Sept 15, 2009 Update:
Slowly catching up, I am getting ready to start shooting again in this Fall. Recently I rented a 200,000 sq ft. of a rundown factory/warehouse for studio/backdrop. It is a pretty uber cool place. The possibilities are limitless. So PM me if you want to work together.
I do pay or trade with models only if she has the look, height, good skin, pose, emotion, and maturity.
If you write to me, it means that you'd like to work with me. Please be prepared to follow through. If you are window shopping, please say so and ask any specific questions you may have. I will address them the best I can.
Likewise, if I write to you, I want to work with you, no more and no less. It sounds very dry; Indeed it is because I don't want to send out the wrong signal. But in reality and in person, I am funny as hell. My photoshoot is fun and lively. I guarantee you will laugh throughout the shoot. I am generous and a good host. Wifey will make brownie if I request a few days ahead
.
I am NOT interest dating you or get to know you after shoot. Although there are a few models/photographers whom we have become friends. It just happened, but not by any motives or desires.
..............................
Hello and thank you for coming by. Although reading profiles is so uncommon here, I do read the profiles of those I have interest in working with. You can tell a lot from the profile. If you desire to work with me, I do hope you do the same because it is important to know me as a photographer. Being in sync is important to create killer images in a professional working environment.
For those hard working models from out of town:
If you need a safe and clean place to stay and need to borrow a car to drive to the location, you can contact me to see if I can help. This offer/trade is only for the "mentally stable, mature and well traveled" models who have an active portfolio on MM with established MM photographer references. The new model, first time run away from home type, is not welcome. For the qualified individual, you need to provide me a copy of your and your traveling companion's picture ID (driver license or passport) on arrival. I reserve the right to do a background check if necessary. Do not bring illegal substances or alcohol into the premise. This will not be tolerated. I will call police to arrest you.
Here are a few rules:
1. No, it is not a prelude for a date and you don't need to sleep with me, because I'd rather sleep with my wife in our own house a few miles from where you will be staying.
2. No drug, no smoke, no alcohol and no party, only thing you can do is to take a hot shower, relax, listen to your iPod from my Bose speaker, and sleep. We also have Wifi in house so that you can keep up on the net. The facility is brand new. Please help to maintain it this way.
3. This offer/trade is only good for up to two persons (one model and one traveling companion), no exception. Maximum stay is three nights.
My studio is also open to the traveling photographers with sound portfolio in need of a studio, but the studio use is only available in the weekend. Contact me for details.
This offer is created based on the MM principle of networking with the like-minded professionals. Please do not misconstrue into something else. Use it as you see fit, move on if it does not meet your approval.
I am totally in love with our earth and all the creatures that live on it. Life is wonderful and plentiful. Until we work together, have a great year in 2009. Be kind to all humankind.
New Models, please note:
If we agree to shoot on a TF/P (images) basis, please do not ask me to shoot your BF. I don't shoot BF on a TC/P basis and certainly will not be on the same day.
