My friends say I'm the real Hank Moody (from Californication) lol. I love women in all aspects of womanhood and try to bring it out in my shoots by bringing out the real YOU.
DON'T HATE WHAT YOU CAN'T CREATE, KILL THE JEALOUSY BITCHES
That goes out to all the models and photographers that talk about their peers, especially those they never worked with or met. Maybe spend the time practicing instead of trash talking and your shit will look better?
And to all the photographers I listed, thanks for sharing your incredible talent, you are truly an inspiration to myself and countless others
Anyways...
I'm very sweet, genuine, down to earth and usually one of the funnest people you will shoot with, ask others THAT MET ME. Over the years, we all had to deal with the losers on this site and others and that is why I just don't put up with bullshit as you can see from below
My statement below scares off the losers and the real players on this site appreciate where I come from and look forward to meeting and working together.
DON'T BOTHER READING THE REST IF YOU AREN'T FINE WITH THIS:
I love my alcohol, my hookah, women comfortable with their bodies, open minded mentality, non catty women, women who don't talk shit about other models, and women who love loud music (no sleepy R&B here).
I HATE WITH A FUCKING PASSION: 18-22 yr old cunts that came from myspace with their fucking bullshit pics and here only for attention. You know who you are, we know who you are. It's easy to spot you. You in the club pics or your bedroom pics taken by your loser boyfriend or yourself with a timer and have been on this site for more than a month. Serious women on this site will have had at least 1 or 2 shoots by then from someone on this site. I can't shoot conservative women, people who think lingerie is too risque, people who think thongs are too much, models who talk shit about other models, models who think they are the hottest (I will throw you off my roof), sleepy women. I ALSO FUCKING HATE BOYSHORTS WITH A PASSION. I don't need your ass in my face, but take the same girl, same pose and all, one shot with boyshorts from the front, one shot with either a thong or g-string from the front. The thongs and g's always look WAY better and show off your hips, rather than turn you into a fucking box down there.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I ALSO DON'T PAY MODELS AT ALL, NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, ETC. So please don't bother writing me, kissing ass or something, just to ask if I can use you for a project that pays. It shows that you are not genuine with what you say so I don't ever want to meet people who aren't true to themselves and others. Besides, I don't take on projects. I shoot because I love women, and I do not want to be paid to be a monkey with a camera and someone telling me what they want to see.
Besides, women are super comfortable around me and like to walk around naked without me asking them to so why pay just because you shoot nudes too? If I showed you my inbox, then you'd understand and close your mouth

Now to the positive note...

LOCATED BY PENN STATION
First off I want to say that thanks to this site, I made a few REAL friends, you know who you guys are and I love you dearly. All the haters, you can blow me
Second... I DO NOT email back and forth with new people about shoots. You and I have a lot of questions that can be answered in a 10 minute call. Send me your number and best time to reach you, this saves me from flakes and attention whores
Now about me... 32 years old, shooting for just over 10 years, started in college as a hobby shooting friends. I love photography and love women and try to shoot all types of personalities, in all styles and I am self taught. One thing I HAVE TO MENTION is that I have major ADD, not kidding and need constant reminders from models about certain things: edits, etc... Living a super busy life does not help!
During the shoot, I am very respectful yet fun and wild. Please leave all your negativity or ego at the door. I'd like to use my eyes to focus on you and capture a true moment. Let's make it a great escape from the typical life and let it go for the camera.
Something for everyone since I shoot all kinds of models ranging from all styles. Some things will pertain to you and some things will definitely not, I shoot well within your limitations. TFP is for industry standard models that I contact and I charge those I feel are dreaming (5'3 and want nothing but high fashion).
ESCORT RULES
Guy are never allowed at the shoot, their insecure ass can stay home or you can stay home with them. Simple as that... They are more than welcome to drop you off, meet me and look at the shoot location and then pick you up when we are done. They need to know it's about 4-5 hr/shoot and not rush anything.
Women are allowed but be careful about who you choose to bring. Many so called friends end up having hidden jealousy and will be a nightmare instead of support. Know your friends.
RESCHEDULING (MY PET PEEVE)
Please take this very seriously, I will NEVER EVER reschedule someone that flakes last second, especially on weekends. That is the time I cherish most and I will not give anyone the time of day if they make me waste it. Most of the time, it's just you having a nice hangover from partying the night before and not cause your best friend was in a car accident or your grandma died for the 5th time this year. I'm not naive, so please don't insult my intelligence. People that give over a weeks notice, I will reschedule, just once.
Anyways, have fun and be safe... Check your references.
