Thanks for checking out my portfolio! I'm a photographer from the South Jersey/Philly area, and I absolutely LOVE shooting. I'm open to just about any and all ideas and I'm always looking to expand my portfolio with new and interesting concepts. I'm still building my portfolio, so I'm definitely open to TF* shoots if they'll benefit the portfolios of all those involved.
Shooting is one of my greatest joys, so I like keeping my shoots laid back and fun! I love talking with and getting to know my subjects before the session so everyone is comfortable and confident going into the shoot. I take my work very seriously, but when the mood on a set or in the studio is relaxed, upbeat and fun, everyone benefits. My motto: "If the talent is happy, EVERYONE is happy!"
I am a member of the "Fortress of the Arts" co-op studio in Philadelphia, so I have access to a fully equipped studio, complete with make-up/changing room, wardrobe, props, sets, etc. The studio is a former industrial factory and warehouse, built in the mid-1800's, so there's lots of space for edgy, conceptual shots as well as standard studio shots, using hi-key lighting, flat backgrounds, etc. I also LOVE shooting on location and with natural light. I'm willing to travel just about anywhere that would give me and the subject some incredible shots.
So, if you like my port and if you're interested in possibly discussing a project, concept or idea, please contact me through Model Mayhem, via email at: jcaliva@yahoo.com or by phone at 856-305-0973.
Hi from the lower shore of Maryland!
