Thank you for taking a moment to get to know a hint about me. I say a "hint" because I do not believe you can get to know me truly without actually meeting me. That being said, you can learn more about me through the photographs I take, but keep in mind that not all get uploaded. In fact, most are currently at my Facebook Fan Page:
http://www.facebook.com/RobertAshbyPhotography (make sure you visit it regularly as I will be uploading fairly regularly to that page)
My passion for photography dates back to around 1986 or so, when I used to work odd jobs to buy equipment and film during high school, where I developed some amazing shots. My passion for flying was greater back then and ultimately landed my a pilot position with a major airline flying internationally, which I still do (mostly Brazil).
A couple of years ago, after getting my first DSLR, friends of mine saw my work and highly encouraged me to share my talents, thus reigniting my passion for photography and now I am taking it to new levels. I take pride in my work and I constantly seek to be more creative and improve my talents and techniques, so my work will only get better from here.
As for the business, it is a business. That means I have expenses and "expansion" plans, not to mention expenses to train myself further. As such, I cannot simply shoot TF, just as I would not expect any of you to always shoot TF. I have developed a Model Success Program that should prove mutually beneficial. For more details, please visit my website and click on "Models" at the top of the page.
Models enrolled in one of my Model Success Programs have opportunities to "win" TF shoots each month, among other benefits. My goal is to help you succeed and I will do everything I can for models deciding to enroll. Beyond that, TF is limited to work which I feel will improve my port and/or is with models, MUAs, etc. that I deem exceptional.
My rates are reasonable and can be viewed on my website under "Models" as well. However, I highly recommend that you enroll in one of my Model Success Programs as they can save you money in the long run.
As for projects, I have many ideas that will be developed in the near future. I give preferences to models enrolled in my Model Success Programs, though for some projects I may have to go beyond them. I have no problem paying models, MUAs, or anyone else needed whenever I have a project that pays, or I feel a need to add to my port that I feel deserves paying someone. Casting Calls will be posted accordingly.
And for those who like to talk in other languages, I like to practice my Portuguese and Spanish, which I hold conversational levels in, but Portuguese "flowing" easier.
