About me
People have left comments calling me Master of Light. I don't know what to say. Just one day after a year and half of shooting it finally clicked, and i started to shoot differently. Either that or my strobe light broke, lol.

My backup camera
Don't laugh! It's waterproof up to 150'. smile

Model requirements when shooting TF* with me
• Have fair to good facial skin.
• MUA is a must unless you're really good doing it yourself.
• Must be in good shape.
• Sign a model release.

What am i looking to shoot?
• I'm looking to shoot more fashion. Sexy dresses, etc.
• Calvin Klein underwear
• Guess Jeans look
• Cowgirl
• Dirty grease look in a shop.
• I no longer care to shoot nudes unless it is for Playboy submissions.
• I still love to shoot implieds.

Get more bookings
High quality image is your key to many bookings. Glamour models that have shot with me tell me they get many requests to shoot from other photographers. When they put hot images up that we've taken, their inbox fills up quickly, lol.

Models PLEASE READ Information
It is for my beach shooting but a lot of it can pertain to other locations as well.

Photographers, want to learn my lighting techniques?
I can be hired. Get hands on experience with the lighting equipment i use.


Thanks for the pic comments and tags
I just want to say thanks ahead of time just in case i don't get back to you because i maybe very busy or i'm not able to reply back with my phone at that moment. I may also opt to return comments after work. Also i only read pic comments on my current avitar. If you leave a comment on another image, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't read the comments.

Model's Testimonials:
"Karl was excellent to work with. He was very professional and extremely helpful with directing me, since I’m fairly new at modeling. He made me feel very comfortable and loosened me up. The shots came out incredible and I am extremely happy with them. I would definitely work with Karl again." - austynbusch 1446061

"It was a real pleasure to work with Karl! He's calm, cooperative, respectful, easy-going yet very professional. It was also lots of fun to shoot with Karl! He knows how to capture great moments and true emotions. He's an excellent ( and patient:) ) photographer. Thank u Karl for this amazing experience to work with you!" - ELENA 878 1262077

"Karl was great to work with! He's really fun and makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable. He takes his time in order to get the best shots possible, and to produce quality pictures." - meghannelizabeth 1214117

"My shoot with Karl was a very positive experience. He respected my time and interests, and he made me feel very comfortable. Karl gave me the direction I needed as a new model, but at the same time, let me try things on my own. Most importantly, we got some great shots!" - Sol Reyes 1323577

"Karl is truly the most professional and respectful photographer I have ever worked with. He is so very talented and I am so lucky to have gotten to work with such an expert in the photography feild. I truly felt at ease and had so much fun shooting with him. Thanks Karl. You made me look amazing!" - Julieta Wood 1273735

"Karl, my friend - after using your shots in my portfolio, I have been inundated with request to collaborate with the highest quality photographers (just look at my port), landed the "main girl" gig in the Cisco Systems Campaign, worked with several designers to show case their upcoming lines including runway shows and print catalogues.  Now, I am moving into the acting side of the business - the look that you captured in our first shoot apparently works for the industry.  Without the amazing images that you provided me with - this would not be possible.  Thanks again - can't wait till our next shoot." - Rachael Winslow 564694

"Karl is not only an amazing photographer but he’s just a great person to shoot with. He’s awesome at giving direction, and I totally felt at ease the moment I started talking to him. I had a lot of fun shooting with him, and would do it again in a heartbeat!" - Miss D Lutz 493608

"Working with Karl was such a delightful experience for me as a model. He was all the things a great photographer needs to be. Talented, creative, fun and a perfect gentleman! And knowing his specialty is the outdoors he still managed to perfect our indoor hotel shots like a pro. I'm happy with everything we got and can't wait until next time!" -Daniel Bae

"This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Karl.. He is always so easy to work with and friendly. He has a great attitude and makes the shoot fun and comfortable. He is very talented in his photography skills as well as photoshop.. The photos are always AMAZING, I couldnt be happier! I look forward to shooting with him many times in the near future" - Nikki Logan

"Karl was such a pleasure to work with. His professional demeanor combined with his great sense of humor made for a fun and comfortable shoot. Major bonus points for the upbeat music too. His choice of location was perfect. He had alot of great ideas and offered alot of positive direction. I had a great time and gained alot from my experience with him." - Isela_A

"Karl was very easy to shoot with, it was my first shoot in a long time and he made me feel real comfortable. He gave me great ideas for poses and I had a really good time." - Amber Andrews

Thank you Karl, i saw you in a picture with the bees in action.
I think this is a great strobe, even if here in Italy is practically impossible to buy it.
There is no one reseller.
I've tried sometimes to buy from the factory website, but the shipping price is too high and then the custom taxes are a big question mark, so you'll never be able to know the real price of the total operation.
And the same matter trying to buy it used from ebay, cause many sellers don't ship anything overseas.
