MGP Photography

* Coming off hiatus and booking shoots from May ~ early November *

An age verification and a signed model's release before any shooting is done.

I require the cell # of EVERY MODEL I work with to confirm the shoot the day before. I can't confirm the shoot, I assume something's come up on the model's end and she can't make it, and I cancel the shoot. 

I RARELY pay models. Compensation is in the form of images from the shoot for use in the models ports.

I am NOT an escort friendly photographer. See "Working with Models" below. References always available.

Want to set up a shoot ?
Contact me at ~ 4photog9@gmail.com

If you're serious about shooting with me, write me ONLY at the email addy above. PM's, tags, and comments will be ignored. I prefer to work with models who know how to take direction, both on and off, the shoot. Please include your MM #.

My past history in photography ?
Not that important. I've had 35+ years of both professional and academic experience in photography. See credits below. I currently work on my own projects. Full nudes in the Artistic and Fine Art Nude genres, with a smattering of "sterile" Erotic (see port for an example), are currently being done on the projects.

~ The Projects~

*Breast Cancer Project*
This is a fund raiser project for breast cancer. A book is being put together on it and all models' images used in the book are duely credited. All proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to a breast cancer research foundation.

What I'm looking for out of the models working on this project is their own expressions on the subject. Using the project as a platform/foundation for photographically illustrating their perspectives, ideas, thoughts, reflections, perceptions, reactions and even their fears about breast cancer. Models working on the project will be bringing those to the table for the shoot.   

*Letchworth Project*
I shoot solely on location in the abandonded buildings of an old psychiatric center. This project centers around the patients who used to be housed there. It's my contention that the patients, no matter what their disability was, were, to the core of their souls, as normal as you and I. That is, what they thought and felt inside were the same normal thoughts and feelings as we have. But due to their disabilities, those thoughts and feelings never came out as normal. It was the thin veil of their disability that made their thoughts and feelings lose a lot in translation on their journey out to us. The project looks to interpret and photographically illustrate the ways their disabilities hindered them in expressing themselves on a daily basis. Their thoughts and feelings cover all aspects of their personalities, including their sexual sides too. As normal people on the inside, they too had their sexual desires, longings and lusts. Thus, the "sterile" Erotic genre of the project.                 

~Working with Models'~
I am responsible for the models' I work with 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.

~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 5 fully edited shots for use in their ports.

~My Shoots~
I like to shoot for at least 2 1/2 hours. 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.   
 
For "FR" requests.
*************
I'm inclined to only put those people in my "Friends" section who I already know, or have worked with.
