NOTE: I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE SEVERAL WOMEN WHO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH MY ART. IF WE HAVE DISCUSSED A PHOTO SHOOT, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. (And thank you!) THEREFORE, I AM HOLDING OFF ON ADDING TO THE LIST OF TRULY INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN TO WORK WITH FOR A WHILE. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU REALLY STAND OUT, FEEL FREE TO ASK ABOUT BEING ADDED. Otherwise, it will be a while. Always available for commissions, of course.
I have been involved with photography for decades, and teach at a variety of venues and organizations in the Houston area. I have self-published three photography books and one inspirational book. 12 more photo books are in the works. I also use my photography in presentations, exhibitions and more to convey my perceptions on beauty to various audiences. I'm looking for collaborators...women who share in the creative experience and who believe in artistic expression. I'm particularly interested in creating images to go with my poetry, and to inspire poetry and writing.
I create art inspired by women courageous enough to be who they really are--vulnerable, strong, innocent, seductive, beautiful, simple, complex--as creative expression that I use in presentations, online and more.
I love conversation and sharing ideas....so, please don't ask for a friend tag if we haven't had a chance to share ideas.
NOTE: Much of my work is with "nude" models. To me, that means models are undressed, it doesn't mean that everything is showing or "out there." There seems to be different definitions of "nude" here; I opt for the dictionary definition.
