Time to wipe off the dirt and blood; time to get up and get back to where I belong. Shooting once more!

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
Photography is the expression of the vision in the minds eye, and for me, an infintessimal expression of just one billionth of who I am. I love it, dream about it, and see pictures and feelings floating through my heart and thoughts. The advent of digital has changed the world of photography, and brought it's new tools within my very reach.
With that said, I would like to find area models to shoot with, to improve and learn all about portrait and model photography, and in return hopefully add to your portfolio. If you're just starting out yourself, I would love to work with you! If you have a unique theme in mind, I will be willing to travel locally to the ideal spot.

I work with models on a selective TFCD basis for glamour, pinup, retro and portfolio-geared projects. As I have traveled from beginner to intermediate, I am now also working on an outrageously reasonable fee premise, unless we both cooperatively agree the photos will add to both of our portfolios.
