Availability (generally current) otherwise appears just below this. I still shoot primarily in Chicago, but my travel is extensive. I am also co-owner of Skye Studios (digital imaging (Canon 5D) and HD content (Sony EX 1)), so if you are a model, please keep in touch or let me know of your interests. Networking between us and with the photographers we know always helps and I have referred a lot of work out in the past year (whether or not I am in the shoot).
I am a fit, slender and strong model with motivation to conquer a shoot and perform well solo or as part of a dynamic team. I am educated, sincere, responsible and open to all themes. I am competitive, so expect a dedicated subject during a session as I don't quit. I also do not flake. I am also a business person so please do not be surprised at requests for expenses paid in advance other than in special circumstances.
Although I am a kind and cooperative person, please do not use my portfolio friends option to create a billboard and nothing more. Those I add mean something to me and I hope everyone understands this. If you want to suggest a service, please do so by email. Thanks.
My objective here is to provide a great option for photographers in the fashion, editorial, art, glamour, swimsuit, fitness, nude, erotic and fetish fields. This list is not exclusive and any need in the field can be met if you think I fit the bill. Pay and expenses desired and I ask for some expenses in advance according to escrow terms if the endeavor is significant. TFP/CD possible but it is a true exception and my TF rules are different than the basic arrangement, involve agreements and copyright/publicity terms that are clear. I ask that photographers really think about this concept. At this point, pay is a priority. TFP is also fill-in work for obvious reasons ($$$). If a TFP is scheduled, it is set with the understanding that paid work takes priority up to an agreed point in time.
I believe in random acts of kindness and cooperation. What comes around tends to find its way back to you. I am also an idea person who is visual in every respect and I love planning for a shoot and seeing the results. I also have a preferred partner in Rick Skye (here) and a handful of women and men I enjoy working with otherwise.
Email is the best contact. Please open with ideas and proposal for handling expenses and pay, your support and what you need from me if you know at the time. Also, understand that someone will accompany me to many shoots.
I have a background in modeling, a career in marketing and magazine publishing and I have recently renewed the modeling side of things.
I have modeled for photographers in California, New York, Nevada, Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, and Mexico.
Please do not be shy in seeking me out. Tell me what you need with the understanding that I am less likely to work with someone who shows a crass disrespect for men, women or different sexualities. If you want Rick Skye involved, please say so early on as his schedule is busy and often conflicts with mine if we have to be on the same set.
Tom Lane... Thanks for the great work! It is (note, no past tense) a privilege working with you. Any model should view the opportunity as one that cannot be denied.
