So Shoot Me!

I am still looking for nude models for images that will be modified for a "pixie" set. (See the dandelion example on my port.) 

I'm also specifically looking for models who want to do SuicideGirl-style sets. I am NOT an SG photographer, but I do like that style and am interested in shooting it. I also have an SG profile and am hoping that someday maybe I could submit sets. But, again, I am NOT endorsed by or associated with SG in any way.

I'm not sure when it became the norm to "forget" to properly credit the models, photographers, or make-up artists who helped create a photo.  But if you try to "Friend" me, when I check your portfolio and see the credits are missing, I will deny your request.

If you like the images you see in my portfolio, we might be able to shoot together.  Drop me a line and let's see. 

Direct contact: rick at SoShootMe at the dot com or (559) 233-8886.  Shootings by appointment only.  No shows will not get a second chance without a written excuse from your mortician.

I will work with anyone who is serious about building a solid portfolio.  I'm VERY open to collaborative efforts if you have ideas for something specific you want to try.

I like the photographs to be up-close and personal, to try to give an idea of what's going on inside the subject. 

By day, I'm a not-so-mild-mannered criminal defense attorney and can travel somewhat - particularly if someone is interested in having portfolio work done in interesting locations such as at the beach or in the mountains.  I also have studio equipment, including booms, softboxes, and studio flash units, and occasional access to a studio.

Two major ways to ensure I will NOT shoot with you.  1) If I check your port and you aren't properly crediting those who helped with your images.  (I will also deny Friend requests for this reason.)  2)  I really don't get the whole "set-up-a-shoot-then-cancel-at-the-last-minute-or-just-don't-show-up" thing. Models, would you want me to do that to YOU?  Please have some simple courtesy.  I promise to respond in kind. 

And, finally, if you are friending me, look at my portfolio. I tend to approve requests that look like there's a possible "fit" and not to friend those where there isn't.  Same with TFP shoots: if you ask for TFP, you'll have to be willing to allow me to shoot things that fit my portfolio, in addition to whatever you're after.
