NOTE: I'll be available for shoots in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan from November 24 to December 13, 2009. If you're interested in shooting, please let me know. My standard rates will apply (just move the decimal place over two to the right and replace the dollar sign with a yen symbol). No price gouging just because it's Japan.
If you've never been there, I'd be happy to show you places where you can get some reallllly cool Japanese outfits! Also, love hotels make for AMAZING photos!
BDSM-, Kink-, gay-, lesbian-, pre-/post-op TG-, TV-, elder-, consensual violence-, goth-, vampire-, and sex worker-friendly photographer, at your service!
I'm an internationally-published photographer who's shot for dominatrices, magazines, bands, and the Japanese film industry. I lived near Tokyo for three years where I acquired my skills on the mean streets of Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinjuku. I moved back to the Bay in August 2007 and brought back some authentic ゴスロリ (gothic lolita) and メイド (maid) outfits from Harajuku to give interested models a little bit of authentic Japanese flavor (fit up to size 10 or so).
Rates for Sex Workers (prodommes, escorts, etc.):
$70 per hour with no minimum. No sitting fee, no transportation fee, just that flat hourly fee. The clock doesn't start until the first click of the camera.
As I'm only just now charging hourly, I have a little
special going on until the end of the year:
If you purchase two hours, we'll shoot for up to three hours
If you purchase three hours, we'll shoot for up to four hours
If you purchase four hours, we'll shoot for up to six hours
If you purchase five hours, we'll shoot for up to eight hours
After the shoot, I'll fix up all the photos and send them to you in both a web-sized version (downloadable), and burn a disc of full-sized images. You'll get easily 300+ images per hour, so you'll have plenty to use.
Unlimited outfit/costume changes are allowed.
Light Photoshopping (contrast, color, cropping, blemish removal) can be done on up to four photos of your choosing per hour that we shoot. Of course, I'll clean up as much as I can before I send any photos to you at all. Additional cleanups are just $15 each.
I prefer to travel to wherever you work, as I feel that photos come out better when the model is comfortable in her/his natural surroundings. However, I do have a small studio in San Leandro if you would prefer to shoot with a standard background.
Some of my shoots have gone on for 6 hours or more and have even spanned several days. I'm a tireless shooter who has a passion for photography. I have my own ideas for shoots and will also shoot whatever ideas you have as well.
And lastly...did I mention that I am
very kink-friendly? I've shot live bdsm sessions featuring piercing-play, cutting, golden showers, and many other things. I'm not at all squeamish and non-judgmental, so if you want me to shoot edgier stuff, I gladly will!
My Rates for Everyone Else:
Talk to me and let's go from there.
As for TFCD/P...I haven't had much free time to shoot for free lately, and I'm trying to ween myself off the 9-to-5 thing and do this for a living. Some of you may relate to that!
Thanks for checking me out!

Testimonials:
"Until you've worked with Thomas, you won't find another photographer who is as patient with finding your perfect angle and your perfect form and perfect look! In our ridiculously fun two-day shoot, he cranked out over 3000 beautiful photos! It was so hard to pick my favorites out of all of them, they're all amazing! He is consistently good at making each shot perfect. I felt absolutely comfortable wth voicing my ideas about what I wanted to do or re-do. And he's up for anything, all my wildest and wierdest ideas were realized in our photoshoot! It was a wonderful experience to to work with someone so creative and fun. I love you Thomas! You're the best!!" -
