I'm a self taught Published Commercial Beauty & Glamour Photographer shooting for 14+ years. I'm based in Las Vegas and travel frequently to California, Arizona and NYC. I'm interested in creating memorable shoots and head turning images for models for their portfolios, as well as for publication.
Although I seem to have a lot to say on here, I believe in shutting my mouth and letting my images do the talking for me. If only visiting our fine city, I can whisk you away to interesting locations where your pics will look amazingly unique. In Vegas I find that most photographers shoot in the same 4-5 locations over & over, so I go about things a bit different. When I am not shooting, I am scouting new locations for future shoots.
MOST OF MY SHOTS ARE DONE ON-LOCATION (INDOORS OR OUTDOORS) AND ARE DONE WITH NATURAL LIGHT. If you want studio work, I can absolutely do it with you, but will most likely refer your work elsewhere. I feel I'm most in my element when I'm outdoors, and in my opinion anybody can shoot studio where everything is controlled including the climate.
I have developed a style that's my own and is now getting recognized as such, so maybe it's time for a change...
If interested, please contact me for rates via email to:
photomodelman@yahoo.com
Your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated.
I also, at times, shoot event work in the Vegas area.
OK, I had a long drawn out rant on here, but I just read it and decided that it's not really me. I'm a fun, easy going guy that thrives on taking amazing images of amazing people. That's what it boils down to. I keep shoots fun and interesting, make them memorable and all about you, and the images you receive in return leave you wanting more! This is my goal EACH and EVERY time you step in front of my lens. I can't shoot boring people, plain and simple. I work EXTRA hard to bring out who you are (inside and out.) Let's create some crazy ass stuff together, the type of images that leave people wanting more and leave them saying "DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
I love to travel, and I'm in CA, NV, AZ and NY quite a bit. Just because you are located somewhere else other than here, don't think for a second that we couldn't work together.
UPCOMING TRIPS:
NYC, AZ, CA, NC
If I've sent you a friend request, it means I am intrigued by your work; if you are a stylist or MUA, let's talk about doing a shoot (assuming you are local to the LV area or are going to visit). If you are a photographer, thank you for the inspiring work!
Contact me at 702-806-1801 if you would like to work with me and/or you have any questions.
I have shot for magazines, designers, events, recording artists and commercial clients. I also do paid testing for agency models. I'm very easy to work with and can direct as much or as little as necessary. Extremely limited trades only for published work or mutually beneficial projects (and I've approached you,) otherwise ask me for my reasonable rates. I really do not need images for my portfolio, I've been shaping it over the last 14 years and it looks pretty cool. I'm very approachable so please let me know your great ideas! Hair and MUA is also available. A good portfolio is an investment in the way you market yourself. If you are serious about modeling or want to start, I keep up on fashions, trends & styles and I know what the agencies are looking for. Invest in a photographer that can get you the shots you need in order to get work. A pretty picture is cool to look at, but if you wanna make money with it is like apples & oranges.
Keep reaching higher and further than you think you can go, and you will get there in time!
All the best,
Phil

About me...
My name is Phil and I'm a Libra. I like animals, playing bass guitar and love the outdoors and live music and dancing...yadda yadda yadda....LMAO
A lot of photographers have muses, people that they never tire of, people who are constant sources of divine inspiration...
I'm haven't found my muse...but I'm confident I will.
If you'd like to hire me & my team don't hesitate to contact me at photomodelman@yahoo.com or call 702-806-1801 for any assignments you have or to update your portfolio. I'm very easy to talk to and approachable, & my rates are comparible to the quality of work I provide.
I require that you allow ME to bring an escort...LMAO
No wait, that's not right :-P

