My name is Ben, and I am a long time 'hobbyist' who has done a few shoots with people (though have mostly been a landscape photographer).
I'm wanting to do more shoots with models, and connect with people who are interested in working with me to further my experience of shooting people (and along the way give us all some extra folio shots).
I upload my work to sites like RedBubble, istockphoto, dreamstime, fotalia and shutterstock. I am willing to do some shoots "for the experience", but would generally expect models to sign a model release for each of the above sites (excluding RB, which doesn't require them).
When it comes to accepting friend requests - I'm happy to do this after we've done a shoot together, but prefer to keep the list clear otherwise.
