YYC Studio

This is my take on photography in a nutshell:



Finding the right models for all of my ideas is like trying to build a wall with grains of sand. It's more frustrating than you can believe, makes you question your methods, sanity, and effort. But in the end...you know what needs to be done and you keep going.

ABOUT ME:

Who am I? Tom (or Tj)
What I do?I am a project/concept photographer. I come up with an idea then I go looking for a model that can fit my specific vision.
Why?Cause I like it this way. It works best when I can get at the very heart of what I am trying to achieve and personify that in a model.
Occasionally? I will do something completely different than what people have come to expect. It is usually pretty exciting.
Stuff? Yes I reserve the right to meet you ahead of time. It's not a date, I just need to see if you have the personality I am looking for. No you do not need to bring an escort

p.s. If you are sending me a friend request with no other love, you are either:
A) Lazy, or
B) A MySpacer/Facebooker who just enjoys accumulating friends, or
C) Lack anything constructive, positive or negative to say about my work...

In either case, you will be ignored unless I know you or like you