"Any photographer who says he's not a voyeur
is either stupid or a liar." -- Helmut Newton, 1995
I make good looking people look HOT! ;-) I believe my work speaks for itself! My main focus nowadays is on BEAUTY work & published works.
Let's meet up for coffee and see what ideas we can come up with. No shoot dates will be booked without a prior meeting & deposit
On shoots, I have my own makeup/hair artists & stylist. For women, a makeup artist is mandatory. For men, it's simply a suggested option. I work/have worked with some amazing artists!
I'm a professional photographer in Las Vegas, NV. I do all kinds of photography from fashion, editorial and headshots, to events and more. I would rather shoot more and charge less than to charge more and shoot less. Feel free to call or write me with any questions.
Let's create a picture that screams your message to the world. Tell them what you want them to know. It is your representation, your IMAGE. Let's shoot you images that help you BOOK MORE WORK!
Seductively Sexy - Always Classy.
1) no “per-look” charge – I shoot high resolution Digital.
2) no “dirty old men” – My team is young, hip and professional with great references.
3) studio or on-location – Anywhere, we’ll make sure your in
your comfort zone. Please let me know if you require studio images.
4) bring anyone you want – Your mom, brother, agent, manager, friend...this is your shoot.*
5) Bring your own music cd's and LET'S HAVE A FUN SHOOT!!!
Friend requests without a tag or image comment first will generally be ignored.
*NO MORE TFP...unless I contact you...sorry just don't have the time anymore
**I also just want to state to all those photographers & models that offer each other TFP, this is a priviledge that should not be taken lightly. When you expect it, demand it, or schedule it and then flake out on the other party, you are hurting all parties involved. Although I rarely offer it, I would have a better taste for it if I felt the other party respected me as an artist and appreciated what they were actually getting. Too many last minute bailouts, egos, attitudes and people that didn't respect my time or talents**
check this out and how it relates to TFP:

*I am interested in finding additional talented make-up artists/stylists and retouchers to collaborate with.*
*Always looking for models for a new book project, fashionable art nudes, must be fit, tall, good muscle tone, good skin.*
-I reserve the right to ask for a signed model release for all shoots. Everyone involved will receive a limited copyright release from me, in that case.
-I do not pay models unless a client is paying me.
- MUA's - If I am being paid you WILL be paid as well. I do not usually pay "kit fees." I will not ask you to help with my expenses.You most likely will get fed, as I love food! If you insist on a kit fee, you will only receive un-retouched images if the shoot is a test. If I am getting paid, you will get paid (and I pay well.) On a paid shoot I usually give the model, makeup artist and stylist a edited image of our work together.
- *Escorts - Though I prefer not to have them around, if it is your "rule" or you feel more comfortable then I respect that. Please limit it to one escort and you control them. My honest belief is that you should trust who you shoot with, and if you need an escort that may not be the case.
-I am always on time and expect the same courtesy!
-I need a way to get in touch with you (i.e. cell phone number.)
- We meet in person before the shoot but at very minimum we should have a phone conversation first.
-It is a group effort. I am always open to ideas, criticism and input from each team member involved.
-I will treat you respectfully and with courtesy. I expect the same. Let's be professional, but have a FUN shoot!!!
I exist, therefore I photograph. -me

Welcome to Sin City Imagery 2009! Here are some things I learned to never do again:
1. Shoot a model with a belt around her chest.
2. Take a day off in order to shoot a model sans deposit.
3. Shoot a model who's profile states "I model as a hobby."
4. Steer clear of people who's profile/bio's are written in the third person.
More to come...LOL

ATTN FASHION STYLISTS & FASHION DESIGNERS: If you would like to work on editorial projects, please contact me.
*test shoot info:
I do not give out a CD of the entire shoot. No CD given day of (why would you want unedited images anyway?)
I do not give out RAW files.
I rarely pay kit fees.
My practice is to give models a handful of premium quality retouched images rather than a CD full of repetitive untouched images. Unless I have been hired to shoot or we have agreed on something specific, models can expect to receive about 5 or 6 high quality retouched images from me, usually 1-2 per look.
I am also looking for additional representation for myself as well.

Thank you everyone for your tags and picture comments. I appreciate your interest in me and my work, it truly means the world to me. Only thing I would ask is please take a moment to browse all 5 pages, as the models located within are equally as beautiful and equally as deserving of your wonderful praises. They almost all check on it from time to time as well. Thanks! :-)
I would be happy to accept your friend requests, all I ask is that you please identify yourself with a tag, email or a pic comment. C'mon now, it's the right thing to do & a small think to ask. Don't ask for a vote or tag just to promote yourself or your work, this isn't your Facebook wall lol.
All of the models displayed within come highly recommended. I can't sing their praises loud enough. I also owe quite a bit to my team as well, makeup artists, stylists & assistants.

