Shoots - I like to have fun at my shoots. I like to talk, joke around, listen to loud music and be a smart-ass!! I do what's needed to get the image I want, but I wanna have fun doing it. Models
must have a sense of humor and like dogs!
I am definitely not politically correct...
Friend Requests - Please do not send me a f/r. I'm not here to see how many "friends" I can rack-up. That mentality belongs on My Space & Facebook. The models I have as friends are those I have actually worked with, or are scheduled to work with.
TFP - Is all I do. My policy is that the model will receive a minimum of two edited images per look / setting / outfit. But it's usually way more than that! The images are usually posted on my Flickr page the same day as the shoot (unless I'm traveling).
I do not give out
all images from a shoot, nor do I give out any
unedited images. Models are free to stop by and review any images from their shoot.

(ALSO - I am not one of those photographers who uses a model's image in his portfolio and then doesn't credit the model! Every image I use - I credit the model. I feel anything less reflects poorly on the photographer. IMHO....)
Communication - Very important! When I schedule a shoot with someone, I provide my cell number. Don't schedule a shoot if you're not going to show up. And please do not cancel a shoot the day before, or the same day!! (Yea, it's happened). I keep track of no-shows and late cancellations, and I will - and do - share this information with other photographers.
No show/no call = no shoot / no reschedule / lifetime shitlist membership.
If I send you a message about a shoot, and you choose not to respond for a week or month - forget it - the moment has passed!!
If we are in the middle of discussing or scheduling a shoot - and you choose not to reply for a week (or more) then please consider the offer expired!
Please try to refrain from texting me!! I do not pay for cell phone service so I can get text messages!! It's much easier - and takes far less effort - to just call. (What a concept!!)...
Escorts - Escorts are fine with me. However, for studio work, they will be watching from the adjoining room. No escorts will be in the "shoot" room during a shoot. (With the exception of parents, if the model is under 18). Escorts are welcome to assist models with outfit changes, hair, make-up, etc. But when the model gets in front of the camera, the escort returns to the adjoining room.
Whether we're doing a studio shoot or on location somewhere, if your escort feels the need to "hover", the shoot is over.
I have a complete home studio where I shoot, or any location. For references feel free to contact any of the models on my friends list.
And if we are discussing a shoot, please do not give me a link to your My Space page when you have it set to private.
Retouchers / PS Wizards - Please do not tag me or message me with your rates or tell me how wonderful my images look!! I am not interested in anyone else editing
my images. Thanks....
I
especially love air shows and car shows, and will travel anywhere I can to shoot them. If you live close to one that I'm planning to shoot, let me know...
