Traveling here,traveling there,hopefully to a location near you!

Hawaii trip booked for May 27-June 3,2012

2011 was an interesting and at the same time an amazing year for me.I had the opportunity to shoot in unique locations and at the same time develop and expand on many different themes.I also would like to send a heartfelt thanks to all the models that I have worked with this year.All of you helped enhance my images with your beauty,and concepts.Special thanks go to the models who accompanied me on my trips,Amanda Lewis to the Virgin Islands,BrittleighT,Ms Brittany Lee ,aprilcheryse and Tara S to the Keys,and Tara Babcock's epic trip to Tampa(and the Opeth/Katatonia show in Orlando,love ya!)..thank you for being part of the most memorable shoots to date..2012 promises to bring bigger and better things,including a new and exciting musical project(yep,I am currently in pre production for a new upcomming prog metal CD with a close friend of mine),trip to Hawaii,and some models I will finally get the chance to work

Hi,my name is Chris.I am a photographer/musician/songwriter/guitarist/producer/storm spotter/workout warrior,the  order of which fluctuates on a daily basis.
See below for my schedule and where I'll be.
I guess I should write a little about myself here
I specialize in a style of photography called "Wet Fashion",and like to use water as a prop for unique styled headshots and wet fashion images.

I'm a rockstar!Yep,I am a musician/heavy metal guitarist songwriter as well,here is a rare unreleased song i did back in 1995 that is going to be released as an Itunes single in the near future

Be sure to check out my other albums,I have some fun stuff in these as well.

Some other random things about me.

I don't shoot nudes.If I want to see nekid girls,there are places to go for that.
I don't shoot cliche/trashy glam
Shots of models on toilets are tacky,don't know who or when this became sexy.
I'm STILL  searching for a muse.
I am a GWC,I am always eating chicken(Guy With Chicken)
I have nicer hair than most models(so I've been told)
I am an active musician in the scene,with many CD releases to my credit.
I love underground metal,prog rock/metal,trance,and electronic music.
Riverside is the best band in the world at this time
if you don't believe me,hit this link

Rush is the best band ever.
match.com is a dating site
Model Mayhem is not
I drink up to 60 oz of Coke Zero a day.
I am endorsed by Jackson guitars.

This inspires me

Did I say I love and breathe heavy metal,and music in general yet?
My friends from Sarasota,Jon Drenning and Ben Jackson,from the band Crimson Glory

little note here on some other items that get brought up

ESCORTS
I am escort friendly as long as he/she does not interfere,and wouldn't mind helping in certain spots.I usually have no helpers with me,especially when I am on the road,and an extra hand,especially when shooting in the water holding a flash is a great thing.Again,as long as there is no drama,no problem

I am a long haul OTR trucker as photography and/or music does not pay the bills,therefore my time is extremely limited when in my hometown of Tampa.I travel often to the Mid Atlantic/Deleware,Chicago,So Cal,and occasionally Phoenix and Dallas,and starting Feb of 2012 I will and can possibly
be available in the Toronto area as I might have a steady run from Chicago to Toronto.Due to my extremely limited home time and busy schedule,as of 2012 extremely limited TFP,which means only if I contact you or your look blows me away

FLAKES
This was never a problem until a up to then close friend of mine no showed on one of my trips.I now have a zero tolerence policy.I might not be a "name"in this scene,but I am very good friends with a lot of people who are,whether it be models,photogs,MUA's,ect.I am very tight with people in Fla.What I'm saying is that flaking on me would be the same as flaking on a lot of people,just saying...so bottom line,I know emergencies happen,a phone call or text before the shoot would be appreciated.If you think you might have issues in a month or so,let me know ahead of time so I can find a replacement.A no call,no show..no bueno

ONE MORE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THING
I'm quite silly during shoots so be prepared to laugh
