***In NY till Oct 28***
Will be in Hawaii for all of December. If you need portfolio development email me: info@tommyshihphoto.com with subject - Portfolio Development
Check out my new site redesign:
www.tommyshihphoto.com. New work will be posted there, nothing new here for now....
I'm a photographer based in Los Angeles, though I grew up in Hawaii. I think my upbringing brings a openness and vulnerability to my work. I like to create a connection with the subject.
No TFP/CD
I do test and do personal work. I am very selective with who I cast and almost always go through agencies. Send me a message to let me know you exist with an email and phone number and I'll contact you when I have a project. I'll give preference to agency models. Please provide me with the agency and a contact there.

I don't guarantee that you'll get such and such number of images from the shoot because sometimes test shoots are awesome, sometimes they are...not as awesome. If you are a hair/make up/wardrobe stylist with an idea let's talk.
Tests will only be in the following genre's: beauty and fashion/lifestyle. Not everyone qualifies for everything, and knowing the requirements for these markets is important if you want to find your place within them.
