I'm a global photographer based in Tacoma. I specialize in working with models and performance artists (actors, dancers, musicians, etc.), but I have a passion for pinup (see my other profile at MM
#1572724).
Even though I can't work with everyone that contacts me, I love to meet other industry professionals. Whether you're local or somewhere else in the world, say "hi." You never know, I might be in your area in the near future.
*BOOKING ME*
Want to shoot with me? I offer
very reasonable rates. Just ask. I have packages to fit nearly every budget.
PAID WORK:
I only offer paid jobs when I am making money (commissioned work, stock, commercial, etc.). In other words, I don't pay models just to shoot with me. That's weird and kind of creepy. For paying work, I generally only use models I've previously worked with. If you don't yet have a professional portfolio and references, I probably won't hire you; so that's a good reason to introduce yourself.
TF WORK:
I am currently not accepting any TF work. Both my schedule and portfolio are full and I have little to no time for editing. If, however, you have a great idea for a shoot, let me know and maybe we'll work together in the future. I have lots of MUA, body painter and hair stylist friends that are looking to add to their portfolios. I'd consider doing something as a favor to one of them if you have the right look/idea.
POLICIES:
Models must be 18 or older (ID required) or accompanied by a parent/guardian and model (or guardian) must sign a release form.
I retain the rights to all images (unless you're buying the rights).
E-mail address and phone number must be provided when scheduling a shoot.
Escorts are always welcomed, but are expected to be professional (read: quiet and out of the way) and helpful.
I have had the pleasure of working with many incredible professionals in my career, from up-and-coming to well-known artists, dancers, models and performers.
Here are a few highlights from the past year:
Remedy (hip-hop artist) - in-studio - Jan 2010
Seattle Fashion Week auditions - Club Trinity - Mar 2010
Fusion (music duo) - Sedona, AZ desert - Jul 2010
King Squad (hip-hop group) - Roatan, Honduras - Aug 2010
Winner: Digital Art of the Day 3/12/10
