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.

CASTING CALLS: 
CHOOSING MODELS... 
Most important; I like to see raw shots that haven't been drastically reworked in photo shop.  If you would like to see a perfect port check out http://www.modelmayhem.com/271889:  she has a full body shot with NO make up on her profile page - any serious scout or talent agencies wants to see exactly that; the raw untouched, un-worked plain canvas.  Keep that in mind.     

If your age says 85, it makes us wonder how old you really are and it could go either way, I will pass.  I need to know your real age.

CALL BACKS ON CASTING CALLS:
It is impossible to get back with everyone and its hard to say no when it comes to casting - I truly think you all have beauty...  Each shoot calls for a certain type, so you may be the most beautiful model on the planet but the shoot fits another better.  Please do not take offense if you are not given a call back.  And do keep in touch because as I said, each project requires a different look and at some point, that might be yours.

BEFORE THE SHOOT
Absolutely no fresh spray on or bottled tans - if you show up blotchy or orange we will cancel - I will not re-shoot nor color correct for a week.  ABSOLUTELY NO SPRAY ON TANS OR TANNING CREAMS.

Please disclose if you have gained or lost weight since your current photos.   

If you have hair extensions, please let me know...  Sometimes they do not match your real hair and it can photograph a completely different color.  Yes, we can just photo-shop that out but "we" me would prefer not to. 

If your skin is bumpy or blotchy I will not shoot - A small blemish or two isn't going to end the day but an entire face of it will.  Clean, clear skin is a must. If you have an issue that is out of your control before the shoot, just be honest and we will reschedule - stuff happens...

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 before the shoot.  Drink tons of water days before - dehydration is not good - avoid alcohol the night before.  Have your outfits organized, ready, and matched up when you arrive.

If you are RUNNING LATE, pull over and call - we'll make it happen - a stressed or rushed model is not good - we can make it happen and your safety and well being come first...  I want to work with calm happy models.  There is no reason to be stressed or nervous.

AFTER THE SHOOT:
Magazines - I have no control over when your feature will come out.  I submit work in order of shooting - It could take anywhere from one month to nine months for your tears.  You must be patient with magazines - if your shoot is put off for a few months it is because it goes better with the rest of the content for that particular issue.  The magazines I work for are professional and they know what they are doing so I do not ask them for favors, for special placement or treatment - it is their decision to select where things go and they are very good at it; my job is making good photos -

PRIVATE SESSIONS:
Unless otherwise agreed, you will be able to view your proofs within 7 days of our shoot.  Once you select the photos you wish to use, another 7 days and you will have a disc of your images.  I also give all images from the shoot at low res, watermarked on a disc.
