***NO TFP/TFCD WHATSOEVER***
ONLY VERY LIMITED AND SELECTIVE TESTING
WITH TALENTED AND EXCEPTIONAL MODELS
ONLY 5'8" AND UP.

IF YOU ARE 5'6"-5'7".  YOUR LOOK

CREATIVE CONCEPTS
VERY SELECTIVE ON THE BEAUTY SUBJECT.

YES, HIGH END FASHION AND FASHION.

*** DO PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THAT BEING TALL AND
BEAUTIFUL, DOESN'T MAKE YOU COMPLETELY A MODEL.
THOSE 2 ARE IMPORTANT FEATURES BUT THERE ARE
MORE FEATURES INVOLVED TOO***


"When you've to employ more time Photoshopping...
than taking the real picture, you as a Photographer
waste your valuable time.
A Photographer might wanna employ time for a creative
process...but that process should never be wasted...
on creating a totally new person with Photoshop...
that look totally different in person.
That kind of work for sure, only deceives the person
and to whomever wants to work with this one."
JCP

*WILL WORK ONLY WITH THOSE ONES WHO HAVE
GOOD POTENTIAL AND ARE SERIOUS.  I DON'T HAVE
TIME FOR WANNABES, UNRELIABLE ONES, AND THOSE
WHO CALL THEMSELVES MODELS AND DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO POSE, HOW TO EXPRESS IN CAMERA, AND ARE
ON THIS SITE ONLY TO WASTE PROFESSIONALS' TIME*

WHEN MORE THAN 50 % OF YOUR IMAGES HAD TO BE
RETOUCHED, IT'S WHEN YOU HAVE TO START THINKING
OF LIVE AND LET DIE.  EXTERNAL YOUTH DOES NOT
LAST FOREVER, AND YOU'RE ONLY A CLOWN ON THIS SHOW.

***I DO NOT SHOOT BOOTY OR ALIKE STYLE CRAP***
GLAMOUR IS NOT BOOTY - BOOTY IS JUST TRASH

***ALL MODELS REQUIRE TO BRING THEIR OWN
WARDROBE.  NO WARDROBE, NO SHOOT***
(EXCEPT IF YOU BRING A WARDROBE STYLIST
OR IF I PROVIDE THE WARDROBE OR IF I PROVIDE
A WARDROBE STYLIST)

***A PREVIOUS MEETING IS NEEDED
TO MAKE SURE YOU LOOK LIKE ON YOUR PICTURES,
AND YOU'RE RELIABLE AND PROFESSIONAL
(NOT APPLICABLE IF WORKED WITH A

AND HELP THEM DEVELOP THEIR PRO-PORTFOLIO
IF YOU'VE A MODEL WITH A STUNNING LOOK,
LET'S DISCUSS A COLLABORATION PROJECT.

ALSO, I'M OPEN TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL,

DUE TO SEVERAL COUNTED & DOCUMENTED ISSUES
WITH SOME UNPROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

My name is Giorgio Pasciolla and I'm originally from Bari, Italy.  I've been involved in Photography for more than 20 years, and have worked for Model Agencies located in Europe and South America during several years since 1990.  I’ve worked with diverse kind of people, from unknown ones to famous ones.  I don’t need to say that I’m an award winning blah blah or brag (certainly I dislike very much that) because I’m a very modest professional and you can judge my skills through my work done over the years.  I'm proud to say that I've done the makeup and hair for most of my models I've worked with and that you can see on my portfolio.  Got a project in mind?  Let me know, I have no limits and I'm always willing to make it happen no matter what.
I work and have worked a lot with film, medium format cameras and digital ones.  Hence the difference in the output as you can see in my port.  If you are a photographer or learner and you don't get it, I can sit down with you and do a real life test smile
I love to be criticized and I’m very straightforward and impartial when doing it also.
As a Photographer, I have no limits when taking pictures and I’ve done and do photo work on these areas:
•    Action
•    Advertising
•    Architectural
•    Commercial
•    Editorial
•    Fashion
•    Glamour
•    Landscape
•    Nudes
•    Pets
•    Runway
•    Sports
•    Weddings
•    Etc.

I shoot pretty, creative, edgy, sensual, elegant, and colorful stuff.  I love lighting, and like to experiment with different techniques.

Again, limit yourself and you won’t be able to enjoy the diversity of all worlds.  To those who just got stuck into one area, I invite them to rediscover the left behind areas.  Everything is important on this life, not just one.  The more you learn the more independent and free you can be.  Remember:  Mediocrity is excellent to the eyes of mediocre people.

I've seen many Photographers that only shoot with natural light....is that good??? NO.   Why???  They limit themselves.  Lighting in Photography is part of the creative game.  If you don't know how to use any kind of lighting equipment indoors and outdoors and you are only in your "natural comfort zone", you're MEDIOCRE hence YOU'RE NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER 100%
Diversity of tastes is what lead you to challenge and conquer this photographic world.

Model Mayhem is about MODELS.  On my portfolio you will only see nothing else but models.  I consider that if you are a landscape/wildlife/architectural/etc photographer it's fine if you showcase your work with models in your pictures, otherwise I think it's not appropriate to post such kind of pics that have nothing to do with the modeling.  That's why if you wanna see the rest of my work, just visit my website and take a tour.

