I'm trying a variety of things nowadays
varied approaches to image making
as well as the media I use
I need different types of people for different projects
I like people aren't just looking to make pretty pictures of themselves
I will ask you to tell me something about yourself
as I like to make images that are relevant to the model/subject.
anecdotes, philosophies, things that matter to you
can be very helpful in making better images
I always need a signed release
and I never allow guests
it is critical to the images that no unnecessary people be present.
If you are concerned for your safety as you should be
please contact other models I have shot with
yaybye!

This morning (2013.02.28) I saw a video of a model who was drugged and sexually assaulted by a 'photographer' on MM.

Please vet your photographers and talk to people they've worked with.
It's more homework than just going alone or bringing an escort,
but it's the only way to really know anything about who you are working with.
If you know other people have felt safe working with them,
then you also will be more at ease and it will show in the images.
Don't trust that if someone has good work that they are a good person,
the world is full of evidence to the contrary.
Make asking questions about a shooter part of your routine
and if you can be brave enough to share a bad experience
to protect others from repeating their mistakes, like Riley, you are a hero.
If you want to work with me, vet me. Please ask around.
I could be totally fucking crazy.
Everyone in my portfolio could be buried in my backyard for all you know.
(have you seen my artwork?)
Please be safe.
