[Shot in Malibu and downtown LA 2008]
I am a graduate of Columbia College Chicago and hold a BA in Film and Video Cinematography. Although my main focus is in motion picture and commercial film making, I focus all other efforts into my photography (the remaining 99% goes to my girlfriend! (MM# 204154) 'Ich Liebe Dich', Janina! )
Although I am only 24, I take my work very seriously and I like to think that being of a close age to many models helps me develop ideas well suited for them. I have invested thousands into professional grade cameras, lenses, and studio lighting and rigging... and I know how to use them!
From the hundreds of hours shooting films, taking over 100,000 pictures, and four years of intensive film and lighting courses, I am ready for whatever comes my way. I am told my light and fun attitude makes shooting with me a blast, so please contact me for more information. Males and females of all races and appearances are welcome! Nothing should prevent you from having professional grade images in your portfolio, and I can provide them! Contact me any time, I can't wait to shoot with you!

[[ ATTENTION: IF YOU BOOK A SHOOT WITH ME BE ON TIME! "NO CALL, NO SHOW" WILL NOT BE GIVEN SECOND CHANCES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE MY IMAGES TO BE ALTERED IN ANY WAY!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. -Wes ]]
Test shoots or "TFP, TFCD" (time for CD) are only available at my discretion and are limited. If you feel that you can offer me mind-blowing images for my port then I will most likely want to shoot with you, so please ask! I follow the basic terms for TFCD (2 images per look in hi res and web size WITH LOGO) If you would like to have the photo without my logo print files may be purchased for $20 each. Shooting with me is under the assumption that you have READ AND AGREE to these terms.
If I have friended you that is a good sign that I like what I see, so be nice and send me a message
Much Love!
-Wes Gathright
