BOOK PROJECT: MASKS & SHADOWS
I am working on my second book. This one is called "Masks & Shadows" and is a study in chiaroscuro nudes. It was deliberately planned for the shy.

Have you always wanted to be part of an artistic nude body-positive project, but were afraid to be recognized? Not a problem: this project hides faces using masks, and/or shadows. No faces will be shown, and models will not be identified unless they request it.

Samples will be posted here in an album titled Masks & Shadows.

Contact me if you are interested.

PLEASE NOTE I SHOOT MOSTLY NUDES. MOST IMAGES ARE NSFW!

Here is what a couple of models have had to say about me:
Note: These were put here with the model's permission before MM started the new way of allowing us to create "credits" for people. Going forward, check that area, also.

"So Shoot Me! Photography is definitely my favorite to work with. Rick has a great eye for detail, and went far out of his way to make sure I was comfortable for the duration of the shoot. He has amazing drive, and vision, and I would recommend him to any model!" -- Madame Mao, #2645131

"I had so much fun shooting with you today. You are professional, yet a lot of fun. You have great ideas and are patient and helpful with posing. I look forward to working with you again real soon." -- Them Blue Eyes, #1962348

Let's Treat One Another with Courtesy and Respect
PLEASE note: If you aren't sure you want to shoot nudes, please do not contact me. I almost exclusively shoot nudes both for "regular" artistic nude photos, as well as for compositing. See my portfolio to see what I mean.

If you like the images you see in my portfolio, and are interested in shooting something like them, we might be able to shoot together.  Drop me a line and let's see. 

Direct contact: rick at RickHorowitz.Photography (note that is NOT a .com; it's a .Photography) or (559) 681-1888. (Note that I am a lawyer by day, so the voicemail message will probably refer to that. It's not a wrong number. )

Newbies/Amateurs Welcome!
I will work with anyone who is serious about building a solid portfolio.  I'm VERY open to collaborative efforts if you have ideas for something specific you want to try. However, if you are asking me to shoot TFP (that is, for free), then keep in mind that I shoot primarily nudes. So if you're willing to pose nude for my portfolio, then I will shoot also non-nudes to help you build your portfolio.