On my website gallery you will be able to see more in detail all my work through all these years.  However, here you will be able to see just a glance of my work.


During my life, I've always been involved in different fields besides Photography.  I speak Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.  I'm a certified Network Engineer, a Systems Analyst, a Web Designer, a Make-Up Artist, a Hairstylist, a Stained Glass Artist, a Tango Dance Instructor, and a Culinary Arts Specialist (if you think is too much, gotta start yourself being less lazy and more active).  Also, I'm a singer/song-writer, a voice-impressionist, a musician who plays almost all kinds of music styles, a poet and a handcraft artist.  Sounds funny but I've been very busy on these years, spending my life studying and working; enjoying of the positive and good side of what is called, LIFE.


I work with state-of-the-art equipment such as several DSLRs cameras from Nikon, Fujifilm; and also Medium Format as Rolleiflex and Carl-Zeiss lenses.  I also use the latest technology on software and hardware when processing your pictures.

Here are most of the lighting brands I trust for my work:



****************************************************************************************************

BASIC POLICIES

I don’t do drugs, smoke, drunk and neither supports those who do.  My studio and environment is proudly “vices” free and if you want to work with me, please be respectful and professional.

Booking:
Before any session, I require to have a phone call and setup a meeting to discuss your project.  I by no means schedule people by e-mail only.  This is just only to prevent that any possible “ghost” or “fake” customer would waste my time.  In case you live in another state, I would waive the meeting with a phone conference.  Remember to provide real contact information.  Scammers will be traced and reported to the police.

Escorts:
If you are a minor, please be aware to bring an adult (parent/guardian) with an ID for your own peace of mind.
If you are an adult, feel free to bring someone else though is not required.  In case you bring someone, that person must not disturb the session and will not be able to enter or interact with the studio facility under any reason or whatsoever; because any broken or damaged equipment will be charged upon you. The sitting area is always ready for guests.  Any intention of disrupting the session will cause the immediate cancellation of the photo session.  And remember to bring your best smile and mood instead of drama.  I’m a good listener and can be a good psychotherapist but that would imply a fee smile

Cellular phones:
Please be aware to turn off your cellular phone when working with me.  When you are booked, imagine you are going to work, yes, to your workplace.  So, I won’t tolerate any kind of interruptions when shooting.  We’ll have several break times and you will be able to turn your cell phone during that break.
It is not polite to interrupt a session, so, don’t leave your cell phone on when working with me.  It’s a very bad manner and if we have interruptions, our session will be terminated no excuses whatsoever.

Cancellations:
If by any chance you cannot make it for any reason, please call me or e-mail me within 48 hours.
If you are scheduled to work with me, and you don’t call to cancel the session, and don’t show up, you won’t be considered for any possible re-schedule.  I can understand any problem and we can always work towards rescheduling. But again, if you are not serious and you just don’t care, I won’t care too.  So please, don’t waste your time and my time and be responsible.  Very simple, just call in advance to re-schedule your shooting.

Model signature release:
Before working with me, please be aware of getting a model release form thru my website or requesting it to me by e-mail.  Failing to bring this release form already signed, will just cause delay on our session.  So, please bring your signed model release form when scheduled.  You will receive a signed copy by me by US mail included with your CD.

I'M OPEN TO COLLABORATE AS A TEAM MATE TFCD WITH OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCED MUA'S, HAIRSTYLISTS AND WARDROBE STYLISTS.


My rates are VERY REASONABLE and will always work closely with you till get the image you want and make you feel happy and satisfied about the output.
If you want to be a MAXIM, PLAYBOY, etc...doll, I can convert you in one, taking the best pic of you and also applying the needed Photoshop techniques if required (No one is perfect!).
However, those images will have a special watermark indicating if some extra manipulation was required.   I'm not here to bullshit another colleagues.
But once again, do not insist on working with me for free.  I’m not in the need to increment quantity in my portfolio but quality.  I’m a serious professional and can’t be working for free for everybody like if I were an old philanthropist who has nothing else to do.  Don’t take it for granted, there are tons of amateur togs out there who might be willing to work for free with you, so you are free to decide and chose who and what you like.  I’m a very passionate professional who works very hard with state-of-the-art equipment and software to get the best of you and that doesn’t include my time and skills but a list of expenses I can enumerate in a detailed manner.  I can also provide wardrobe and several props when needed.

Pictures delivery:
Pictures will be delivered in a reasonable timely manner.  Normally between 1-2 weeks after the session.  If lucky, you can get your pictures on the same day, overnight, or next day.  These always depend on the length of the session and the quantity of the pics.
In order to deliver your pictures, there are several ways to handle this.
•    I can send you your CD with your pictures by US mail.
•    I can upload all your pictures in a file over a free storage server where you will be able to download your pictures.
•    I can upload all your pictures in one of my virtual galleries and you can then download your pictures using a password that will be provided to you

Feel free to choose the method works best for you.



***************************************************************************************************


What will you expect when working with me?