Cant really sum myself up in a box... or well i can... but I choose not to...
I'm a professional photographer... spent too much wasted time in college and now I'm making up for it.
I love my parents and my sis like no other...
...and sadly enough I've come to realize that I know a lot of people...I have lots of aquaintances and I can count my real friends on both hands and feet...I'm always looking for more REAL friends.
I am available for hire to help provide models with some striking art for their portfolios. I offer many packages with affordable rates for all. If a package is not what you're after, I also offer portfolio shoots for models desiring magazine quality images which start at 150/hr. Each hour includes 1 full resolution and web-sized image professionally retouched with a release to use for self-promotional purposes. Additional retouched images are available from your session for $25/ea.
Professional hair and makeup is also available during your shoot, ask for rates.
Please don't get your feelings hurt if I can't work with you for trade. I only do in extremely rare cases and at my whim due to an extremely busy schedule and having good relationships with models that I know are dependable and talented. Otherwise email me for my rates. If you wish to book me to shoot material for your portfolio, my rate is $500 for a half day.
I do not pay models to shoot unless it is a commercial job. Models I usually use for these jobs are ones that have helped me or proven themselves to me in the past.
I value a models time as much as I want to have them value my time, so please keep your commitment!
Three projects now in effect:
-Art exhibit/gallery showing. Any pieces sold will be split 50/50 between myself & the model. I have already committed my share to be donated towards cancer cure research (a cause that's very near and dear to my and my families heart) most of these images will involve artistic nudity to some degree.
-Published book of photos to be released in 2010. I'm shooting many styles/themes and if you are selected you will need to shoot whatever I feel I need & you are best suited for. There is no pay involved but this does offer you the option of being published & a team sheet.
-Shooting magazine submissions for publication. If chosen for this, you will also need to shoot what I select you for. This also offers no pay, but if published you will have a tear sheet from it.
Fashion nudes - what you would see in like French Elle or V Magazine. Nudes in good taste but that make quite a bold statement.
*Some of the above requires sexy/risque/nude work, just an FYI so there's no surprises. I can't shoot a beauty shot with EVERYBODY lol ;P

Testimonials:
Dear Phil,
It's an exceptional experience working with you! Your creativity and skill behind a camera is impeccable. Not only is it fun shooting with you, your professionalism makes collaborating flawless. As a hairstylist/makeup artist it is of great importance that we communicate what we are trying to get across in an image. You make it very easy to not only do my job but, to make everyone on a set comfortable and most effective.
Whether it be a photoshoot for a magazine or photography for a wedding or special event...I would recommend you time and time again!!!
I will continue to support you and of course, look forward to working as a team again!

-Being a model can sometimes be crazy and time consuming, especially with having a busy schedule. But with working with Phil made time go by quickly because I had so much fun! Not only did I have a great experience working with him, but he took the time to make ends meet. He is very professional and outgoing, absolutely the best photographer I have worked
with thus far. I have received so many compliments on his work that I have been told that they are my best pictures ever taken! I am definitely looking forward to working with Phil again in the near future. It was a great shoot!
~Melissa-Anne (293983)
PHIL EDELSTEIN has to be one of the best photographers. You are great!! I would suggest him to anyone experienced or not! Thanks for everything that you have done!!
~Monique (97876)
You have the ability to capture fantasy and truth.
Natural light is your bitch.
Well done.
~David (Myspace dude)
Shooting with "Dr. Phil" was an exciting experience! Aside from his relaxed yet humorous personality, Phil has a knack for shooting the right models for the right locations.... creative, innovative, and a blast to work with! His open mindedness for new ideas will make any model feel comfortable within the first five minutes of meeting him. A truly gifted and experienced photographer that can capture a woman's beauty and essence in every picture, Phil will add amazing images to your portfolio. He goes the extra mile to make the perfect shoot for anyone! I highly recommend working with him for any job. ~Lacey
I love your outdoor work, it is simply stunning! You really manage to capture the beauty in the women you photograph. Even the unconventionally beautiful women become goddesses through your lens.~ Patricia (Model)
I have received so many compliments on my pics from you! I am so happy with the pictures. I have been bragging about you to everybody. Thank you so much, you are great. I didn't expect the pics to be THAT good. I am amazed by you. Thank you again!
~Alliny Kim
Gotta say that at first I thought you were the typical average portrait photographer, but after taking a good look at your pics, I definitely changed my mind. I think you can capture the inner self, like many do not. The beauty, sadness, mystery or even emptiness within their eyes. I can't express it, but your work speaks for itself. I'd love to work with you anytime! ~ Elena Romero (Model)
Phil is very professional, a talented photographer, makes you laugh, and feel relaxed. Oh, but what a YENTA! Blah, blah, blah! Just take the picture already!
