GREAT SCOTT! WHO IS WILLIAM SPEAR? Artist, Photographer, Adventurer, Comedian, Watchman, Biker, Hiker, Pirate, Philosopher, Professional Bricoleur, Part-time Economist and Political Pundit, Full Time Scientist, Writer, Singer, Actor, and Creole Chef.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY WILLIAM? I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. But if I had a third option, I'd rather have a camera in front of me. Creating works of art is my passion. I consider myself a student of this art. I want to always be hungry, learning and growing. I always feel others have something valuable to teach me, especially those whom society often deems the outcast.
CAN YOU TAKE ME THROUGH A TYPCIAL DAY, WILLIAM? My life's Key ingredients: Mystery. Monsters. Morally ambiguous heroes and misunderstood villains who belong to a world gone strange, fighting or surviving supernatural beings, strange science and/or secret history, debating things faith and reason, fate and happenstance as they go. Toss in some quips, sex appeal, and a smattering of literary and philosophical hyperlinks and you have my typical day.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR ART? Some of the works of art I craft are for private collectors. Some are for the models with whom I work. Some are for myself. Some are for fun. Some are not for any particular person, place, or thing at all. They just are. I do not resell photos to websites (unless you beg me to) nor am I interested in images that appeal to prurient interests (except when I am).
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE? I MEAN IS THERE A DIRECTION TO YOUR ART? My artistic desires are in Photography, Paintings in Oil, Psychodrama, Crazed Lecture series, and mixed media. My Greatest Ambition (Thus far) is to create a Tarot Card Image set from models I work with on MM (Yes I know it's been done before, but so has a sunset and the assumption of the virgin, archetypes never grow tired).
WILL YOU DO TFP/TFCD? Yes, TF is available for select models.
HOW DO I BECOME A "SELECT MODEL?" Send me a message and I'll take a look at your port and evaluate your eligibility. I love to work with Suicide Girls, Goth Girls, Alternative-Looks for men and women, as well as traditional glam and beauty.
WILLIAM CAN WE JUST SHOOT STUFF FOR YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION? I DON'T MIND DOING NAKED OR FETISH BUT I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE IT. wtf? I mean, what??? Look sweetheart, if you want to shoot, that's great, but the whole point of art is the exhibit it. What if the Beatles had written all 10 of their greatest Albums for a "personal collection?" We all would have been deprived of great art. If you are uncomfortable with a particular pose, dress, or position, then don't do it! Let's only show what you're comfortable showing, otherwise what's the point. Now if you want stuff for YOUR personal collection. That is a horse of a different color! See pricing for your personal collection below ;-)
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR WILLIAM and WHERE WILL YOU SHOOT ME? I had a studio for about 5 years, now I'm sick of studio shoots. So I'm shooting now in weird 1950's era roadside motels and unique geographical areas. I do on occasion shoot in luxury hotels with a MUA and a full wardrobe for select models that knock my socks off for a speciality shoot (almost always that's for a shoot where I'm paid or it's TF). I love LOCATION shoots :-) I'm always looking for fun and unusual places/people to shoot. If you or your pad qualify, hit me up! I'll Shoot Outdoors, Indoors, Around a Door, On a Door, under a Door, and inside the door but not On-top of the door. That is just too dangerous, don't ask me to do it, it's just not pretty!!
I HAVE TO BRING AN ESCORT TO THE SHOOT. (sigh), really? (sigh heavily), So disappointing. (Awkward pause)....Then you better bring me lunch, now lay on this couch. (Sit, adjust glasses, lean back). Let's begin with a discussion of your childhood, now where did this all begin? Seriously, I have great respect for the models who give me their trust. You'll never find a model with whom I have worked that will claim a bad experience with me. It just doesn't happen. We always have so much fun. It's about the Art.
New Models ATTENTION! Protect yourself and read this excellent article from a great MM Member. Great stuff on how to cull the good photographers from the bad.
How to Deal with Unprofessional Behavior
Do YOu DO FeTiSh work? YOU DO! AWESOME. WOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO TIE ME UP AND DO SOME AWESOME FETISH SHOTS (Later that day) "Yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah..." Shhhhhhhhhhhh....you're incessant chatter is ruining the mood.
WILLIAM, I THINK YOU ARE SO CUTE AND I'M SO ATTRACTED TO YOU, CAN WE GET IT ON?: Sigh....I'm so tired of models always hitting on me. I know you may think I'm incredibly sexy but really it's just a glandular problem. I exude over-the-top goodness because I produce an over abundance of Alpha-Male pheromones. I know you can't help it, but please try to keep it professional ok? This is Model Mayhem for Modeling, it's not a Dating site. Nor is it Porn-Mayhem. No, I will not take pictures of myself and send to you. Stop Asking! Keep your urges to yourself or I can refer you to a good therapist for help if necessary.
ABOUT FRIEND REQUESTS: I have a very select criteria that you must follow in meticulous fashion in order....naahhhhh I'm just yankin' ya chain, I'll pretty much accept anyone. My goal, 1,000,000 Friends by 2025.
Does anyone ever read a profile this long?