1)    Professionalism
2)    Friendly fun environment
3)    Quality


As a Photographer and Haute-Couture lover, I've always loved to help Models to succeed.  I'm very professional at my work and expect the same from you.  My rates are very reasonable though .
If you feel you want to give the Modeling World a try, you are serious about it, and you think you got what it takes, contact me and let's talk!  Again, it's my pleasure to share all my knowledge and skills learned through my years of experience at International Model Agencies, with new and aspiring Models.

My services are just somewhat different from most photographers because I will take care of your makeup, and hairstyle too if required.  I always work closely with my models till get the best output before shooting.  There is nothing better than supervise the minimum details before and during a session.

FREE Modeling Workshops:
As part of my good willing to help all new models, I offer guidance and instruction on modeling.  You can go wherever institute you want and get this instruction in a slow paced way.  However, you will have to pay and it will take a while for you to learn the juicy secrets.  That’s why after years working on model agencies on several countries, I offer for free several classes for those who want to know what this whole thing about modeling is about.  Your success is my goal.

Last but not least, these are just the basics about me and my work.  I will be looking forward to hear from you and your projects.  I always work hard towards the creation of better and higher quality images.  Rest peacefully because working with me, will be a unique experience for you.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to add your comments!

Kindest regards,

Giorgio Pasciolla




What GWCs deserve???

This.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRyDcB7qQFo
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8DHO7XFVkI
just for giving the profession and the camera a bad name!!!
FYI: PERVERTS HAVE NO CURE AND SHOULD NOT DESERVE
TO LIVE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL PLANET smile


Famous GWC Quotes:

"Nothing sexy or implied?  Hmm.....  She'll never make it.....  She's average so her only shot is sexy and implied.  She's not beautiful enough to pull off beauty and fashion."KH
Who the hell said that to succeed on the industry you gotta get naked???   Ughhhhhhhhhhhh guys, why don't just buy or download a XXX???

"Post processing???  WTF is that???  My pics are good straight out of the camera.  BTW, I shoot in automatic white balance" NJ "The Tungstenman"
(And most of the pics look obviously ORANGE)

"You are gorgeous....if I can help you in anyway please contact me...I would love to do a tfcd shoot with you"  (Too many to name)
Let's take some shots, I'm still learning since 1960.  You're not a model and I'm not a Photographer; I'm a pervert smile  I just wanna see you naked deal?  At the end you get a CD with pictures that will look like shit haha

"OMG, this is a Masterpiece I just created, she has beautiful eyes now, this image ROCKS!!!" (The AC Redneck Freak)
Are you sure? Then let me ask you something.   Why this girl who has hazel eyes, her eyes are now look blue?  OMG, the skin looks like a barbie doll!!!  WTF you did to the makeup??? 
(Instant answer: Well you know what? The makeup looked much better on this color OK?, the MUA did not nail it.....but thanks for the tip buddy, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!)
You'll be forever an amateur regardless, and you should
get a job, and eyeglasses, scumbag  

"I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and have over (insert any number here) year"  (More than one author)
That doesn't mean anything if your pictures suck and look like a 5 year old kid stole a camera and started shooting last week.
The PPA should be really embarrassed with people like these.
What a bad joke!!!

"Hello, I am a fine art nude photographer (put some bullshit here to fill and end)" (Too many guys with the same kind of "About me") 
Uhuh, so, if you are an Art Nude Photographer...why does your portfolio looks like you shot only girls naked in cheap motels with the same kind of light and they're all showing boobs or spreads???  You're very smart to deceive fools but you're nothing but a GWC   Art Nude Photography is more than shooting boobs and butts, but you don't even know what it's ART

"I like giving my images a natural look, I don't like when images get done over too much" P&P
Be honest, you don't know how to correct the color, brightness and tone in Photoshop or Corel, etc.  And you're a freaking lazy bum haha

"I have  been shooting for professionally for over (INSERT THE NUMBER OF YEARS YOU WANT HERE) years."....WOW(Too many to name with the same bullshit) 
Oh so over 20 years???  And when you're asked what is a beauty dish and or how that works you've no damn clue LOL Keep up with the bullshit, many girls on this website have no clue either that you've lied so much smile Go and take some retouching classes at least please!!!

MY PRO DREAM TEAM

I highly recommend to work with these talented artists if you want to take your portfolio to a top level:



Only these people I consider them extremely good in what they do.  Not only super talented people, but
extremely kind, reliable, very humble, professional and simply amazing people to work with.

If you wanna be part of my dream team, you must not only be good but be a good person in all the ways too
...a good human being overall.

There are many talented people on this website but
unfortunately within those talented, many are arrogant,
self-conceited, divas, stupid, cocky, racists, brain-washers,
psychos, scumbags with double personality issues & baggage,
SOBs, bitches, liars, cheaters, pricks, egocentrics,
and think their shit doesn't stink...
I don't need people like that.
I need to be surrounded with quality, serious, and professional
people that work towards the same goal, to get unique, HQ,
solid work done.

I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR EXCELLENCE & PROFESSIONALISM
YOU FAIL ME ONCE, I'M DONE WITH YOU FOREVER.
