** 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/night before. If I cann't confirm the day/night 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 ************
Absolutely no inqueries about shoots from half~a$$ed, non~serious "I've always wanted to be a model" wannabes' !!! I don't have a studio and shoot ONLY on~location during the warmer months of the year. Therefore, my "shooting season" is very short. If you're not serious and commited to shooting with me and cancel or flake, it does huge damage to my shooting season. I hate to sound like a "hard a$$" on this, but my limited amount of shooting time just won't tolerate that kind of un~professionalism. So please ladies, let's keep it highly professional.
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. Which I have known models to roll their eyes at in disbelief. I've been known to talk to myself, out loud, during shoots. Again, prompting some models to roll their eyes, in bewilderment. I have a habit of eventualy calling my models "sweet heart" at some point during a shoot. And, you guessed it, causing them to roll their eyes in their sockets, several times. Shooting with me is always an interesting experience.
Working with Models',
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* 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 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. That's a little longer than most other photogs' shoots, but I prefer quality over quantity. My shoots have a relaxed, professional and often collaborative atmosphere to them. 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.
