Phil Buck BeholdersEyeP

Hello, my name is Phil Buck.
I have studied race/ethnicity at the university level through three different degrees in three different fields  BA Africana Studies, BA Economics, and MA Geography

Photography is not really my primary source of income it is just one of my major passions and model photography is only a small part of that.  I am more interested in getting great shots of a huge diversity of people than in creating the "perfect portfolio" per se. 

I'm looking for unique individuals to photograph - people who move to their own rhythm.  I want a broad diversity of ethnicities and backgrounds.  I want to open some minds to what beauty is.  I am really NOT looking for any "barbie" or "ken" types, since that is the stereotype that I want to break. However I could not say I have a diverse portfolio and accept everyone if I excluded Barbies and Kens; so regardless of your "type" let me know if you would like to work together.

I am also looking for mixed ethnicity couples to shoot.  Mostly romantic shots (not really risque).  Trying to open some people's minds to what love entails also.

I will travel SHORT distances for free (meaning the Tampa Bay area).  Longer distances if paid.
I will do Trades For Portfolio CD's/DVD's.  You must be different from the "herd".
I love outdoor settings the most, but I am willing to do all sorts of shots.

Escorts are welcome as long as they don't provide distractions in any manner (except protection of course).  I am very open to input from my models and would really like to capture whatever entertains you artistically.

You can email me at BeholdersEye@photographer.net 
When I began using BeholdersEyePhotography there were not any other people using a name like that. Just in the last year there have been at least four or five people who started using similar names so I will just be using my own name for the foreseeable future.

I use Nikon equipment - currently D300 (which I LOVE) and SB800 speedflash. 

Visit me on Myspace or Facebook (prefer FB lately).  The link is at the top of this page.  I have many more pictures there, mostly non-modeling related.  Feel free to add me as a friend there too.
