I am a street photographer expanding my portfolio to portraits. My main goal is to gain experience in portrait photography. I am very respectful and welcome ideas and suggestions from models. I prefer working outside and enjoy finding fun and interesting locations to shoot in. I like colors and colorful things and I wish people used more colors in their daily life. If you like colors, or working outside, or playing with masks and props, we should work together.

                                   SHOOTS I REALLY WANT TO DO
               ** Please let me know if you are interested in any of these!**
                       (Or anything on my "Ideas I want to try" List)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I would like to set up a wall of brightly colored bottles, preferably Jones Soda, and shoot in front of that. Not quite sure how to make the wall without it falling over and breaking.
- St. Roch Cemetery - There are a lot of really cool photo opportunities in here, although some might be a little sacrilegious. There are a series of white sculptures against teal backgrounds that would be fun to work with, as well as a room inside a chapel with all sorts of prosthetics and old medical devices.
- I would love to do a shoot in one of the many rail yards in New Orleans.
- I have never done the typical 'frolic around the French Quarter' shots with a model and would like to.
- It could be fun to do a photoshoot in public on Bourbon Street at night, almost like a paparazzi type deal where I follow you around acting like you are famous.
- I want to play with paint. Specifically, you lying on the ground covered in it.
- Flowers. The contrast between a solid background, a model's skin, and flowers makes for awesome shots.
- I have never done studio work, but I would love to do some with a bath tub. I have seen all kinds of cool shoots where a bathtub is full of a woman and a lot of colorful objects. I love this type of shot. Think Legos, flowers, rubber ducks, ball-pit balls, candy, cereal, bouncy balls, etc.
- A shoot with two or more models and waterguns full of paint (or water).
- Masks. I have lots of really fun masks. Some are cheap ones and some are elaborate and handmade. Want to get into modeling but don't want to show your face? We can do that.
