I can't seem to find any good Alt/Goth/Fetish photographers, MUA, stylist.. etc. anywhere near my area. I would love to do some work in this genre but most of the portfolios I have seen for photographers in my area doing this type of work have been horrid! They are mostly shots of chicks tied up in a cheap hotel room or something similar. The photos I have on MM page now are better than that and they were mostly self taken. I am so frustrated so I thought I would come here and ask for your help.

Do you know of any artists who work in this genre in or around Tennessee? Are you a photographer, MUA or stylist in this area who would be interested in work in this genre?


Thanks

Sadly there are very very few great photographers here.
Larry B. is an excellent Nashville photographer. I wouldn't call him alt /goth , but I've worked with him before and he rocks.

Collin Rae another photographer I've worked with numerous times get my seal of approval. I just convinced him to move to TN. He's now here and currently settling in.

Check the credits on my profile for their MM #'s.

He arrived on Sunday. He was a little set back by the lack of traffic and how friendly people are here. Maybe we should all go for drinks at F. Scotts, a friend of mine bartends there... hint hint..

Thank you Envy. I took a look at Colin Rae's port and I have seen Larry B's port before both are wonderful. I would be thrilled to shoot with either one of them. I see that Colin Rae has a thing for feet perhaps I should send this photo along with my email to him inquiring about a shoot. LOL

Well, DG, I certainly don't consider myself "great" or an alt/goth photographer.  However, I am a bit bored with what I've been shooting lately and would welcome the challenge of working with you to do something different and of quality.  I'm not from TN, but I think Rogersville is near Nashville???  Not very close, but not so terribly far, either.

Let me know if you'd like to discuss more.

Dale Rogersville is about 4 1/2 hours from Nashville but only about 1 1/2 from Knoxville. LOL

I think alot of guy photographers get off on the women playing more of the submissive/ victim role. You definately have a more Dom. Position of power look. I would love to work with you Damn! I'm in Cali ! If we ever have the oportunity, let me know.

P.S. Maybe what you can do is give the photographers some direction on what you want out of the shoot. AND LET THEM KNOW YOU WANT A CERTAIN TYPE OF MOOD not just some shots in a hotel. tell them to step up their game with some props. .........Sh*t!!!! you could get cheap stuff anywhere to create any mood! I just did some shots recently. if interested in seeing some my concepts hit me up!

I am definately more of a Domme than a sub but I can "play" the part of the sub/victim for photos. If I ever make it out to Cali I will let you know and a bunch of others. I would have a blast in Cali.  I am definately in the wrong part of the country for all of things I am into. LOL

I love alt/fetish/gothic images. I also enjoy the really dark violence/suicide images. I think the pin up girl type shots are great too.

I am very open minded and up for most anything so long as it is tastefully done and not pornographic in nature.  I would love to do a FemDom shoot some time. I love shibari rope art and wouldn't mind being tied up at all if it involved this beautiful artform.

Please don't give Collin a stroke. He just moved here and I haven't broken him in yet.


Yes, send feet photos. It's a surefire way into his heart.

Hi Tina,

Tied up.  Suicide shots.  Hmm.

Well, I was a Navy officer for many years, but I was in aviation, so I didn't spend too much time aboard ship learning to tie fancy knots, but I could probably do a respectable job.  Maybe if I sleep in a Holiday Inn Express the night before....

I do have a really large jacuzzi tub in my house that sort of begs for some kind of dark and slightly evil scenario, and of course there's always my black Harley and assorted other accessories I've accumulated over the years to put in play...my dad left me this awesome bull whip that I got quite good with as a boy...

In summary, if you've got the wardrobe/accessories you'd like to include, I've got the twisted imagination to turn them into something we would both like.

Dale I will send you an email so we can discuss the possibility of a shoot in the near future.
