Michael Solano

I've been shooting film and digital portraiture off and on for almost 20 years and relocated to San Diego from San Francisco in July of 2004.

In addition to shooting exclusively in high-resolution digital format I also post-edit all of my own work with Adobe Photoshop CS.

Feel free to check out some of my recent work by going to http://michaelsolano.com

If you're modeling independently and interested in TFCD (Time for CD) work please feel free to contact me through this posting or at michael@michaelsolano.com. 

I'm currently focusing on Male Artistic Portraiture compositions limited TFCD sessions. When submitting your request for consideration please make sure to attach a current digital photo of yourself with your contact information.

**Note: I have specific stipulations for doing Time for CD work and will not offer to release ownership of the content in any situation unless agreed to before a scheduled photo shoot. My hope is that the work I produce for my clients will help them promote themselves and hopefully generate paid work for them.

If you already have representation please have your agency or agent contact me directly for TFCD considerations.


For my current rates or additional information about my services, feel free to contact me through this posting or from my website.

To "Photoshop Wizards" on Modelmayhem

I would prefer to not be solicited for photo retouching of my images.  I post-edit all of my work and do not require these types of services at this time. I will also not refer any of my models to anyone on this site that clearly does not state in their profile that they require proof of ownership of photos from any model when charging for these kinds of services. I make this very clear to the models that I work with and have them sign a model/photographer agreement stating that this would be  a breach of our contractual agreement. It's not that I find this type of service unnecessary but I see too many people offering photo retouching services on MM without having any regard to the ownership of the content they are charging to edit. This is bad business practice and gives other Photo Wizards a bad name.
