I am an amateur photographer creating a personal portfolio composed of fine art nudes.

I generally offer TFCD plus a little cash for your expenses. We shoot for your portfolio in exchange for you shooting my projects (see below).

I am currently working on a "coffee table" photography book. I am very much interested in shooting different types of women, including groups of women. 

I appreciate all body types and ages.  I like tattoos and piercing when they help tell the viewer about the woman--if you like it enough to permanently change your body, I want to show how it looks.

I shoot nudes--tasteful nudes--artful nudes.

I'm willing to work with models with very little experience that are willing to take chances for a shot.  I really like the freshness that comes from new experience. What I really like is to create a moment for the model to reveal her inner self.  That moment is priceless.

My Projects (for my book): The idea is for a book with several chapters--each with one theme.  The theme will be developed or explored using several different models and points of view.  I am looking for models that are interested in the following themes:

FRUIT SALAD
Objective: To create a fruit salad incorporating real fruit with the models anatomy. Say a mound of strawberries between her breasts.

CHOCOLATE DRIP
To add to the possibilities from FRUIT SALAD, drizzle Chocolate syrup down the model's chest, dripping from her breasts onto her stomach & drizzling downwards.

PUZZLE (or Collage)
Objective-To create a Hockney-like single collage from multiple shots of one model. The model remains still while multiple close-up shots capture a portion of her body. The resulting images are combined in Photoshop. One pose is the nude statue Andromeda by Daniel Chester French.

Landscape with LIGHT (Indoor)
Objective-To capture a woman’s body in such an abstract way that it almost seems to be an abstract painting.
Inspiration-Classic art nudes.

REAL Landscape (Outdoor)
Objective-To capture a woman’s body in such a way that it almost seems to be part of the land.
Inspiration-Hills of northern California

SPOOF on BONDAGE
Objective-To capture one or more women CONFINED using duct tape or big rubber bands; strapped to wooden stakes with duct tape/rope; taped to the wall/floor. ALL IN A PLAYFUL MANNER. Maybe instead of a mouth plug, with a donut or apple in her mouth.

COUPLES (Doubles)
Objective-To capture two or more women together in interesting poses--also interested in adding men to the mix

EMERGENCE (or Wrapper)
Objective-To Show Women EMERGING from being Wrapped Up Inspiration-The Emergence of women into every area of modern life.

MULTIPLES (or Spinner)
Objective-To capture Women in motion using multiple exposure/multiple flash Inspiration-This needs a dancer's grace & fluid movement. I love the liquid feeling that comes from multiple exposures.

PACKAGE (Woman as a product)
Objective-To capture one or more women as a product or gift.Model is packed in a box ready for delivery. Or parts of her body are shown inside a small box or package.

DISSONANCE (What’s that doing there?)
Objective-To create an image with dissonance caused by something out of place.

VINTAGE (Kiss the Century Goodbye)
Objective-To Pay Homage to Classic Images of Women from the 20th Century.  Inspiration-Alfred Stieglitz 1919 Photographs of Georgia O'Keeffe.

One man show: Kiss the Century Goodbye, 1999, Ashland, OR
