IF YOU WANT TO COLLABORATE WITH ME please take the time to READ my page before contacting me, since by reading it, most if not ALL of your anticipated questions will be answered.  You will have an idea as to my personality, philosophy and whether you and I will work well together.

I DO NOT schedule shoots trough any other webpage, not through Facebook, Tumbler, Email, etc... only though here!

To me is quite simple; if you don't have the time to read my page, you DO NOT have time to shoot with me, since doing a shoot takes a hell of a lot more time then reading. However, if you don’t care to know, where we will shoot, what you will get, when you will get edited photos, etc. cool, send me a private message saying "I don't' care to know anything, just shoot me already", but if you ask me questions that are found here, I will say, READ MY PAGE – so you might as well read it now or get off the next exit (lol).

If I have to travel to you, I expect you to provide accommodations (a place to stay).

I also travel to different cities around the US and the world and looking to travel with a model that I have worked with and have good chemistry with - my next trips are Bahamas, Guatemala, Honduras, Beliz, Ecuador, Dominican Republic.

What produces better results for me, is a connection between those that are involved in the creative process, especially so between the model and the photographer; the below process permits the both of us to have a good idea if we will work well together, so before I decide to work with someone the following must take place:

•  We read each others' profile;
•  Communicate via MM private message;
•  Talk on the phone;
•  Meet in person (when it is practical to do so) or Skype;
•  Pick the outfits for your shoot;
•  Schedule a shoot.

If you wanted to work with or hire a model, would you choose the one that has sub-level photos? So, if you are a model, think about that when you are deciding who to work with and what photos to put up. The photos you show will determine what type of offers you get.  bad photos = bad offers

MODEL carla

PET PEEVE • Being asked a question that is answered here and having to repeat myself.

• MODELS that want to do a shoot with me but don't want to give me their telephone number.

• MODELS that agree to a full nude shoot and schedule it during that time of the month.

• MODELS that schedule a shoot with me and flake; these models will remain blocked until they give me an acceptable explanation. If you flake on me, I require that you deposit via paypal a $50 refundable deposit which will be given to you after the shoot.

• MODELS that reply to my nude casting and tell me they are not available for nudes.

• PEOPLE that keep sending me text messages after I ask them to call me.

• PHOTOGRAPHERS that claim to be celebrity photographers when all they really are, are wanna be paparazzis with a camera. Example: The photographer went to an event and the celebrity that was on the other side of the ropes, looked or smiled at the person aiming the camera and they now call themselves CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHER.

• PHOTOGRAPHERS that brag about the number of models they have worked with and/or how long they have been shooting and have not gotten any better in relation to what they brag about; I don't consider these individuals photographers and prefer to call them "a guy with a camera".

MODEL jeska
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/jeska-097awm.jpg

FRIEND REQUEST • I read, review ALL friend request and only accept them from models that inspire me to create with them, photographers who's work I admire or from other artist that want to collaborate with me, therefore please do not take offense if I do not accept you as a friend.

MODEL angelina
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/angelina%20luna-0902wm.jpg

WHO I BLOCK • I block those that have flaked on me, those that I do not see me working with, and those that do not reply to my messages.

MODEL sarah
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/sarah%20s-2720awm.jpg

TO MUAs and other ARTIST - If you are a Stylist, Hair or Make-up Artist, Designer, etc. who wants to collaborate with me, please send me a private message.

MODEL jan marie
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/jan%20marie-281-3wm.jpg

will be back after this commercial break (these are not my prices, it is a freaking commercial break to show what photographers are looking for) ... 3, 2, 1 .....

shooting a GIRL with a stunning face - $100
shooting a WOMAN with a great body and a stunning face - $200
shooting a MODEL with a great body, stunning face, with a great personality that can perform in front of the camera - PRICELESS; for everything else, there's Master Card.

and now back to our regular scheduled program .....

MODEL candace
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/candace-958wm.jpg

Your goals should always be to find photographers that want to work with you and can produce better photos then what you have, however if they are paying you, then who cares how bad of a photographer they are - money is honey and you are a bee!

MODEL laura (makeup by me)
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/laura%20hunt-618-2wm.jpg

ABOUT ME • ..... I am based in MIAMI/FT LAUDERDALE.

When I was a child I was sketching and drawing and was also curious about how things worked. In high school I continued drawing and painting.

Wanting to leave the nest upon turning 18, I joined the US Marines, where I also got involved in the modeling world. After getting honorably discharged I continued to work as a model, which led me to become a Model Scout for one of the top 5 Fashion Agencies in the World, this eventually led me to picking up the camera (I applied my skills as an artist and became a self taught photographer). I then became the International Director for a Modeling Agency and eventually moved to Beverly Hills where I represented Actors for Film and Television - thereafter I became a Personal Manager.

I have low self-esteem and suffer from depression; shooting is my get well pill.

I am a professional goofball that takes photography very seriously. I am self-taught and have taught others. I don't own a light meter and seldom use artificial light.

