What drives you? I want the shot no one else got.
I have been shooting for almost 20 years. I have a true love for the art of photography. I love to capture emotion, personality, spontaneity. I want the cover of Life. I don't just shoot models; that's only what you see here.
My model shots have always leaned towards pin-up; it feels natural to me. My tastes are more toward the lighter side of fetish - i.e. hosiery, heels, garters, corsets, etc. My best shots are with girls who don't have any hangups about nudity, implied or otherwise. They are less concerned about whether their 'naughty bits' are showing, and more concerned about facial expression, pose, attitude, etc. (Oh and fyi, for me pin-up is about the tease - what you almost saw.)
I am influenced by masters of pinup art and photography but I am not trying to directly imitate their works. I am trying to bring the nostalgic pinup feel back in new works.
Is that all you're willing to shoot? No, my interests are varied, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Themed shoots like characters and staged situations will also be filtering into my port as the pieces fall together.
Scheduling preference given to paid shoots.
If I private message you, assume it will be a 'Trade' shoot unless I specify otherwise. I approach very few models for trade. Consider it a compliment. It was probably something about your face or personality that I want in my port. In most cases, I will burn a proof CD before you leave.
Leave your escort at home (Well, they can come with you and meet me, but leave for the shoot.)
Hint: I prefer friend requests when they are accompanied by an email, tag or photo comment. I also tend to let tags remain on this profile that talk about our shoot or comments on my port.
