CURRENTLY SHOOTING...
"Spiritus Obscura": If you're interested in being a part of this art set, please give me a shout. And please note, it requires nudity.
A sample of the "Spiritus Obscura" series can be
viewed here.
"Saints": In this collection various social and behavioral issues are interpreted, explored and represented through a group of unusual saints. The wardrobe plays a large part of the imagery. It's also important that the model has input into this portion of it so that it brings an additional element of their persona to the shot. Sound like just the shot for you? Killer. Send me a snapshot of 3 outfits from your wardrobe that you feel are the most amazing and you would be willing to wear.
Note: Amazing can be as simple as a special lingerie piece or an elaborate dress. If you plan on purchasing something special, then digital shots, or links to websites, are great. If I feel it's a good fit I will let you know and we'll start rolling on the planning, or I may have a few more questions. I like questions. =]

WANNA KNOW IF I DO TF? SURE DO!
Gladly! Happily! But only if it's as part of my personal work. That stuff I consider my artwork. The collections listed below are ongoing or in the planning stages. If you don't see anything listed below that is of interest, check back later as it's bound to change from time to time. Also, if you wish to travel to my location, need me to cover the costs, please let me know what that is going to be.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S NOTHING ON YOUR LIST I WANT TO SHOOT!
No problem. If you would rather shoot something that's not on the list below, let me know and I'll send you my pricing. I do believe it's very reasonable.
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT ME (for the attention challenged):
If you want to shoot you'll need to want and be willing to be a part of a series that I am working on so be prepared to test, talk, discuss, plan, etc. I am working on several new series (see the next paragraph if you have A.D.D. and just can't finish this one) and always want to be sure that I have the right model in the right shot. Other than that, if you have questions, please ask. I promise I don't bite.
I call Nashville home. It's home to my studio as well. Now, from time to time I also find myself in Chicago, New York or Philly.
And if you're one that just absolutely has to read all the bio info you can find, then check out

RULES OF THE GAME
Here's the negative stuff. I hate having to post it but it's become necessary as of late. I am truly easy to work with and in the end it really all boils down to communication. So without further ado, here are the things I ask of any model.
1. If you don't plan on showing up, please don't bother contacting me. I love shooting, and to sit at the studio waiting for a model that never shows up is frustrating. I could, after all, be shooting someone else who is a bit more serious about what they do.
2.If you expect to receive shots in RAW format, I'm not the photographer for you. I will however deliver all my final shot choices to you in hi res jpg format.
3. My photos represent me and my art, therefore I choose which photos see the light of day, with your input of course. This also means that I don't want photos posted until I have had the chance to finish retouching and post production.
4. If you have any reservations in terms of what is or is not in a shot communicate that ahead of time. I respect every models likes and dislikes, but expect that to be communicated before shooting starts.
5. If you have a particular number of shots that you expect to receive from each setup please let me know before the shoot. Some of my setups are very involved with the expectation of only ending up with one shot in the end. If this does not work for you then I suppose we should discuss it before the day of the shoot.
6. If you expect to have your shots in only a few days you will not be happy shooting with me. I do a lot of post production to my shots and live with them for a bit. This means that I take my time until I get the that finished shot that makes me ecstatic. However, I will always be in communication with you about it and am more than happy to give you a list of references as well that will assure you that final images will indeed make it to your inbox.
