Greetings,
- Thank-you for taking the time to view my photos and profile.
A bit about me and my outlook on photography.
- I like photography (it's a passion) and I take photos for enjoyment and to capture beauty on "film". I have taken photos, over 200 models to date directly, and another 100 as the second photographer. I very much like working with new models. I like the before and after look. I like seeing a bashful model turn into a confident model. In general I like helping people and like photography so it's a match for me. I'm serious about photography but I'm don't take myself too seriously. I like to have fun with the photos.
- My passion is still shooting nature and it probally always will be my passion. I have been published several times in nature magazines over the years.
- I take my time when we photograph. I let you get used to the camera and used to me. I like to take it slow and steady. I've found that this approach has led to many GREAT photos. The light will hit just right or I'll get that "right look" from the model and then the photo is outstanding. I like a less formal approach and want the model to "like" being in front of the camera. I like amateur models. Models with little or no experience are fun to shoot. Outdoor shots are my favorite, but the weather here in Seattle forces me indoors at times. I like to work with natural light.
- The shoots are all about how the models feels about themselves. Beauty that comes from the inside out is more appealing than outer beauty alone. My goal is to create an environment that allows the model to feel comfortable enough to let that beauty come out and be captured on "film".
- I am looking for models that I can use as repeats. I feel the photos get better after repeated shoots with the same model/ MUA / Stylist / photographer team. (if possible). What I'm looking for in a model is a positive attitude.
- I can and do, shoot test shots which last 10-60 mins. After the test session I can provide the model a CD or limited prints. The purpose of giving the model a copy of the photos is for the model to view them and see what works and doesn't work for us. That way during the formal shoot we can create some great photos. I'm into photography because of the art. While I do have many paid shoots this is not my primary means of income by any means. For me it is Art first, pay second.
- Are the photos posted here on Model Mayhem my best photos? Perhaps not, but each photo was a blast to shoot and those models listed are some of my favorite, "low maintenance" models that I've shot.
NOTE: I meet with ALL (99% of the time) models prior to any shoot to see if we can work together as model and photographer. We BOTH must be comfortable with each other before the shoot or it won't happen. I create an atmosphere that is comfortable and safe. You are certainly welcome to bring a companion / escort to the shoot, but PLEASE have it be someone that you can be comfortable with while modeling. The escort will generally be off the set but close by. I will need to meet with the escort prior to the shoot.
