ShadowCrafter

Southern Gentleman Entrepreneur afflicted with affection for glamour photography  .... and light erotic bondage photos.    Now I've become somewhat of a disillusioned illusionist.  Other endeavors keep me very busy and I only shoot in certain special circumstances.   Apologies for my negligence to friends who have drifted away.

Welcome.  Photos here and at FetLife dot com.  I can best be described as an erotic bondage portrait artist.  New friends with level heads and affection for erotic entanglement are always exciting.
Best wishes to you.

A few ordinary shots are here with  a few retouched to add limited effects.
and yes,  thats me back when.

I get around

Finishing the coffee table couture boudoir glamour book  and a very few shots will be included in an edgier bondage book. For those who believe that they KNOW  what I shoot already,  I do KNOT  always shoot bondage.  If you can't get past the idea that I did shoot some erotic restraint shots with someone else, then lets  just agree not to shoot from the beginning.  Tied up or knot,  we shoot art.  And  no I don't shoot nudes unless they are nude.

Lots of wonderful ladies have already worked with me and I am very pleased to have some great shots with each of them.
Some great faces and poses already in the mix.

A select few of my shoots are paid shoots.  It doesn't happen often but from time to time, I actually pay a model.

Most are flat rate $1000 (thats my rate paid to me)  for a 4 hour shoot with guaranteed 500 untouched shots in jpeg medium size form and a 40 shot post portfolio.  For me (and tons of stuff)  to be on location requires expenses paid. A 2 day weekend shoot can be negotiated for about $1500.
If we shoot boudoir bondage I insist that I shoot my rigging. No substitutes accepted.  If you insist on substituting another rigger,  then double my fee for the shoot and I control all photos and can trash them all if they are not up to my standards.  If demanded, MUA  and Studio rental are extra.

Some few are negotiated to share post talent for models with a discounted rate.  Yes,  some of my shots are expensive.
TFP disc only for new exciting faces with no experience since I'll be teaching more than shooting.  Again I share only what I select in those shoots.

If you are afraid     do not contact me to consider shooting
I have far more to lose than you
If you must have an escort   go dancing.
We will not be shooting with your escort present
If you need a Makeup artist, we can discuss that, 
If you need a Stylist,  we can discuss that.
If you need to shoot with another model, we can discuss that.
If you need a Psychiatrist,  we can discuss that.

I've enjoyed shooting with some really fine models.
Who knows,   you could be next.

Oh, yeah,   one more thing.

YOU WILL NOT SHOOT NUDE WITH ME

YOu may not shoot nude with me.

I will not shoot nude shots.   

The only way to get me to shoot nude shots  is if you present yourself in front of the camera  nude.  If so ,  a separate shooting nude agreement will be signed before any more shooting takes place.

I never felt I needed to be this hard until one model  didn't like how I answered the nude question  27 and 1/2  no 3/4 times. Beautiful $350 gorgeous decor suite for photos in a Toronto hotel.   I finally gave up and said  SURE  if you want to shoot nude I'll shoot you nude.  THEN she flipped.  Go figure.
sorry,  I'm just old and grumpy.  Did I mention I am just old.
I can't help it if I'm grumpy.
