About me
I am here to collaborate with models, MUAs, hairstylists and wardrobe designers/stylists.

All my shooting through Model Mayhem is TFCD.  It's where I come to have some creative fun, try new things, and meet others looking to do the same.

My goal is for each shoot is simple...produce one image that is better and different than anything currently in my portfolio.  I work away at an image throughout a shoot, starting with a well defined concept and collaboratively evaluating and refining it as we go.

"All at once you look across a crowded room to see the way that light attaches to a girl" - A Long December, Counting Crows

About friends: If I don't know you then please don't send me a friend request.  I prefer to keep my list of MM friends to those I have actually worked with.  So, if we haven't yet had the chance to shoot together - send me a message or leave me a tag and let's see how we might change that!

Yep, we do.

The only thing is I'd have to be there - we just feel safer about it when one of us are there. I could assist if you need it, tho.

If you're interested send me a message and we'll talk!

Thank you SOOOO much for the elaborate response to my post. I have posted a reply in response. In case you don't feel like going back to the thread, here it is:


David Kirk:

I agree 100% with just about EVERYTHING you said. Strange how I kept reading and thinking...."ya, damn, I agree here." Its like, you just listed all the things that I was just too shy to actually go and do. Like only showing one picture from a series for instance...I just wanna show em all!!!! BUT I know deep down I shouldn't.

Same with the pictures that look similar. I know I should delete some, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I am going to go over your critique and actually make changes that I agree with. See...THIS is exactly what I was looking for in a critique. I don't really need everyone saying "your work is great this and that." I don't mean to arrogant by saying that, but it doesn't really help me grow as a photographer.

So, THANK YOU. I appreciate it more than you know.

Hey David
Thanks for the response on my thread, a few of them I was getting rid of anyway due to not many views/comments and I didn't really like them. Hopefully with more experience and knowledge in my 2nd year of college (Photography) I will shoot more. I believe a good photographer can make a bad model look amazing, but a bad photographer can make a great model look horrible.
