Thanks for checking me out!
First off: please don't send friend requests without a PM or Tag explaining how you'd like to work together. I tend to ignore 'drive-by' friend requests, especially from those seemingly too far away to feasibly collaborate.
With that out of the way, I'm an aspiring art photographer located in Springfield, Ma. In addition to shooting for Lifedance Studios and various other local performers and businesses, I also shoot landscapes—both urban (in and around Springfield) and nature, throughout the Pioneer Valley.
I'm available for collaboration both in studio (in Westfield, Ma.) and on location, for the purpose of improving the quality and volume of my portfolio. I enjoy working with models of *all* looks: any gender, shape, size, body type, or ethnicity. Though I like to think my leanings are artistic, I'm open to any sort of alternative theme—anything unusual and fun! However, I quite honestly have no interest in fashion (industry or otherwise), glamor or pinup work, nor will I heavily post-process my work with airbrush, fake backgrounds, or the like. If you're a model looking for either of the latter for your portfolio, you're sure to find photographers who do it far better than I, and/or enjoy it more.
For compensation, I am accepting trade work only for imaginative and artistic work that greatly adds to the quality of both our portfolios. Otherwise, I charge my standard rates, with separate packages for prints vs CD. For models coming from outside of Western Mass., I'm willing to reimburse reasonable travel expenses—just as I expect that my own travel be reimbursed if I'm coming to you. Escorts of any kind are always welcome in the studio or on location, and escorts willing to help set up and take down equipment are MORE than welcome (but not required

).
