Call me Eric.
I'm a Strobist-style (off-camera speedlights) shooter, comfortable with location and studio shoots. Business is picking up so I'll be looking at exciting concepts or exceptional talent only for future TF* work. Don't be afraid to ask, I'm reasonable and fair.
You can check with the models I have worked with, I try and make the shoots fun, have a laugh or two, but will always strive to treat people respectfully. Having said that, I am most comfortable when I can speak my mind in a direct and straight forward manner! So if something I say or write confuses you, just ask for clarification before running off and drawing the wrong conclusion. (Although I am young at heart, I am 25-30 years older than many of the models so there could be a minor language barrier. In other words, I don't have any tats or piercings and need reading glasses!)
On a personal note, I am a pudgy, balding, gray haired middle-aged man who is well past his prime. LOL. My beautiful college sweetheart and I have been married for 27 years and together for over 30. Although I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends, my presence in MM is for purely photographic and financial benefit. And as many of you say, I, too, am not here for dating. (Haha, I thought at least one photographer should have this statement in their port!)
Enough of the BS, lets shoot something big together!
