A QUICK NOTE ABOUT TFP - I DON'T DO IT
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT TFCD - I DON'T DO IT WITH ONE EXCEPTION:
I do TFCD for my fine art work which could include some form of nudity or implied nudity. I accept creative input but this is my shoot run by me. You would get web sized only copies of what I edit. If you want prints, you can buy them from me for 1/2 price.
If we work well together and can develop that creative energy of a muse and her artist, then I will do tfcd shoots of what you want also but this would be a working relationship of mutual benefits.
I do not have a studio here in Los Angeles yet but for paid shoots I will rent one for the day.

Well known for his ability to put a model at ease, so personalities, as well a model’s intrinsic beauty comes across in the final image. If this sounds too good to be true, please come see for yourself, as other have.
He is also known for his digital darkroom work and Photoshop abilities as well as printing. He has worked with digital darkroom, darkroom, fine art printing in the dark room, toning, Gum Di-chromates, Cyan-O-Types, Van Dyke Browns, liquid emulsions, emulsion transfers and more. He has toned with gold, platinum, selenium and copper as well as the more common toners like browns and blues. He has also used teas and coffees for toning.
In the digital darkroom, Clayton works a lot with layers, effects, and layer effects. Combining images into composites and montages.
Well, somebody get him a coffee. I know how he feels.
