Hi, and thanks for stopping by!
So... I figured since you guys put so many pretty pictures of yourselves up on this site, I gotta put up one of myself, too. After all, if I know what you guys look like, shouldn't you know what I look like?? So here it is. What do you think?
I was born and raised in Germany and came to LA in 1997. I have an honors degree in Photography from Art Center College of Design (
www.artcenter.edu)
If you'd like to shoot with me to build your own portfolio, by all means, message me. My rates are flexible and reasonable, and I'm sure we can figure something out.
TF*:
I will only shoot TF* if your concept and look are something I can use for my own purposes as well (read: Fine Art Nudes Book - see CASTING CALL for more info).
REGARDING FRIEND REQUESTS:
I'll ONLY accept friend requests under the following circumstances:
We're either actual friends, or HAVE worked together, or WILL work together, or I REALLY like your work. Also, please leave a TAG or PIC COMMENT before Friend Requesting me. This isn't MySpace, and it's not a competition of who has the most "friends".
CONCEPTS I'D LOVE TO SHOOT
"BLACK AND WHITE" CONCEPT
I'm DYING to shoot a FINE ART NUDE SERIES for my book (see CASTING CALL) with a VERY PALE WHITE GIRL and a VERY DARK AFRICAN-AMERICAN GIRL. These will be VERY TASTEFUL and ARTFUL Nudes, most likely on a grey or white seamless in a studio setup.
"GREAT DANE" CONCEPT
I'd love to set up a Fine Art Nudes shoot with a GREAT DANE and a rather tall and slender girl. These would most likely be B&Ws in my studio on a simple seamless or we'd schlepp out to the desert and shoot in a dry lake bed. I think this could be KILLER!!
THESE CONCEPTS ARE FOR THE FINE ART NUDES BOOK I'M SHOOTING FOR. MORE INFO ON THIS IN MY CASTING CALL. ANYONE INTERESTED IN SHOOTING ANY OF THESE CONCEPTS WITH ME, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME!!
I'm MODEL MAYHEM'S 45TH PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK! YAY!

IF YOU BOOK A SHOOT WITH ME I EXPECT YOU TO BE ON TIME AND READY TO SHOOT, UNLESS WE AGREED OTHERWISE IN WRITING. IF YOU DO NOT SHOW OR CANCEL LESS THAN 48 HRS IN ADVANCE, YOU'LL BE REWARDED WITH A PROMINENT SPOT ON MY WALL OF SHAME. SO PLEASE BE PROFESSIONAL, PUNCTUAL, AND PRESENTABLE WHEN YOU ARRIVE FOR OUR SHOOT, AND PLEASE AVOID THE FOLLOWING: HANGOVERS, BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES FROM PARTYING THE NIGHT BEFORE, TERRIBLE SKIN FROM "STUDYING FOR FINALS", ETC. IF I FEEL YOUR APPEARANCE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERS FROM YOUR LOOK IN YOUR PORT, AND YOUR IMAGES WILL NEED MAJOR PHOTOSHOPPING TO LOOK ACCEPTABLE, WE'LL HAVE TO REDUCE YOUR FEE AS YOU'LL COST ME MORE TIME TO GET TO THE SAME RESULT. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN BOOKING A SHOOT WITH ME. IT SAVES US ALL A LOT OF TIME AND AGGRAVATION, AND I THINK THAT'S ONLY FAIR. AND JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T READ THIS DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU, TOO. THANK YOU.

It seems to work!! You put people on here, and all of a sudden, they start paying attention and snap to it! AMAZING! EVERYONE should have a Wall of Shame™!
