Flag counter since May 2011
Out-of-town(and local) models are wanted. If you are a model who is passing by San Francisco/Bay Area(i.e Oakland, San Jose, etc.) and are looking for modeling work during your stay, please feel free to contact me. Let's talk(by phone). I always like to meet models from different parts of the US and the world.
I want to welcome you to my Model Mayhem portfolio. My name is Harry Chow, I am a San Francisco, CA photographer. Photography has been a passion of mine since 2000. I have taken various photography classes/workshops and enjoyed every moment of it. I am always striving to improve on my photography. I like to work with "like-minded" people(i.e. photographers and models) in order to learn and grow as a photographer. For 2011, I am looking even more forward to making some great images.
Type of photographic genres that I am looking to do for 2012: headshots, candids, casual, fashion, business, and athletic attires. I am also interested in doing night shots.
TFP/CD. For 2012, I am looking to work with models who are interested in "partnering up" to make images. I like to especially to work with models who are new/beginners. Hey, all of us were beginners at one time. TFP/CD are very beneficial for both the models and photographers. It is the best way to get great images for our respective portfolios and for the model's to be comfortable in front of the camera.
On occasion I do hire models for pay. Pay is base on the experience of the model. I do require a pre-photo shoot meeting either by phone or meeting for coffee(i.e. Starbucks). If you cannot do one of these requirements, please do not contact me looking for paid work. Preparation is very important in doing any photo shoot. There is NO SUBSTITUTION.
Requirements(both TFP/CD and paid assignments). 1) I only work with models that are at least
18 years of age or over, 2) any models that I work with must provide a valid picture ID (i.e. driver's license, passport, or military ID) before any photo shoot, 3) willing to sign a model release, and 4) provide a contact phone number (cell#). Sometimes it is a lot easier to speak by phone as oppose to exchanging emails between each other. I only call if it is important (i.e. running late, canceling the photo shoot).
Please note: I do not pay for models transportation cost(i.e. airfare, bus, train, gas, etc.) in order to do photo shoots. If you are in SF or the surrounding area working with other photographers and are looking for more modeling work, please feel free and let me know.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read this profile and viewing my portfolio. There is so much that I want to say, but I will save it for another time. I will do my best to update my portfolio and profile when time allows. I encourage all viewers to please take a look at my MM portfolio and to post comments as well.
Peace,
Harry
