Jim Judd

Hi, I'm Jim Judd.

Why TFP?

I am enthusiastic about testing/TFP because it offers a way to learn something new with each shoot.  Growing creatively is what keeps me going.  Shooting with a model for the first time in a unique location is as good as it gets.

I believe the best photos include some of both the model and photographer.  In other words, I offer plenty of direction, but want you to contribute your ideas too.  Have a look at my work and see if it would improve your port.  Above all, the most important thing is to have fun and the photos will be much better as a result!

What should I expect after we set up a shoot?

I'll touch up the best photos and deliver each look (web and print resolution without any logo).  That means if we shoot Saturday you'll have the edited photos Sunday night.  It's only fair when you've done your part for me to do mine.

Where do you shoot?

I enjoy both studio and location photography and have the equipment to produce professional results with natural light, studio lighting or my favorite: a mix of natural and artificial light.

I'm new and will need a lot of direction.  Is that ok?

Sure, as long as you let me know beforehand.  I will let you know the basics to get ready and have a book I'll bring to find poses you can copy.  We were all beginners at one point.

Are you a creeper?

Nope, married and just interested in photography.

Wait, that's exactly what a creeper would say!

You have a point.  Feel free to contact references below or to ask about my non-model work.

Anything else?

I'm easygoing- just ask!  Who knows, your question may end up here.

I use my Friends list for those I respect on the forums or area MMers I'd like to work with.  I decline most requests unless we have or I'd like to work together to make my Friends list useful.  Nothing personal :-)
