Twystid Manipulationz

Hello.

I have just graduated Ramapo College of NJ Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Visual arts, and a concentration in photography.

Sadly, as I remain largely unemployed, I can't afford to pay my models unless I'm getting paid for the shots, but I'm quite willing to do TFCD otherwise.

So far, I've been working primarily with my friends, but I would love to work with anyone who feels comfortable. Nudity is no no way a neccesity, so don't feel pressured into it. I will work with you in sweatpants if that's what makes you comfortable. I love to capture the essence of my models in natural and urban decay environments as well as the studio. I've learned that some of the best shots I get are when my model is happy, and just doing his/her own thing with very little direction from me. Usually I'll throw out a few ideas to get started, but if you can roll with them, or bring your own ideas to the front, the photo will be that much more awesome.

Let it be known that I used to model, so I can understand and appreciate any concerns that you may have.



A Brief Background Concerning Myself and Cameras:
I have to blame my Dad for my obsession with photography. It was his case of magical lenses and the SLR that always went wherever he did that drew me in and once I figured out the magic of producing photos I couldn't help myself.

Since I was 7 years old, I've helped my Dad photograph weddings.

I had my first film SLR camera by age 12. I used to go with my Dad to the zoo (because I wanted to be an exotic animals vet as a child), and he'd let me use his telephoto image stabilizing lenses as well as my own and I'd come home pleased as anything that I had pictures that made it look like I was right next to Zebras and Rhinos.

By the age of fourteen I'd bought my first two lenses, and began to take my camera everywhere with me.

By sixteen I'd invested in a Fujifilm S5000 digital camera (the closest thing to a DSLR I could afford at the time), and digital photography began to become my preferance.

Two years ago I was finally able to afford a real DSLR and have since learned my way around color corrections in Photoshop, and am still in love.

I'm currently saving up to buy a medium/large format DSLR.

Recently, I got the opportunity to work with the talented and beautiful darling Miss Divinorae Elleven (MM#1030917). We had alot of fun shooting around Letchworth Village in Thiells, NY, a location so varied I have yet to get bored there.
