I am a photographer and journalist based out of the southwest United States. I am available for assignment worldwide.
To see published work in print I keep current work on
myspace.com/gatobandido and at drcmedia.com
Always looking for models for my projects and magazine work.
I am offering private sessions in LA and Phoenix fall and winter 2009/2010. Drop me a note with your phone number and I'll call you soon as possible.

MAGAZINE WORK:
I am always looking for models. I look for unique, upbeat and creative types. You rule the world (humbly of course) and the world notices. If you are familiar with the publications I submit and would like to be part of my work - contact me anytime, I'd love to hear from you. There is always work.
WHAT I LIKE TO SEE BEFORE I SHOOT FOR MAGAZINE...
I like to see raw shots that haven't been drastically reworked in photo shop. Please have a CURRENT HEAD SHOT and a good BODY SHOT - if your photos are all digitally remastered I may not be able to tell what you look like and I may pass. If your age says 85, I may pass. I want to know your real age because then I can tell what you are going to look like in person. Most model agencies want to see a Polaroid with no make up so keep that in mind. ABSOLUTELY NO SPRAY ON TANS OR TANNING CREAMS. Have a variety of looks. If you have the same facial expression in every image put up a variety. I like to see variety even if you do have the best pout ever.
CALL BACKS ON CASTING CALLS:
It is impossible to get back with everyone and I do not like saying no when it comes to casting. It's always hard to choose but I have a certain type in mind for every shoot. So you may be the most beautiful thing out there but I had something else in mind please do not take offense if you are not given a call back. Please feel free to keep in touch because as I said, each project requires a different look and at some point, that might be your look.
BEFORE THE SHOOT
Please (AGAIN) no fresh spray on or bottled tans - if you show up blotchy or orange we'll have to reschedule - I will not shoot it again and I will cancel the shoot if you are orange or your body is blotchy or uneven colored.
No glitter - If you do your own make up, easy on dark or frosty make up near the under eye. If there is a make up artist show up with plain clean well moisturized skin.
Wear loose fitting clothes if you are shooting skin
Drink tons of water days before - dehydration is not good
If you are running late, pull over and call - we'll make it happen.
Have your outfits ready and matched up when you arrive
THANKS!
