I am a painter and photographer who uses painted, drawn and photographic images of the face and body as the palette and a metaphor. For photography I focus on fine art exotic portraiture and figure work, as well as dramatic outdoor images for calendars and stock sales. These are my black and white images- figures, faces and sometimes erotic.
I like to collaborate with models as much as directing, and appreciate creative input and critiques. I am easy to work with, polite and respectful, interesting, innovative, reliable, hard working and highly professional. I am always interested in new, creative projects with other photographers and models. My work has appeared in fine art shows around the country.

Pricing:
I enjoy helping new models to create excellent images for their portfolio for trad on a selected basis- feel free to contact me to discuss a potential collaboration. There are also several fee scales available for a sitting and portfolio development. The sitting fee for a typical glamour/portfolio development shoot ranges from $100-600, but rates can vary if combined with trades for my work (TFP/TFCD). If we both have images we need then arrangements for reduced rates or a straight trade can be negotiated. Location shoots are determined on a case by case basis.
For models who are looking to develop a professional portfolio I have a reduced $100.00 package fee that includes:
-2 hours of photography
-on line proofing for making selections
-10 free images
Additional time is $75.00 an hour
A stylist is available for an additional fee
Digital image pricing depends on the editing time and ranges from $20-$250 per image
All images are provided by email as hi-res files (3-10MB) printing and lo-res (200kb)for use on the web.

Typical shoots:
The typical studio shoot will last 2-4 hours with 3-4 wardrobe changes and result in 200-400 high-resolution digital images. Portrait sessions usually last 1 to 1 1/2 hours, with 20-60 images.
Digital Editing:
I have advanced digital editing skills. Professional editing can turn even a weak photo into an beautiful image. Digital editing of a pre-determined number of images is included in the price of the shoot. High-resolution digital files will be provided, but prints are not included without an additional fee. Prints may be purchased at reasonable prices, or may be printed elsewhere. My printer is a professional quality HP roll that prints sizes up to 48 inches wide.
Please note:
A single chaperone/escort is welcome, provided that this is discussed in advance. We all need to feel comfortable. But directly witnessing the shoot will not usually be permitted without prior approval, unless they have the skills to provide assistance.
For references, please contact any model linked on my portfolio, or I can provide additional names.
