______________________________________________________________
Shooting mostly fine art nudes and creative portraits from my little in-home studio in North Weaverville.
Currently helping new models build flattering portfolio shots for a small charge.
Me: Creative, different, easy to work with, respectful, upfront and clear. I mostly shoot creative, artistic, or uniquely styled nudes.
Pay: Yes, for nude models with awesome portfolios and talent.
TF: Yes, with the right model. However, on hiatus for a bit.
Photo ID and model release: Yes. Someday I would like to exhibit my photos somewhere. I always send the form you'll be signing before the shoot, and will take a photo of your ID before we start.
Escorts: Modelmayhem has created this trend of amateurs wanting to bring people along on their shoots. No. Been there, done that. Check references. Be smart. See also,

This means your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/mom/dad does not get to come to work with you. 
If you think you need them to, find a new hobby. Seriously.
Retouching: I do all my own retouching, and consider it a large part of the final image. For every hour spent behind a camera I spend 10 or more behind a computer. I carefully remove blemishes and imperfections as part of the process, but I do not 'airbrush', blur, run photos through cheap skin filters, or turn skin into waxy plastic. Please be sure my retouching routine matches your desires for a final photo if we're shooting TF and you want images for your use. I am happy to explain it in depth and provide samples.
Physical prints: I use Miller's Lab for my printing needs and they are amazing. Models I've worked with are welcome to buy prints for personal or portfolio use at cost, and I also sell my artwork - Get in touch if interested.
I'm friendly. Email me sometime!
