Life thru a lens

I took an 8 month hiatus from shooting due to health reasons. Im back up to speed and accepting tfcd/paid/ shoots for models looking for something different in their portfolio. Im looking to shoot antiglam, alternative and creative artistic models. Im a photojournalist by day. This is my creative outlet.

My name is Curtis and Im a photographer from the Neosho/joplin area. Although I have a small studio I typically shoot on location using reflectors or strobes.
. I might describe my style as well... Im not sure really so check out my portforlio and judge for yourself. I prefer to shoot images with creative light and shadow play and use backgrounds that add to the feel of the overall image. I enjoy shooting pictures that might be catagorized as antiglamour or grunge. I'm also looking to shoot more edgy work.



Im always enjoy a good themed shoot. I like to make images with a purpose and a message as well. contact me if youre a model and have ideas and perhaps I can make it come to life.  (it never hurts to inquire)

I don't provide a hair or make up person
I do sometimes bring an assistant
I will do TFCD with select models
I am willing to travel
I’m easy and fun to work with, however I do have a bad habit of taking models to broken down junky places to shoot.
