Hey! Welcome to my page. Quick run down about me, my name is Michael Schoelen (Mike is fine). I am an air traffic controller during the day, I am married, no kids, and I live in the Santa Clarita Area.

I am new to the model / fashion photography, however we all know that doesn't mean we can't learn how to become great, and someday I would like to be. I have been shooting for about 1.5-2 years. Prior to my interest in shooting models I was big into the following photography: import cars, surfings, travel. Once I took it upon myself to learn about flash photography, I was instantly hooked.

As mentioned I have a regular day job, which is why I don't have unlimited availability, but I am willing to shoot when I am not at work. When I first meet you I may seem a little shy, but as I talk to you a little more I will get over it. Check out my portfolio and if you like any of my previous work contact me and we can set something up. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

My TF Conditions:
Unless otherwise specified expect the following from a TF shoot:
I like to shoot for about 2 hours. I do have to warm up for a shoot, usually the first 15 minutes of shooting is my warmup time. Once we are done with the shoot, we can either go over the images at the shoot and mutually agree which are the best shots of the shoot, or you can leave that up to me. I will then edit the 2 best images from the shoot. (maybe 3 in special circumstances) You will receive 2 different sizes of each image:
1. web-sized image with my watermark which is to be used for any online portfolios/galleries
2. Print size image which will be 2000 pixels on the long side in tiff format. This is good for at least 8x10" size print. This will not have a watermark and it has been made for printing.
I am willing to edit additional images for a small fee. Expect the final edited images to be available to you within 1 week of the shoot.

Escorts
Please feel free to bring an escort, if my wife were a model, I wouldn't want her meeting someone for the first time alone (public place, or not). Hopefully you bring someone who doesn't mind helping with the shoot. The only thing I ask is that you don't bring the following people as an escort: boyfriends, brothers, fathers, people of that nature.
