My sincere thanks to rSEANd for his including me in his fabulous blog on models and photographers. He created an incredible set of questions that I answered and he in turn created an opening and selected images from my portfolio to accent the various questions and answers. It is a truly stunning blog, and I am honored that he included me in his site. The direct link to my interview is
http://rseand.blogspot.com/2009/07/pop- … 922af120f6 . Please take a look and provide comments to rSEANd, he is incredibly talented both as a photographer, but also in creating his blog and populating it with very cool concept.
I have had numerous images selected as spot light images on several web sites dedicated to models and photographers. In addition I have multiple images selected for the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival over the last 7 years.
My work with models encompasses the range from fashion, casual, swim wear, lingerie, glamour, boudoir, artistic nude, fine art nude and erotic nude. I have worked with both male and female models as well as couples.
I am always interested in discussing commissions for private work, as well as working with new models looking to build or add to their portfolio. Commissions and portfolio work for single individuals, couples, or groups are all welcome, all sexual orientations are always welcome, and you will find no discrimination here.
I am entirely self taught and I continue to learn new techniques and explore new concepts all the time. I am a strong believer in learning from others and as a result I constantly look at other photographs to try and determine how an image was made, how was the lighting achieved, how was the background achieved, in order to continue to expand my own knowledge and skills. The transition to Digital also resulted in a crash course of learning Photoshop, an amazing but exceedingly complex program that allows such unique things as taking an image originally shot in color and changing it to a duo-toned black and white. This makes it possible for me to decide based on the way an image speaks to me if the image will be in black and white, color, or something in between.
My work can be seen at the following web sites, and I can be reached via the email address listed below. I have two personal web sites one dedicated to nude work (
http://www.LewisartandPhoto.com) and one dedicated to PG13 images (
http://www.DaveLewisPhotography.com) which encompasses everything from landscapes and travel to event and private weddings images for the wedding party only to view. In addition you can see more of my work with models at either of the two model related sites listed below.

My muse and my friend is Charlie Kristine (Mayhem #169262), an amazing, fabulous model who is a chameleon, she can change her look, her demeanor, everything right in front of your eyes. The amazing thing is you can be chatting between shots and she is this animated, vivacious gorgeous person, yet the instant the camera comes up to eye level she instantly becomes the fabulous, sophisticated, all business model, and again as soon as the camera drops she is back to being her vivacious fun, engaging self. I cannot recommend her highly enough, an amazing model, just treat her right, with respect, and you will get absolutely amazing images with her. My sincere thanks to her for her talent and challenging me to always step up my game anytime we work together. She makes me not only a better photographer, but makes me want to be an even better photographer and person. Thanks sweetie for your friendship and support.
