Due to the high number of requests from models, I will no longer be naked as I photograph my models, so DONT even ask !!!!  However, if I feel you are worth my time and my soul, I might make an exception.

Or, I'll show you every inch of my nude body in my portfoilio. "But I want you to know those are self made images so do not even think of asking me to do any type of nude work. If you do I'll not respond and block you.

Except for the "not respond and block you" bit, I resemble that remark...

Some of us are getting too old to want to keep doing the naked thing, even for paying models.

I just want them to see what their photographer looks like.

I do not want one I require an escort. No escort no nudes.

I don't bring an escort: I bring a gorilla. Hand trained to react to the simplest gestures. The moment the model makes a threatening move toward me, into the chipper they go. The model that is, not my valuable gorilla.

I mean seriously, models are a dime a dozen on here.

(Gosh I crack myself up!)

I had thought about photographing nude but after seeing this I've changed my mind.

Q: Do you shoot nudes?
A: Yes. Artistic and Playboy style. No spreads, no porn, no trash. Rates vary and under no circumstances will I shoot nude for TFP.

SOLD OUT: Appearing at an artistic nude workshop on October 28, 2006. Sign up now to shoot!

Only shooting TFP with experienced/published photographers that can bring something new and creative to my book (yes, this includes tears). While TFP is limited, please do not be offended if I will not work with you on a TFP basis. I have a full book and only choose to update it on a case by case basis, with at least a MUA. My rates are reasonable and negotiable. I am not interested in nudes/topless TFP, so please inquire for rates if you'd like to use me for that type of work.

I am the most down to earth, friendly model out there. I take direction well and love innovative ideas. I am not a diva, I do not have an attitude, and I promise a professional and fun shoot with me, if you decide to hire me. And if you don't believe me, I have thousands of references...well not thousands...but ask, or simply contact anyone that I am linked to.

HHHMMMM... The Jury is still out.

Couldn't be worse then what i got.  Came in to see a new message that said "OMG  I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!  PLEASE HIT ME BACK I WANNA WORK WITH YOU SO BAD!!"

follow directly after it with "Disregard that last message, I like your photos but I don't do nudes, I have respect for myself."

Yep,

Just got one of those two. My entire portfolio is nudes, model would love to work with me but doesn't do nudes. And is also tattoed from stem to stearn. I thought that was the point. Must be something in the LA water. Or dropped on head when very young.

Thing about it that boggled MY mind is that she hit ME up, I didn't know her from adam, so I didn't initiate contact, ergo I didn't ASK for nudes.

One last one -  model calls to work with me.  She says she loves my work on MM.  Will not do nudes however.  Comes to my office.  8 out of 12 images in her port were NUDES!

I can't make this stuff up, folks!

Gorillas are good. I've found the trunk monkey to be more affordable in the long run, though.
