About me
I check my email constantly and update my site regularly.  I'm not on Model Mayhem as much.  Please feel free to drop by my site www.DirkHooper.com or email me directly dirk@dirkhooper.com if you want the quickest response.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting my page.  Please take a moment and leave me a comment, they are deeply appreciated.

My name is Dirk Hooper.  I am a fetish and fantasy photographer, fine artist, graphic designer, entrepreneur, promoter and writer whose work has been described as 'forbidden tales to rival the likes of H.P. Lovecraft and the Marquis de Sade.'  My publishing credits include such diverse media as comic books, music CDs and slick fetish magazines like "Von Gutenberg". 

I have also cultivated a reputation as a fine artist in established venues like the prestigious Fred Jones Jr. Art Museum and as an underground visionary in galleries like the Electric Chair, the IAO Gallery, in Dallas, Detroit, Brussels, Belgium, Utrecht the Netherlands and Hong Kong. I have work in the permanent collection of the Kinsey Institute, based at Indiana University. 

I live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and always looking for new models.  Check out my model search page for more info:

www.dirkhooper.com/modelsearch.htm

I have recently opened a professional photography studio with photographer Robert Henry and makeup artist Jennifer Marks.  We specialize in just the sort of photos you see in my portfolio and we do model portfolios as well.  You can see more of what we offer below.

I am currently one of two exclusive photographers for the Toxic Goddess website (www.toxicgoddess.com), which allows me to explore my work with some of the best models in the alternative modeling business.  I am also the recruiter for Toxic Goddess if you're interested.

Please take a moment and "Tag" me below or comment on my photos, I'll be glad to return the favor!

Dream hard,
-Dirk Hooper

"Through the eye of Dirk Hooper's lens, we find a darkling realm. The ordinary becomes fantastic, the fathomable becomes mysterious, and the inner Goddess is revealed."

-Toxic Goddess Peregrine Dubh

"Working with Dirk is an awewsome experience all around. He gives his models an active role in the entire process, and goes out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable. Not only is he an extremely talented photographer, but a great guy in general. There is no one I would rather work with."
