*Currently on a MUCH NEEDED personal and artistic hiatus for may/june 2009. thx!
PLEASE NOTE: I am unable to take any tf* requests for shoots at this time. I am swamped with travel, sewing commitments, and personal projects.
Discounted port development shoots are always available for a very reasonable rate.
I am also open to shooting artsy/creative one look concepts for a teeny sitting fee (especially if tempted with interesting ideas/locations/wardrobe/props, etc)
TF* for tears and for full team shoots are usually swing-able
Currently booked until late June '09.
*********************************************************
A bit about me and how I work:
I love history, travel, abandoned buildings, and art. My photos are very much "fine art" in nature. I am not a technical photog, I pretty much do everything "wrong". I attended art school as a painter and just picked up this medium by accident around 5 years ago. I dislike working in typical studio setups/solid backgrounds/static settings and with artificial light. I prefer rich visual environments and sunlight. I typically do not shoot indoors with artificial lights: I don't like them, I don't own them, I don't have the patience to fiddle with them and I'm too small to carry and hop fences with them on my back 
. I do not shoot at my abandoned locations with permission so tresspass is often required...This greatly influences how I shoot, where I shoot, when i shoot and what I shoot. You have been warned
Please Note:
*any shoots done on a TRADE basis are fine art in nature and generate 1-3 images TOTAL.
*Paid Port Development shoots generate 5-7 retouched images per look
