GENERAL INFORMATION

I am a semi-professional photographer who shoots primarily to create stock for personal projects. While I have been known to accept a commercial assignment from time to time, doing so is not my main focus.

At present, I am shooting mostly wildlife and scenic, which has always been my first love in regard to photography. I would, however, like to incorporate models from time to time. At one point, I was shooting models strictly for the purpose of creating glamour and artistic images, so it seems like a good idea to mix the two interests every once in awhile.










DIVERSITY!

I have shot primarily black models and truly enjoy doing so, because they have a beauty that is wide ranging and wonderful. As great as these shoots have been, I would like to shoot a variety of women in the future, so all are enthusiastically encouraged to contact me! I want to work with beautiful Asian women, Caucasian women, East Indian women, Hispanic women and, yes, more women of African descent!










If you don't have the common courtesy to do what you say you will do and have no respect for a photographer's time and efforts, please don't contact me. It is not my intention to sound like I think I'm "all that," but I just don't have the time to engage in endless correspondence with models, go to great lengths to get ready for a shoot, spend money buying props, etc., and have a model decide at the last moment, that she can't be bothered to show up. To put it bluntly, this sort of behavior is rude - I wouldn't do it to you, so please don't do it to me.
