Winner of the Concept Shot of the Day Contest OCTOBER 1, 2008: ARTISTIC NUDE
http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=353641
Thanks for stopping by!!
I've had a serious interest in photography since junior high school. I was the only photographer for my high school newspaper for four years, and worked mainly with sports events and special events photography. After working independently with landscapes and wildlife for a few years, I was invited to join a special group of artists in a cooperative art gallery sponsored by the Herron School of Arts. I also have some newspaper experience, working as a stringer for a large metropolitan newspaper (circ. 1 million). My experience with model photography dates back to 2003, and I will never turn back.
For me, photography is fun. I've had a great time putting together the images you see here. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have enjoyed creating them. Photography is also a serious business, and I am serious about putting together a great look for every photo I shoot. I like to approach each project from several angles, always trying to find a unique perspective.
Putting together a portfolio means having the right collection of shots, and being able to show images that will get you noticed. Could your portfolio use a few unique and creative shots? I do portfolio work on location or in a studio setting. My work ranges from casual to glamour, focusing on beauty and elegance. I work mostly in the Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama areas.
I am a full-time professional photographer, so paid work will always have a priority. But I'm also working to improve my own portfolio, and am currently accepting EXTREMELY LIMITED TFP/CD arrangements. If you feel that you have an exceptional look that would benefit my portfolio, please feel free to contact me by email.
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE FOR TFP/CD
WE PROVIDE -
An opportunity for you to help create the look you want to achieve during a shoot. Pre-shoot planning is a cooperative effort between the model and photographer.
A CD containing only the best images from your shoot. These images are processed for the best look possible and will not require additional editing.
If requested, a contact sheet will be provided for your image selections.
If requested, special effects photoshop processing may be applied to a limited number of images.
YOU PROVIDE -
The common courtesy of crediting your photographer for images placed in your portfolio. If your "manager" or "agency" says that you can't do that, please DO NOT ASK ME FOR TFP! I will be happy to provide you with a very reasonable rate for your portfolio work.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Please show your appreciation for the models you find here. Without them, none of the photos on this page would be possible. Most photos are credited with a live link, it would be great if you would take the time to follow that link, and show them that you appreciate them as much as I do.

Bob is one of the kindest photographers that I have met. We had a great shoot and he was fun to work with. He is very creative and talented. He looked after me while I was there and went out of his way to make sure that my needs were taken care of.
I highly recommend working with him any chance you get!

Please Note: A certain photographer has spent the last 2 years trying to discredit my work by stalking my friends and spreading nasty rumors. He does this because his own work is substandard and this is his way of competing. I have tried to ignore this situation because I feel this type of activity is totally unprofessional, but the problem continues.
This photographer has been banned from this site, as well as others, numerous times for harrassment. But he continues to be allowed back on this site despite numerous complaints. He also lurks here under several fake profiles, and continues his unprofessional tactics.
I only ask that you judge my work by what you see here. If you have questions concerning my character, please refer to any of the models whose images you find in this portfolio. I have no need for fake profiles. Thank you.

** I'M HEARING THAT A RUMOR IS BEING PASSED AROUND THAT I AM DECEASED! I'VE CHECKED INTO THIS WITH SEVERAL DOCTORS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS UNTRUE. I'VE TRACKED DOWN THE SOURCE OF THESE RUMORS....A COMPETING PHOTOGRAPHER HAS BEEN CONTACTING MODELS THAT I'VE WORKED WITH TELLING THEM THAT I HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE. THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLY TACKY AND ILUSTRATES JUST HOW DESPERATE AND FOOLISH THIS PHOTOGRAPHER CAN BE. **