I like to connect and build relationships with models I work with.

If you are looking for someone that shoots the same thing over and over again, and the only thing that changes is the model or wanting ordinary photos, you came to the wrong place; feel free to hit the exit button.

I have been the Art Director for ALL the shoots, have done the styling for most of them, and since collaborating with other artists is often difficult, due to scheduling conflicts, most of the shoots have been done without a Hair and Makeup Artist, however on 25MAR11 I started doing the makeup myself  - for an unknown reason I did not think about this before and had a genius idea (lol) after 20 years of shooting, that I should be able to do makeup since I used to be an artist

Dam! That's allot of I; my excuse is, it is about me.

MODEL amanda (my first attempt using feathers, hair and makeup also by me).
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/amanda%20e-223wm.jpg

I am not into the party scene, never been drunk and never been high, but I am addicted to shooting beautiful girls, so they tried to make go to rehab, and I said, no, no, no.

I like to sing badly, human behavior, philosophy, meaningful conversation, being spontaneous, cuddling, and the other thing is for me to know and for you to find out.

I relate mostly with women, even though I am a hedrosexual, I think that deep-down withing me I am lesbian .

I am able to  provide a place to stay in exchange for a shoot or two (I will be your hostess with the mostess), depending on how much creative freedom I am given.

If you do not have transportation; I have no problem picking you up and as the tune by Gym Class Heroes goes - "get your ass back home" (lol).

If you do not live near me, I am willing to pay for your plane ticket as long as I have the creative freedom to shoot ALL genres.

I hope that my work shows that I am versatile and can shoot whatever you want; just tell me what you want me to shoot or provide links of samples.

This is not "hookup dot com;" I am happily married to my camera, please be respectful of that fact, although she likes to swing.

Don't wish me luck, it does not take luck to produce images.

MODEL galina (1st shoot - hair & makeup by me)
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/galina-764wm.jpg

MODELING REQUIREMENTS • Female, clear complexion, great figure (hour glass shape is preferred), compatible personality and attitude or a model that inspires me to create with her or a model that feels vs a pose.

MODEL tanya (1st shoot - hair & makeup by me)
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/tanya-746-1wm.jpg

If I turn you down this is why.

I shoot those that I find inspiring and not everyone is to "me".

No matter what you look like, there will be photographers that will say "you are stunning and inspiring", but what really matters most is not what others think, rather it is what you think of yourself; whether your look inspires them or not.

METHODOLOGY

When I shoot my job is to make you feel very comfortable, I have lots of patience, will also give you directions when necessary, pay close attention to every detail in order to accomplish the objective - an enjoyable shoot that produced great results.

DEPOSIT? - If you are the type of model that requires a deposit, I will require a deposit from you as well.

WHAT WILL YOU WEAR? - I may come to you to pick the clothes, accessories and props; the shoot will take place on a different day.

WHERE WILL WE SHOOT? - The shoot may (noticed I say "may" vs "will") begin where you are at (I will know when I see it) and will continue at different locations; The world is my studio. If you are the type of person that wants specifics and details - contact someone else.

WHAT KIND OF SHOOT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR ME? - I shoot photos & video and make decisions based on a combination of things; how I am feeling, your personality, how we are interacting, what you are wearing and the surrounding area (things I see, colors, sounds, weather, etc.) - I don't shoot, I feel.

I will throw ideas at you and you are free to also throw some at me. I will start pressing the trigger when you say, OK I'll do that! If you are uncomfortable with something I expect you to say so, if you say nothing, it means you are ok with it.

If you are the type of person that wants specifics, we were not made for each other, since I do not USUALLY (shit, another key work) plan anything, I improvise, so if you ask me what I have in mind for you, I will say, "I plan to shoot you: if you say, can you be more specific, I will say "I plan to shoot you with my camera".

But if you misbehave, I will definitely shoot that!

PS. I do not shoot everyone that contacts me, not even for money; especially those that are drop dead gorgeous, but are ugly - you know who they are.

Besides what you see on my pages, I am also interested in finding models that are interested in:

Maternity (Nude), Thorns/Barbed Wire, Fetish, Horror, Gore, Cosplay (costumes), Disturbing, Disgusting, Creepy, Controversial, Rubber and Vinyl, Erotic (couples shoot), Adult, Amputees, S&M (Sadism and Masochism), Rope, Candle Wax, Primitive Warrior

If there is something in the above list that you are interested in, please specify and send me your email and telephone number.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? - I expect you (the model) to come up with numerous and creative poses and to simultaneously project with your eyes different moods or emotions - especially friendly or seductive (I suggest you practice with a mirror). However, if for whatever reason you cannot do that, I have no problems giving you direction, and working with you to get what I am looking for, but keep in mind that the shoot will take longer.

ROAD TRIPS and DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS •  When I am away from home (more than an hours drive from Miami) I prefer to work with models that have a great location for the shoot and and can also offer a place for me to stay.

