** OFF HIATUS AND BOOKING SHOOTS FROM NOW TIL MID/LATE OCTOBER **
Oh, there you are ! Thnx for stopping by !
*************** NOT escort friendly *****************
References always available upon Request
**Age Verification and a Signed Model's Release before any shooting is done **
I require the cell # of every model I'm scheduled to shoot with, to confirm the shoot the day before. If I can't confirm the day before a shoot, it's automatically cancelled. Besides, it's a much quicker and easier way of staying in touch with each other.
************SERIOUS INQUERIES ONLY ************
I have a lot of experience working with new models and a majority of my work is with them. I love working with them. They have the opprotunity to build their ports, I get work on my projects done and the models get the experience of another shoot under their belts. What makes it even more rewarding is watching them grow and mature in their craft and confidence as models as time goes on. As the heading above says, "SERIOUS INQUERIES ONLY" !!!!! I don't care what your skill level as a model is, I love working with you as long as you're SERIOUSLY DEDICATED, AND TRUELY COMMITED, TO YOUR CRAFT ON A RESPONSIBLE AND PROFESSIONALLY MINDED LEVEL. If that's not you, don't bother contacting me and wasting each other's time. You don't need that, and I certainly don't want it.
On the other hand, I'm responsible for the models' I work with and somewhat of a "Mother Hen" and am protective of them while we're shooting. More likely than not I've approached you about doing the shoot. So, I'm the reason you're on the shoot to begin with. That makes me responsible for you. I'm responsible for your comfort, safety, security and general, all around, well~being. While we're shooting, WE WORK AS A TEAM ! I more than welcome any artistic/creative input/suggestion/ideas from the models. And we'll do our very best to realize those ideas and bring them to Life. As it says at the top of the profile, I'm NOT escort friendly. I hate to burst your bubble and maybe deliver a left~handed bitch slap to your ego, but I'm in no way interested, and have no desire, in "getting sexually involved with you". And NO !, I won't pose naked for you. And no matter how much you beg, plead and grovel, I won't whip my "Mr. Happy" outta my pants for you to gawk at. So don't ask ! I provide a professional, comfortable, atmosphere that's open to true and honest collaboration. WE WORK AS A TEAM. And I look forward to working with as many of you as I can.
About Me,
I have over 30 years of Professional and Academic experience in Photography. Over the years I've shot for local weekly newspapers, been associated with studios, did my time n paid my dues shooting weddings, have participated in numerous group shows, exhibits and fund~rasiers and have taught non~credit photography courses as adjunct faculty for 3 1/2 semesters at a community college. I have 2 CD covers to my credit, "Steel93.com" demo CD, and the cover of Legendary Rock Pianist Leon Russell's "Bad Country" CD. I have a pragmatic, logical, if not sometimes off-the-wall, sense of humor. I've been known to talk to myself, out loud, during shoots. And I have a habit of eventualy calling my models "sweet heart" at some point during a shoot. Shooting with me is always an interesting experience.
Working with Models',
Unless otherwise stated beforehand, my rates vary according to types, styles and genres of the shoots. Mail me at, 4photog9@gmail.com, with a description of the shoot you have in mind for rates. They're most always negotiable.
Working with New Models',
I'll most always shoot *TF* ("Trade for") with models' new to MM, or to the industry in general. I go by the theory that everyone, including me, has been a rookie at something, sometime along the way. So I know how hard and tough it can be when you're just starting out at something new. That's why I believe new models' not only need, but deserve, a helping hand at this point in their careers. From the shoot, new models' can choose 10 fully edited shots for use in their ports. New models', you're always welcome here.
My Shoots,
I like to shoot for at least 2 1/2 hours and concentrating on full nudes in the Artistic and Fine Art Nude genres (and occasional light/moderate erotica). That's a little longer than most other photogs' shoots, but I prefer quality over quantity. The extra time allows us to take the time, no matter how long it takes, to get the most out of every shot we do.
TO SET UP A DATE AND TIME FOR A SHOOT B/C ME AT, 4photog9@gmail.com. I don't always get my messages/replys here on MM, so please use the "gmail" addy.
**************************************************************
For "FR" requests.
*************
I'm inclined to only put those people in my "Friends" section who I already know, or have worked with.
All shooting, indoors and outdoors, is done on-location. No electricity, and no heat.
