The Butterfly Collection is Christopher Paul's personal venture to preserve the legacy of his work by displaying the absolute best pieces of his fine art images in a series of publications. His primary focus in photography has been to specialize in feminine artistic full and implied nudes, classic pin-ups and boudoir art styles, asian gravure idols, fetish and cosplay themes, and unique vignettes of eroticism. But the collection is here to express more than a variety of beautiful women. It's about capturing the ellusive mystery behind the feminine emotions...boldness, modesty, coquettishness, confidence, sensuality, melancholy, and contentment.
Evoking and capturing these moments take patiences and experience, like catching butterflies!
The Butterfly Collection is the selected works of photographer and artist Christopher Paul whose parent company, Private Collections Limited (PCL), provides stock images of nude photography and art to publishers seeking content as well private collectors.
About Christopher Paul
I am a professional digital photographer and graphic designer in Los Angeles available for commissioned local photography and digital art projects. I have a home studio I work out of and use for indoor sessions. I have great location spots for inspiring outdoor sessions as well.
I have 10+ years of professional photography experience. I only work with Canon Digital-SLR cameras. I do not do film photography. I prefer to use lots of natural light when ever possible or low wattage indoor lighting to create the shadowing I feel is appropriate to evoke a mood and maintain a natural look. I rarely use flash.
My years of hired photography work have included location images for architectural and landscape documents for various city and county government offices, stock images for marketing and advertisement projects for private firms, and commissioned artistic nudes images for publishers, model's portfolios and private collectors.
After several years of providing photography and graphic art services for various companies, I created a stock imaging company called Private Collections Limited (PCL), focusing on strictly providing stock images of artistic nude and erotic nude images. After four years of providing such services, I have decided to show the legacy of my work by creating a series of publications called The Butterfly Collection.
I am a consumate professional and I pratice a high degree of organization and mental focus during my work. On some occasions an assisting photographer is involved to help shoot multiple angles to help work quickly outdoors as valueable daylight changes minute-to-minute. I ask that models please have a good attitude during a shoot, have patience, and allow for direction and creative criticism. The results will definitely be worth everyones efforts!
There are many ways to photograph and display the human body and nudity comes with the territory. If you are modeling for us for this reason, please come already comfortable with your body and it's complete exposure. I am all business and see nothing more than a photogenic subject. My only interest is getting truly unique and enthralling shots. When I start a session my approach to it is that we talk a bit, create a mood for the concept, and I'll coach you through the session as it comes to me. It's ever important for me to capture those moments as the session evolves. As far as I see it, my sessions are about capturing something with my camera and unless I do, it will be gone forever!

ATTN: MODELS
The Butterfly Collection photographs female models exclusively. The concept here, we need women of the general public. No fashion or glamour models or wannabe actresses, nobody already established in some way with the entertainment industry and modeling nude on the side. What we need are everyday women that make up the girl-next-door and girls-around-town that make up the unique blend of Southern California. Students, baristas, sales reps, accountants, nurses, waitresses, go-go dancers, school teachers, grocery store workers, strippers, fastfood workers, post office workers, 411 director assistance operators, hotel hostess, massage therapists, daycare workers...you get the picture-- everyday women who make up the community and who are healthy, fit, active, care about their looks and have a generally good attitude about themselves and life.
We work with independent models only. You can be new to modeling or experienced, just not contracted in any way. We will not work with models with management or from an agency.
..........................$$$PAID GIGS$$$........................
............WE PAY MODELS FOR NUDE WORK!!!............
.......RATES ARE BASED ON MODELING ABILITIES.......
We only pay for your time in front of the camera, not your mere presence. We hire only independent models and pay them directly at the end of the session - not to agencies, not to managers!
We negotiate a rate of pay first. In most cases, we have two photographers, on assisting another. We work very quickly and in a timely fashion. Keep in mind, if you are performing poorly or have the wrong attitude during the first hour, we will pay you our rate for that hour and excuse you from the studio.
((((TFCD GIGS))))
If you are inquiring about TFCD, we selectively provide TFCD sessions. We only honor this if your limits are implied nude.
We do not provide for hair or make-up for TFCD sessions, this you must arrange yourself. We provide a CD formatted with hi-res jpeg images for you to print how you choose. We do not provide prints.
((((THE RULES))))
These rules apply to any model, paid or TFCD. Please read them so you can be clear on how to proceed with modeling for us.
All models
MUST make an appointment for an in-person preliminary interview prior to any photographic work to establish age and proper identification, fill out all necessary forms, and to establish the nature of the work so all parties are in agreement. Absolutely no photography is required at the preliminary interview. All photography work will be scheduled on another date after the preliminary interview.
All images produced are the property of The Butterfly Collection and PCL or affiliated publishers.
Any photography sessions with The Butterfly Collection and PCL require a signed release.
Since we work in all stages of nudity we requires two forms of identification and a Title 18 U.S.C. Section 2257 statement.
(State ID or drivers license and a school ID, library card or membership ID with your name on it. No SS cards or anything with your SSN on it!)
Please plan ahead for any appointment with us and be on time. Arrange to make yourself available for at least half the day and be relaxed. Make sure you are feeling well, free of stress or tiredness, and do not be encumbered with other plans for the day. Be alert and focused on the subject matter we arrange for you concerning the shoot.
Absolutely no escorts during the photography session, no exceptions! An escort can bring you to the studio or interview but they can not be present during the shoot. We conduct our business and interviews with the model and only the model, not the escort. We take our presence in the photography industry very seriously. You should be quite comfortable and convinced of our good business ethics after the preliminary interview.
If you can not make your appointment be considerate enough to contact us 24-hours in advance by email or phone to reschedule. If you are late for your appointment more than 30 minutes or you do not show up without said prior notification you could be blacklisted from working with us.
Please do not let that happen as we do want to work with you.
**************************************************************************************************

Each fiscal quarter we seek to buy nude and/or implied nude collections. All collections we purchase must include the source data such as RAW files, the model release and copies of proper identification. We will always credit the photographer, but we own the copyright 100%. Inquire about selling your photos during the first week of the months of JANUARY/APRIL/JULY/OCTOBER.
