PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT TRAVEL TO MY AREA UNLESS YOU WANT MY SERVICES.  I'm NOT hiring models, I have enough on my plate so I'm only accepting paying clients or serious TFCD.  I'm willing to help serious models (new/advances) further develop their portfolio. I will do whatever it takes to help you get the image you are looking for.

Quick note - If you are a model just starting out, don't expect me to pay you!  I've had a few models with ZERO experience contact me to shoot and proceed to ask me what they were getting paid???  If you want to play that game, my rates are $250/hr for new models.

Also, I don't post a lot on here.  I am busy with my personal photographic work and freelance work for The Chicago Tribune. So yes, I'm a real professional, I don't shoot models for "fun" or to "get models naked."  Sorry, but there are so many people that have a camera and say they are a "professional" and nothing more than a creep with a camera. Due to that, I'm selective on what I put up and from time to time will upload one picture then a week later upload 10.  Depends on what I'm liking that week and what I have time to upload.  I'd be happy to email you a link to my most current work upon request.

Also, I don't know why it seems most photographer on here has some fascination with getting models naked or trying to jump in bed with them.  I am not.  I've been on here since 2005, never edited or deleted any of my comments, which you'll see I have no problem with working with anyone.  I'm always leery of people that started shooting 6 months ago and have nothing but nudes in their profile, but hey, that's me.
