I like to work with the same models repeatedly, and I like to build a good relationship with them so we can test the boundaries.  Most of the models I work with do NOT come from MM, but I will consider working with those I know I can trust creatively and personally. 

I've been an actors headshot photographer since 1996.  If you need headshots and want to get into acting, I know that field backwards and forwards.  You can check my web page for pricing information. I offer discounts for returning clients and referrals, as well as deep discounts for those actors I feel might work well with my photography projects.

With new models, I have a standard working procedure.  The first shoot is a test TFCD with a signed model release and done on location. The second shoot is usually in the studio, TFCD with a signed model release.  Once we're past that stage, then I start paying the models I feel I work with best. Escorts are always welcome, as is the creative input of the models I work with.

On rare occasions I will pay an untested model who is able to turn on the juice and knows his or her stuff.  Ask any model I've worked with, and you'll find that I am more than generous with TFCD, and I'm fair with payment and post processing to fit your needs.  I do shoot for stock, but I always make sure my models get what they need first. It's been an incredible experience working with some of the young models starting out on MM and watch them develop into pros with a lot of class, style, and dignity.   

If you're new to modeling and want to develop your portfolio, I can also help you with that.  Depending on your look and goals, we can either follow the above mentioned process I go through with new models, or I'll lavish you with attention, care, and consideration to give you a knockout portfolio.  There is always a middle ground on pricing.  And, again, I am more than generous in what I give to my models. 

Naught Madison Studios is expanding into maternity and wedding photography, so if you've got anything like that coming up, drop me a line.  I also shoot home interiors, and have photographed homes as large as 30,000 sq. ft.  Corporate and business portraits is another area of expansion of Naught Madison Studios.  We are growing aggressively.

I'm a photographer, but I know that also means I have to be a businesswoman.  The only path to success in any business is to give the client or developing model more than they expect, and that's exactly what I do. 

BTW, if you want to get into Playboy, I'll shoot you nude and help you get there.  I don't do fetish, skank, or raunch.  I will also do nude maternity shots, and treat you and your body with all the respect you deserve.
