About me
Free lance photographer, mainly interested in art.  But since I like to have human figures in my art, I'm more than willing to exchange glamor, fashion, casual or portrait type work for your helping me out with my artistic work.  I put a few glamor, fashion, casual and portrait type stuff over at http://modelmayhem.com/brandonsmithgallery

As you can see in my port, I do sometimes shoot nudes, but that is not a requirement to do a shoot with me.  Escorts are generally welcome if they are going to be helpful and not dramatic.  If you are not sure, please do not bring that one.

I generally work time for prints or CD or an online private gallery for you.  If you have a specific need or request, we can negotiate, even regarding the copyrights in some situations.  I will pay if you are accomplished and can show me a port with well done nude work that shows you understand modeling and and posing and how that is different from snapshots.


If you are new to modeling, please be sure you take a look at http://www.newmodels.com/ for an introduction to the industry and realize that I am only a bit player in this game.  Another really excellent collection of stuff about what goes on is here: http://blog.patyuen.com/lessons/mmhelp01/  It's mainly about model mayhem, but mostly it applies to any modeling site.  The next one is on the mm forum and should be required reading before you write your profile:  http://www.modelmayhem.com/p.php?thread_id=117121

About me:

I'm retired military, but still working full time in the computer industry.  I was very serious about photography for several years when I had the opportunity to work with medium and large format equipment under a talented photographer in Germany.  After a long hiatus, I'm once again polishing my skills, but now with digital equipment.  I strive to make the original exposure the right one, though I'm not against doing some adjustment in the computer afterwards.

I'm open to almost any kind of shoot and usually have a few ideas percolating waiting for the right model.  Since I have a background in fencing and tai chi chuan, I can work with a model to get pictures with realistic sword work or interesting body work in them. 

If  you are interested in any of this, contact me and we can go from there.

The site http://brandonsmithgallery.com has links to most of the places where my work is.  I'm currently working on creating light paintings of many and various kinds, but generally involving models dancing or posing with lights.

Credits
Collaborated in a two man show at the Davis Gallery on the Stephens College campus in Columbia.  These are light paintings rather than modeling shoots, though most of the photos did in fact have a model making the lights move.  My images from the show are at http://synature.smugmug.com/gallery/3435936

Currently have some work on display in a couple locations.  One of them is not a photo, though, it's a sculpture.
