About Me

!!!TRAVEL!!!
I am currently in San Diego and available up to Ventura till April 22 with availability after 3pm.

My Health & Safety

In Post Covid world, I don't care about politics.  I am fully vaccinated.  If you want me to where  a mask, that's fine.  As far as bringing escorts, I am not opposed to such just as so long as they helpful, aren't jealous, not over bearing. They are their for your safety and as ride.  I also bring first aid kit and bottled water. As needed things like bug spray, sunscreen, and baby wipes.

My Philosophy:

Life is an adventure, why not live life to the fullest and have fun.
I want to explore, experiment, and capture the many beautiful flavors of the universe that I can.  I want to create pictures that evoke an emotional response, or just to make you think.  I want to capture the moment, and viewing my art as an experiment, for life is an experiment in itself.

My Educational Background:

BA in Biology, Environmental Science, and Design Arts.  Design Arts specializing in traditional photography, digital imagery, and drawing.

My Work Style:

I consider myself an artist; always experimenting and being creative.  My primary mediums of choice are charcoal/pad and the photographic medium.  I work both with digital and old fashion film. 

My Projects:

Life modeling:  I love drawing and if your interested in being a life model for me please let me know.

Casual/Documentary Style photos - I like to go with a natural look that doesn't seem posed.

Woodland Spirit - Use the natural human form and blend it with natural materials like mud, moss, ferns to blend model with that of nature and kinda be like a forest spirit.

Urban/Guerrilla Photography - "Shoot and Run" Photography that is irregular and/or clandestine and outside rules or accepted status quo. These shoots are often involved semi-public to public locations.

Bodyscapes - To use the human body to evoke the feeling of a landscape. Using the body as lines and curves, these images abstract body to evoke rolling hills and majestic mountains.

Bodypainting - I started to explore aspects of bodypainting about two years ago.  I am in the process of learning and getting better.  I am interested in painting traditional pacific islander designs, abstract, to more contemporary designs.

Blacklight Bodypainting - Much like regular Bodypainting but using paints that show up under Blacklight. Effects are a lot different than that of regular Bodypainting.

Underwater - Looking to work with models who want to experiment with underwater photography.

Mermaid - I have two tails that can accommodate model up to a 28" waist.  We can shoot on inside, by the pool, on the beach or underwater.

Rates:

Currently do to major changes in life, including moving, I can only afford to do TF work. I understand models have costs and bills. I totally respect that but understand I am not in the position to pay.  So if you contact me, I assume your interested in doing the trade of some sort or willing to pay me.

Special Note for Retouchers”

DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF RETOUCHER
I design arts background myself and do retouching myself for others.  If I need retouching by someone else it's with someone I already know.
