I may share a similar path with many photographers here at MM: Driven by passion, a creative hobby becomes professional competence, which landed some awards in competitions organized by or in part by Nikon Digital Imaging, Japan; Seitz Phototechnik AG, Switzerland; and Professional Photographers Asso, USA, plus some published photos in the past years.
GOAL: Attempt to achieve emotionally charged beauty shots. While I don't always reach that goal, I try to avoid shooting just another face another body --- that pretty much intrinsically sets the limit to TFCD shoots. (Okay, plainly put, I do very little TFP...)
Having said that, yes, I do model development, and I was trained for that too. If you are a new model and interested in expanding your portfolio or compcards, please shoot me an email message.
Thanks for stopping by... I hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much I did making them. -- Ray

Hey neighbor! I'm a HUGE fan of your work, and to think that so much of it takes place right here in Sterling just blows my mind. I would love to get together with you and swap some knowledge and maybe shoot together. Very inspirational, you are!
