I'm a photographer who has shot primarily portraits and weddings since 1997 in the Saint Louis area. Having worked with a few models I know that it's a joy working with subjects who know how to stand, pose, etc. I like to be as unique as possible and, rather than copy another's shot, be inspired to do it differently or even better.
I am a Christian, and while this does not mean I'm horribly conservative, I limit what I shoot to a certain level of "PG-13" modesty. This does not mean we can't acheive something "sexy" when needed. :-)
MODELS: Please know that whether we shoot TF* or one of us pays, I will deliver my absolute best images. I only ask that you offer the same effort, or at least show up for the shoot. I'm currently building my portfolio. Do you have a concept you want to try? Let's talk. I'm experienced in portraiture and patient and EAGER to try new concepts.
ESCORTS:
Escorts are completely welcome provided they do not distract me or models. My preference is that escorts wait patiently outside the shooting area, but within earshot.
I MAY HURT SOME FEELINGS:
Can we all agree that improvement of our portfolios and professional perfection is our goal? I learned in my first college photo course that criticism is a part of this business and that I needed to have a thick skin if I was to grow. If I leave a comment about one of your photos that isn't 100% positive, don't cry to Mamma. Accept that you (and I) are not perfect and learn from it.
