CLS Photography

First of all, thank you so much for actually stopping to read my profile. I will respond as soon as I can to all comments, FRs, TAGs and PMs. Now..."on with the show."

I am a hardworking but fun portrait and fashion/glamour photographer with over 15 years of experience in various areas (action sports, landscape, etc.). I have a passion for capturing the human form in  interesting ways so I'm focusing (literally) my time and energy in an area that allows me to interact with people more and work in an industry I feel is more creative and fun. My main objective is to constantly improve my photographing and post-processing techniques in order to bring more depth and imagination to the (hopefully) unique images I create.

Since I'm constantly refining/changing my technique, I will do selective TF* arrangements that will be mutually beneficial to all parties (model, MUA, etc.) involved. If you're interested shooting with me, you must message me directly since I don't consider FRs and TAGs as any indication of photo shoot opportunities.

I'm open to paying models for their time and effort if they're experienced enough to require little to no guidance on what pose(s) will make their "look" stand out during a photo shoot.

Since I find outdoor shoots more interesting and natural looking, I'd like to collaborate with clothing designers, hairstylists, MUAs and models that are looking to work on location (non-studio) shoots. If you have an idea and would like to partner up with me, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm totally fine with escorts as long as they're willing to be my assistant when needed and do not interfere with the shoot. Don't worry, female escorts won't be required to do much except maybe hold a reflector for outdoor shoots.

Some (but not all) Of The Concepts I Would Like To Shoot:

# Elegant, Dramatic, Classic, and Conservative fashion styles
# Retro/vintage (1920s to 1950s)
# Models at play - colorful studio or outdoors setting with toys/props
# Altered states - a blend between reality and the dark side of humanity
# Goth/rock - lots of color, studs, tattoos, etc.
# Edgy style lingerie / border line fetish
# Fashion look in old run down buildings/locations
# Sports/fitness - model in action (outdoor location)
# Tasteful bikini shots at various outdoor locations (beach, pool side, etc.)
# Zivity Photo Sets

Important Notes (please read):

1) I will never release ALL of the images I shoot - I select the best of the best

2) I will never release RAW (unedited images) files

3) Under no circumstance do I want you to change/edit any photo(s) I deliver to you (find another photographer if that's what you want)

4) I will have all models sign a (promotional only or commercial) release form

5) Proof of age is an absolute requirement for all implied and nude work

6) Models under the age of 18 will require a parent/guardian to be present during the entire shoot

7) I will always put paying clients first when I prioritize my schedule. This means I may have to reschedule TF* work if necessary but I will you give advance notice before doing so.
