Photography I'm interested in:
Very interested in creating some vintage noir, b-movie horror & cheesecake pinup, retro fetish imagery, steampunk, rock & roll band shots. 

Please Note: I do not do explicit nudes. I do not do erotica.  Requests for bookings on such projects will not be answered. I will do covered or implied nudes for artistic projects of my choosing and at my discretion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PLEASE READ:
I am always interested in expanding my portfolio and I love to work with as many talented artists as I can. However, there are many demands on my time and I must prioritize booking requests. TFP is extremely limited/selective at the moment due to such.  I am most intrigued by doing very creative and unique works and photographers with detailed and original photo concepts will get booking priority.

ALL shoots will be subject to the following conditions:
1)  I require a disc containing all images from TFP shoots, delivered within a reasonable time after the shoot. Film photographers must provide contact proofs.

2) I reserve the right to edit my work for ads for my merchandise shop and so on etc.

Rates for paid shoots vary with subject, proposed use, and any licensing rights which are to be shared. My rates are very reasonable and you will find me hardworking, punctual, and an active contributor to the creative process.  Currently $75/hr. ~ 2 hr. minimum

PLEASE NOTE: TFP or otherwise, travel costs must ALWAYS be compensated in all shoots by photographers unless otherwise specified by myself.
