I am a freelance photographer with my main interest and photographic income coming from shooting ballet and stock.  I am always looking for models with a 'girl-next-door' look with a little something else.  I enjoy working with new models and experienced models alike.  If you are new and you need build your portfolio, I will accommodate you as long as a model release is signed.  If you are an established model, I have no problem hiring you as long as you have a marketable look.  Usually, for paid shoots, I it will be a short 'test' shoot and then wait and see how marketable your look is.  Future shoots are commensurate with the market value of the test shoot or previous shoots.

I organize shoots around a theme with a complete plan.  I will work on a concept for weeks and before the shoot I will sit down and talk to the model about the plan.  I am very interested in input from the model and I try to be as accommodating as possible.  With all the prior planning, I try to keep shoots to less than three hours if possible. 

If you're local and you like my methods, give me a shout, I'm sure that we can work on a project or two together.
