Ljs Photography

Lyndon A. Johnson is my full name. I have just recently moved to California  from Chicago. I like to come up with unique locations for my shoots. I am creative and very fun to work with. I was President of a network of Photographers in Chicago that I created to come up with themes of locations with props and Models to create interesting images (See Links). If you are new to modeling, I can direct and am very patient. Please continue to browse my page and feel free to ask for a friend request, tag me, or If you would like to leave a comment, I will comment right back!

MODELS/ACTORS: Head shot series $250.00 (3 fully edited h-res images) Models: Portfolio images: $300-$350 (5-6 fully edited h-res images).

IMPORTANT! If you send a friend request or accept mine, I am assuming you want to collaborate together on a project of mine or yours. I am not here to collect friends to pass a number, I want to perfect my skills and spice up your portfolio. I will do my best to fulfill these goals. Prompt communication is important! I am deleting non-responsive models from my friends list starting 2012. Paid shoots are a priority and require a non refundable $50.00 deposit cancellation fee. I will exchange 5-10 edited images from a shoot if working on TFCD basis for models I feel have a chance to improve my work. My photography has thousands of followers from around the World as I have blogs and other venues for my images. A models chances to become successful increase the more visible his or her images are. My job is to promote myself through these images as much as I can and you may become a part of that! I DO NOT GIVE RAW/UNEDITED IMAGES UNLESS THEY ARE PART OF A PAID JOB; NOT PERSONAL PROJECTS OR TF.

Photographers and Models:
Once a month we plan a meetup around a certain theme and discuss set up, props, and locations. This is especially rewarding for new models that need to spice up their MM portfolio. Photographers range from novice, intermediate, and professional.








TFCD:
I am willing to trade my services for your time. I also like a Model who has something artistic to offer, I am very flexible with that. Contact me only if you are serious and passionate about your abilities as a Model. I expect professionalism and the ability to explore new and different ideas. I am not interested in doing any complete nudes but hot and sexy is preferable.




NETWORKING:
I do test shoots on a regular basis for upcoming projects. All Models that have been chosen for a project have had the opportunity to work with other photographers and have had some nice shots to stack their portfolio.


LOCATION SHOOTS:
Location shoots are all day. They can have as many as 5 photographers at times and 2 or 3 Models to search for unique places on the go and shoot, shoot, shoot!



CASTING:
I am located on the north part of Bakersfield. Professionalism is appreciated and returned. If you schedule a shoot with me, please honor it by respecting that my time is valuable and cancellations are prohibited and punctuation is a must. I am available Fridays and Saturdays and can be ready to shoot with a 2 hour courtesy confirmation call. 




CASTING CALL REPLIES: I appreciate all casting call inquiries that I have received and would like to thank everyone. I am here for the long hall to make this wonderful art my career. If I have not responded to your casting call inquiries, it is because I have narrowed down my choices. I do review as many as I can until I find the look that I want for a particular shoot. I also may add you as a friend or save you as a favorite or both incase of a look that I, or the other photographers are looking for. We will be having 1-2 meetings per month so I will try and keep those interested in mind for those future events.



FRIENDS: If I have added you as a friend it means you have something that I found interesting. I review all friends request seriously. I may ask for a friend request simply because I admire your work or want to network or I may want to use you in the future. I am not trying to pile on friends to reach or surpass a number, just looking to network so I do not waste anyones time. I would like to thank those who have sent a friend request, and those who have added me as a friend. I hope to meet and work with some of you one day. If I have had the pleasure of working with you, I will add you to my lists.
