The name is Thomas Gordon.  I am a stock photographer but shoot all styles and freelance for a number of companies. 

My photography site is known as Gordon'sLife Photo, but here on MM I go by that name as well as my old tag keldar which came from my e-mail back in college.  Yes, I am a part-time shooter with a very real job but I love photography and it keeps me sane.  :-)

Ok, what else do you need to know? 

First, I NEVER shoot without a signed model release.  No model release equals no shoot.  I also use the standard Istockphoto/Getty model release a copy of which can be found here:  http://www.istockphoto.com/docs/languag … elease.pdf

If you want to work with me AND we are shooting nudes, and/or I am traveling to you AND your portfolio does not already show your figure, please know that I will need at least three self taken unphotoshopped photos prior to booking (front, side and rear).  Traveling is expensive and neither of us wants to waste our time.  I am less interested in another photographers skills in shopping your photo as I am in your actual look at the current time.

Also please know, if you schedule with me, and then blow me off for a shoot, don't expect to shoot with me again... AND for the record a cell phone call or text message cancelling an hour before because you stayed out late drinking and can't get your butt out of bed does not cut it.

Hopefully still interested in shooting?  In that case here are some links to my work:

My studio equipment includes: 4 AlienBees B800 Flash Units, 9ft paper backdrops and a CANON EOS-5D MARK II.

Due to my schedule, VERY Selective TFP/CD. Only if we have worked before, you have something exceptional to add to my book, or I LOVE your look or attitude.  I like to shoot with excited and uninhibited people.  Someone who brings something special to my work or is a joy to be around is always appreciated.

YES, ESCORTS ARE OK. 
If you are paying me hell bring 20-30, lol.  If its TFP, then it more of an annoyance to me but sei la vie.  That being said, I strongly prefer to shoot without husbands or boyfriends looking over my shoulder.  Models can of course bring along unobtrusive escorts that do not stay on set.  The escorts MUST be quiet and please do not look to them for advice on shooting but instead stay focused on me.  It is a major pet peeve of mine.  I would much rather you just contacted any of the models or photographers that have worked with me and/or checked references.  If the are annoying do expect the shoot to be of short duration.  Also you are responsible for your escorts behavior.   

Here is access to a public blogpost with numerous comments from people I have worked with, so please look at it:  http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuse … =482938902

I RARELY shoot with the under 18 crowd outside of agency work, but if you want to work with me a PARENT has to sign the model release.  I also insist upon meeting or speaking to a parent or guardian, and in most cases would actually prefer them to stay on set with their child.   

The best way to contact me is e-mail: tom@gordonslifephoto.com or to message me here on model mayhem. 

Thank you in advance for considering me and I look forward to working with you!  :-)
