I'm a down and leaving photographer (as opposed to up and coming, is joke!) in the small, narrow world of advertising illustration. Grew up in California and start in photography on school yearbooks. Studied at Art Center College of Design in LA. Worked on east coast (Boston-New York) and moved back to California to take care of family.
Have been working in Sacramento, San Francisco, Reno, Las Vegas and Los Angeles depending on job. A few times a year will work in Portland, Oregon and Idaho.
Would like to get more artistic work in my portfolio, which is mostly commercial right now. I DO NOT do TFCD, but will trade for prints only. Tend to be very picky about the quality of the work that's produced and expect a lot from models.

You know, I never could understand what models wanted when they said they wanted "commercial" shots. After looking at your porfolio--I now get it! Job well done.
BTW--I couldn't shoot commercial if I tried.
