Bryce Symonds

I was a commercial (fashion, advertising and art) photographer in NYC and the surrounding area for 27 years.  Now with over 34 years experience I am retired and photographing models to help them build thier portfolios or web pages, and just photographing people to document thier time and place in history and thier current beauty.  I'm shooting commercial material for clients for web sites and advertising if, and only if, I like them.  I've had enough of "real" work, although I like real money, so, I may consider certain other commercial projects.

I have been photographing models here in Florida from my home for the past seven years on a very minimal and casual basis.  Basically for only my costs as a fee, about $25 to $50.  Most all of the images you see here, were shot here and I enjoy shooting nudes, although it isn't necessary for me to agree to a shoot.  My commercial work is shot on location and is the property of my clients will not appear here.

I travel from time to time; to work for my remaining commercial clients and will do the same for any future clients who I can actually call a friend.  I only do commercial work now when I enjoy the process, now that I'm "retired".

I'll travel to shoot models too, of course.  As long as they can pay my expenses... in advance, don't worry I'll still keep it as reasonable and cost effective as I can.

Published in print, magazines, books; tv commercials; movies;  websites and more.  Years of experience handling and photographing exotic animals.  Experienced event and contract photographer, take me along to your once in a lifetime event or vacation adventure.

You can see some of my animal images at the following link.  I have won the image of the month for the Florida State Park System photo contest.  The image isn't on this site, but, follow the link and you can see some others.
