******************************************************

It is said variety is the spice of life. If that is so someone bring on the cayenne pepper, the garlic and paprika. On the edge photos are always welcome, I like to shoot most anything, and if there is edge to it even better. My photos try to capture the essence of someone, and I also like the "unexpected" photo.

Everyone has that one special pose, one special angle that when captured makes the person looking at the photo wander into a different world for the moment. This can be a posed or unposed pose.

Models I have had a blast with here in Arizona, and these are in no particular order...each brings an excellent attitude to the shoot.

I don't mind TFP/TFCD, let me know your thoughts and needs. I am also looking for a stylist as well as a MUA to form a partnership with . This is to both help enhance my photos as well as build your portfolio, so if you have interest please contact me.

I have also produced, directed and hosted several television programs. I have great interest in video production, video podcasting as well as independent movies. There are a number of projects that I am working they are listed below.

A few things if you pose for my camera:

1st: We should meet prior to scheduling a shoot. This will allow a little time to think of ideas for your look and personality.

2nd: Escorts are welcome; however, boyfriends/girlfriends are encouraged not to escort due to emotional conflicts, which may arise due to the nature of the shoot. I am going to work with "you," not with them. You need to concentrate on us, not them smiling at you.

3rd: If you are a minor, I have to communicate with your parents, and one of them needs to be in attendance at the shoot.

4th: If in fact travel is involved and I do not know the area, you are responsible for finding a place to shoot. I will need specific directions so that I can map it and be able to visit beforehand. If there are any restrictions in the area you need to advise of them. (Have to be out by 8pm, limited access, etc.)

5th: Makeup and wardrobe is your responsibility. A makeup artist is strongly encouraged. If you are capable of taking care of your own hair and makeup, that is fine as well.

6th: For TFCD work, I do not promise a set number of images. That doesn't mean you will not get any images; if we have great images, WE will sit down and discuss them and jointly decide which are the best images that portray both our work in the best light. I would only want the best of my work out there as should you.

7th: I will give all agreed-upon images to you on a CD within 1 week. Please allow additional time for edited pictures. It is to BOTH of our interests to have these images out there.

8th: Please be comfortable with yourself. A relaxed model produces better pictures. Also don't be shy about suggesting things during the shoot. Variety of ideas is always welcome.

9th: Be on time! Extend the same professionalism you would expect in return on our meeting or shooting day. If you cannot make it, let me know asap...you will have a phone number for me as well as email.

10th: Have fun with it! It may be a lot of work, but if you cannot have fun at a shoot then its not being done right



TRAVEL NOTICES:

Going to San Diego, Los Angeles or Las Vegas is possible, but shoots need to be scheduled, and I may require some type of deposit as if I say I will be there, I will be there... and I cannot show and learn after a 6+ hour drive there is no model in sight. Sorry, but a few bad trusting appointments gone "no show" have forced me into this position.
