Photographer

About me
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 Glamour",and like to use water as a prop for unique styled headshots and wet fashion images.

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.
A bikini on a model on the beach will look the same as the next model on the beach with a bikini.
Shots of models on toilets are tacky,don't know who or when this became sexy.
I'm currently 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
http://www.myspace.com/riversidepl
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

I shoot mainly TFP/CD,so if you are into shooting something unique,different,and fun,lets shoot!

UPDATE!
Due to my work schedule being so crazy and the fact I'm always traveling throughout the country,it looks like my shooting in the Tampa/Central Fla area will be very sparse.
However,I will be as usual traveling all over the country,so this is what things look like,if I'm up in your neck of the woods,and you want to shoot,let me know.

Due to the weather turning for the worse due to the season,my shooting will be slowing down,unless I'm in Fla or in an area I know I have access to a heated pool.
But if I'm in your area still feel free to contact me,we might be able to work out some other theme to shoot (non nude)

And feel free to check with any of the models I have worked with or any of the photographers on my top friends list for references.We are a very tight knit group here in the Central Fla/Tampa area.We as a group take what we do very seriously.
Unfortunately a few bad apples can ruin the lot.We share information amongst ourselves about a variety of things.Flakes are a big problem here.We have an attitude of,if you flake with one of us,you have flaked with all of us,because none of us will work with a model that has flaked on one of us.

And a little tribute for a fallen comrade in metal.
On July 8,2009,we lost a true legend and the most gifted vocalist in Rock/metal,John McDonald,better known as Midnight,from the band Crimson Glory.
I was privileged to not have only opened up for Crimson Glory in my past,but to have befriended the band,and John...
His music and brilliant voice will live on forever.

Pictured here are my friends John Drenning and Ben Jackson from a recent show,unfortunately I have no images of John
