About me
IMPORTANT NOTES: (PURTY) PLEASE READ

The Rules: I use MM as a vehicle to find talent to be used in my personal work in both fine art and fashion. And only in these cases do I do TF. If you are interested in either of these, please feel free to post a tag or send me a message. Please know that every idea I'm working on requires a specific face,  body type, style, etc., and as such means that I won't be able to use everyone, however, if I feel a particular look will make a great addition at some point, I will certainly put you in my list of models to use. If you are ONLY looking for paid work, please contact me through my website (see below for link) and provide me with your name, link to your portfolio as well as your rates.

The Exception to the Rules: Clothing designers, stylists, tearsheets and/or models who come armed with their own killer wardrobe (must be high quality. anywhere from mild to bizarre) get first response. I'd love to talk and see what creative personal work we can come up with together.

"josh cole is not only a true artist who pours tons of effort, creativity, preparation and thought into his shoots, but respects and values input on his concepts as well. he is incredibly full of awesome, and feeds his models...damn well too."

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. 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. 

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 working together.
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 with my logo and copyright info.
3. My photos represent me and my art, therefore I choose which photos see the light of day, unless you are a commercial/paying client 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 fully respect everyone's likes, and dislikes, but expect that to be communicated before shooting starts. This helps to make sure we'll work well together.
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 a couple weeks, and are not a commercial/paying client, I'm not the photographer for you. 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. Now, if you're a commercial/paying client, tell me when you need them by.
