My style varies, from serious portraits to random "lets see what we can create". I'm just as happy shooting a goofy costume, as a nude, as a serious professional shot. Got some weird ideas you want to try? Lets put our heads together and see what we can create.
Oct-Dec 2009 Now Booking Paid Shoots Only
TFP will resume in January unless I have an existing TF agreement with you.
2010 Shoots:
Spring 2010 - Atlanta Georgia area (Woodstock, Kennesaw & Stone Mountain) / Louisville KY
Summer 2010 - Austin/San Antonio Texas area (TX)
TFP/TPCD Shoot Guidelines:
- Proofs emailed within 48 hours of shoot.
- Finished Edited versions emailed within 2-3 weeks.
- CD Mailed within 2-3 weeks.
- Model Release is Required.
- Available as time and commitments allow.
- Traditional paper prints available at a modest cost.
- No Raw/Unedited files released.
Paid Shoot Guidelines
- A modest payment is sometimes available, based on what I can afford. I'm negotiable, I am also not a Federally Bailed Out Bank with unlimited cash reserves. If a paid shoot is done, I will 1099 you at years end for tax purposes. I will therefore require you provide a tax ID. If you are unwilling to provide this information, I will not violate US Federal Tax Law and we will not work together.
Escort Policy
- Escorts are welcome, however you are responsible for all of their expenses, meaning I do not pay for their food, admittance, travel, lodging or time.
- No "hang arounds". Escorts are welcome to wait in the lobby, the car, or the parking lot.
Contacts, Flakes, ID.
I ask for a phone number to contact you to 1-discuss the shoot and plan accordingly and 2-to attempt to reach you should you not be at the agreed upon location as scheduled. I am happily married, and my wife often assists me with shoots. I am not looking for a 'hook up', and your contact information will only be used for legitimate business purposes.
Regarding "no-shows", I do not give second chances and I do talk with numerous other photographers. If you have no intent on working together, do not soil your reputation by scheduling a shoot and blowing me off. Word will get around.
If we are doing a shoot that falls into the nude/implied/suggestive areas, I will need to see a government issued ID and will need to make a copy of that to comply with US Federal Law.
Model Safety
Some photographers enjoy the thrill of abandoned buildings, and breaking and entering. I prefer to more relaxed shoot environment, and seek to avoid being in places I don't belong and the potential for law enforcement involvement. To that end, I will never endanger you or me by suggesting we willingly trespass on other peoples property for a shot. I am also not going to ask that you walk naked through busy downtown intersections, break into an old junk yard and lie naked in broken glass, or dangle dangerously over a railing without a safety net, just to get a shot. I prefer we both come back safe and as sound as we left.
Model & Print Releases
I explain my release at the beginning of the shoot and I require them to be completed at the conclusion of the shoot. If you are unwilling to sign a release, we will not work together. I issue you a separate release depending on what our agreed upon terms are that outlines what you may and may not do with your copies of the prints, which also usually serves as a print release should you wish to print our work together.
"The Studio"
My Studio is where ever I am, which is currently Western New York. I prefer outdoors shoots, though I do have a full mobile studio kit that I can set up as needed. I shoot with both Nikon and Canon DSLR's, Alienbee lighting, and other professional gear.
I am fully insured.
Politically Incorrect and proud of it.
WARNING!
When considering nude or art photography, no professional photographer will shoot this type of work without a model release or checking ID. If he or she says you can pose without a release, be wary and check more than one reference before working with him or her. Model releases can protect both the model and the photographer. My advice is not to shoot with any photographer who doesn't want a model release. Be especially cautious around anyone who insists that you not sign a release, and be certain to read and understand any release offered prior to signing it. A professional will always check ID to ensure you are of legal age to pose and sign. While simple art nude work is usually neither illegal nor immoral, lines can be blurred and laws and what is and is not ok depending on various laws.
WARNING!
