I am a photographer/artist. I have done editorial, portfolio, figurative, travel, and street photography. I was once in-house photographer for an agency. In recent years I have shifted away from photography towards digital art, and I am bridging photography and traditional media art in a neo-abstract-impressionist style.
I use my own photos in the process and I am using MM as a way to contact models. Compensation may be monetary, TF*, or some combination. For TF*, I will provide equal time to assist the model in portfolio development. Check out my Composites and Models albums for examples of my portfolio and other work.
My studio work is generally done in my home studio. My wife is at home for all shoots.
About friends
My friends list consists of people whose work I admire, have worked with, or hope to work with.
If you are a model and I contact you it means I love your look and would love to work with you on the right project. Please check my port and if you would not want to work with me, reject the request, I won't be offended. If I haven't contacted you with a specific project, it is because I don't have the right project yet.
If you are a photographer, it means that I admire at least some of your work and would be honoured to be a friend.