I also prefer to meet you in person before I confirm a shoot, if you can no meet with me, we can have a video conference via skype. If on the day of the shoot you look different then what I expected you to look like - I more than likely will not shoot you.

MODEL patricia
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/patricia%20soto-652-4wm.jpg

WHAT YOU WILL GET & WHEN? - The images that I personally like will be edited and sent right away via email, often times is on the same day. I will also send  you approximately 80% of the unedited images which you are free to edit and crop, or give it to someone else to do so, however I retain the exclusive full rights to my work.

You WILL NOT get all the images and you can only post on the web photos that I have edited myself or those that I have approved of which have my trade name (aHUMANad) and a copyright logo; so if you shoot with me you are agreeing to these terms. I do not want pictures that I have created out there that in my opinion (key word MY OPINION, gees another key work - wtf) are bad or infringe on my property rights.

MODEL xiomara
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/xiomara-939d1wm.jpg

PERSONALITY TEST non-negotiable

If you agree to shoot with me, I must either meet with you or at the least speak with you on the phone NO CALL = NO SHOOT. If our personalities are incompatible - we will not shoot; it's not about the money, honey.

MODEL valentina
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/valentina%20dimitrova-211ahawm.jpg

• I get along with most of the models I have worked with, that is why I need to speak and meet them in person first. I seldom have bad shoots, but it has happened a few times (8 to be precise) due to numerous reasons - the model's attitude, the weather, or I did a bad job (crap happens to all of us; we are not always at our best).

MODEL rachel ray
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/stephanie%20a-113wm.jpg

SECURITY CONCERNS • for my safety, if I have never worked with you, I reserve to bring with me a non obstructive person (lol).

That's like asking your prospective new employer if you could bring someone with you to the interview or during the first days at work. Nonetheless, if after reviewing my work, reading my page, communicating via MM or email, having a phone conversation and finally a face to face meeting, you still have issues of safety and have a need for one; I rather work with someone else.

PS. If you are a celebrity you are allowed a security entourage to protect you from the public... Oh by the way, I have shot many, many models, all of them have survived multiple headshots.

MODEL brittany (1st shoot - hair & makeup by me)
http://ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/brittany%20d-1574-3web.jpg

REFERENCES  •  I won’t ask you for references, because:

1.    You are only going to refer me to those that have the best things to say about you, and

2.    This is the most important part for me, I am not interested in what others have to say about you (good or bad), I care ONLY about how you and I get along; this is the only thing that I know and have no use for what anyone else has to say.

MODEL laura (makeup by me)
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/laura%20hunt-667wm.jpg


CONTEST & PHOTO COMMENTS • If you ask me to vote for you in a contest and I see someone that I like better – I will vote for them. I do not solicit for photo comments and when I leave them they are genuine.

MODEL yolanda
http://www.ahumanad.com/admin/uploads/album_9/yolanda-310hdrwm.jpg

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee155/cpm60/4brh99c.gif NOTE TO MODELS - Before you ask, no, I'm not going to hire you or pay to shoot you, clients pay and hire models after a go-see (meeting them in person = a job interview, to put it in simple terms) and I do not have any clients, because I don't like knocking on doors and I am inept at soliciting and marketing myself to clients; I like the creative process - my ideal situation is to show up for the shoot and have someone else get me the paid gigs.

WANTED • photo rep, agent or publicist.

Just because I made you aware of me (by posting a photo comment or sending you a tag) does not mean I am wanting to shoot you for free; I rather get paid for my skills and talent - especially if it's to build, improve or update your portfolio.

I DO NOT WORK WITH adult models that need me to first meet their parent, boyfriend, etc.; I only work with adults that can decide on their own and don't need to get some other person's permission to do a shoot with me (this includes agents and or so called managers).

FREE PHOTO SESSION? • I shoot for free ONLY when I am given CREATIVE FREEDOM, meaning, I will shoot Still & Video of all genres; Fashion, Beauty and all styles of Nudes. If you have no problem with this, please cut and paste the following and send it to me via a private message.

"I agree to your Creative Freedom Shoot; stills & video ALL genres - Fashion, Beauty and all styles of Nudes, my email is _______ and my tel number is ______________"

Yes, I read your page and for those that say "I will not shoot nudes" or "paid assignments only". I have worked with many models that also said the same thing on their page; so I did not miss it.

http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/mod … e/25377/P1

PS.
MODEL: But it will hurt my career!
PHOTOGRAPHER: Name me one super model that has not done nudes, or one super model who's career was ruined due to the nudes?

HIRING ME for Self Promotion? - $150 for natural beauty shots + expenses w 2 edited photos or $300 per look  + expenses w 2 edited photos.

HIRING ME for Commercial Use? - Rates depends on what you need, others involved and the complexity of the desired shoot - please inquire.



cities I will travel to for a weekend shoot Port Saint Lucie, Cocoa Beach, Orlando, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, St Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa

will reimburse models travel air fare anywhere in the US (on a limited and very selective basis)
