I would like to reach out to my fellow photographers and offer my help and expertise. This would be a way for me to give back to the wonderful world of photography. I work at a national printing company in the US and do large format printing. If you would ever like your work printed for galleries or for personal use shoot me a message and we can talk. Our photographic printers are 49" wide by however long you want to go. Think of the possibilities. Contact me.
I require a model release to be signed at every shoot.

NEW PROJECT IN THE WORKS:
UNIQUE: ONE OF A KIND
This series will be an in depth view of the female breast. No faces will be used. Just what you were blessed with. Macro will be one of the main forms.
This project will need bare breasts so yes exposed on top.
This project is for a book. In this book I can give you a credit but do not have to come out and say which one you are if you are uncomfortable. There will be no indication to anyone that it will be you unless you have a marking that someone would recognized. It's going to be super fun and totally tasteful. Each model will have a little blurp about what they think about their breasts.
For this project to be successful, I will need all shapes, sizes, and ages (legal of course). Everyone is unique. I am hoping to get well over 200 models for this project so if you know anyone that might be interested please tell them about it.
I am a starving artist. I can offer a credit in the book or we can trade time for time. We are going to donate to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help breast cancer awareness. This is a passionate project of ours due to a family member having breast cancer.
There will be a model release.
If you received this and do not wish to do topless I apologize and hopefully we will be able to find a project in the future.
I would like to start things off by saying thank you for viewing my page.
MY MISSION:
To help the small town model become a big time star. Maybe that's a little far fetched and unrealistic but it's my goal to help a new model make a name for themselves. Call me optimistic but I think it's possible and I've worked with some fabulous models that could definitely make it all the way.
I ALWAYS WORK WITH AN ASSISTANT
I've been really into photography for over 6 years now.
I just recently moved to Indianapolis so I'm still in the process of finding a studio to get back on my feet. If you are interested in doing a shoot please let me know and we can try to set something up. TFP is on very select basis. If you are interested in my services please contact for rates.
I will also do photo retouches for photographers if needed. If you're interested please feel free to contact me about it.
Help me grow to become a better photographer/designer and leave me some feedback.
Thanks for viewing my profile.
ATTENTION!! EVERYONE READ THIS: I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT APPROVE ANY BLIND FRIEND REQUESTS - I mean come on at least give me some reason to approve you. Write me a Tag - a Comment - or send me a Message. That's a good way to start a friendship - don't you think? If you don't agree..DON'T I repeat DON'T even bother sending me a friend request here. Thanks.
I've recently published 3 books of my photography. Two are modeling books and the third is a book on my nature shots. If by some chance you might be interested in picking up a copy of my book send me a message and I'll direct you.

A few good words from a great photographer. They are great so pay attention (Sun Gallery Photography #357911):
Aspiring models are always asking me for advice on how to get into the industry without getting burned. I’ve taken the time to compile a list of essentials that I feel every new model should consider before he or she attempts to move into this line of work.
I would like to encourage models and photographers alike to make amendments to what I have started below.
Rule 1: Never travel alone.
Always have someone with you when you go on a shoot. Having a friend along is important for your safety. Friends can also help to elicit positive emotions that will help you to have fun, be yourself, and feel comfortable on a shoot. Happy model: better images.
Rule 2: Be very selective in who you choose to work with.
There are a lot of hacks out there who are just looking to get young girls out of their clothing. This DOES NOT help your modeling career. Maintain your integrity. You’ll be thankful down the road.
Rule 3: Be Positive
Obviously, it’s important to bring a good attitude to every shoot. Be courteous. Be friendly. Ask if there is anything you can do to help. You’ll be amazing at how much this will improve your report, and your reputation, with people in the industry.
Rule 4: Be prepared. Here are a list of things you should always take to a shoot.
A Friend
Cell Phone (as if we ever leave home without it)
Comfortable walking shoes
Bottled Water
A Friend
Small Mirror
Touch up Makeup
Several Outfits (not your entire closet)
Warm Coat (if it’s cold out)
A Friend
Backpack to carry everything in
Positive Attitude
Rule 5: Shoot First, Party After
Don’t go out and hammered the night before a shoot! Hangovers suck. Puffy, bloodshot eyes are not flattering. Obviously, you wouldn’t get drunk the night before a marathon, so don’t hit up the bar the night before a shoot. Get plenty of rest, kick ass at your photo shoot, party after.
Rule 6: Maintain Professional Communication
If you want to avoid promoting the stereotype that models are stupid and shallow, take the time to ensure that your communication skills are intelligent and courteous. The following is an example of poor communication:
hey i lik ur work we shld shoot together some time i dont knw what my schedule is for next week but ill let you knw
Obviously you wouldn’t write this way when applying for a job, so don’t write this way when applying for a shoot. We all use computers. We all have spell check. And you’re not saving any time by skipping the punctuation either. So do it right.
Here is how your letter should read:
Hello my name is Jane and I just wanted to say that I really like your work. I would love the opportunity to collaborate with you on a shoot. Please contact me if you are interested in meeting. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
And since we’re always looking for short cuts, here’s a hint: you can save this letter on your desktop and copy/paste it wherever you need.
Rule 7: Don’t Flake Out
This one is important for models and photographers alike. Don’t flake out on your engagements. If you agree to do a shoot, show up on time. No one likes being stood up. This is the fastest way to ruin your reputation. Photographers take their work very seriously, and our time is important. If we clear our schedules to shoot with you, and you don’t show up, you can be sure you’ve burned a bridge that will never be rebuilt.
Rule 8: Don’t Expect Instant Results
Modeling is hard work. There’s no way around it. It takes a lot perseverance. When you are first starting out, you probably won’t get paid. In fact, you probably won’t get paid for a long time. First, you have to build your portfolio. Then you have to sign with an agency. Then you have to go on auditions.
