Azeroth Prime: the Movie
Celebrating the Beauty of a Woman
"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief she is beautiful." --Sophia Loren
My PASSION for photography involves blending natural or studio lighting and a model's beauty. I entertain ideas for themes or outfits from the model and I also make suggestions that I think would suit her portfolio as well as add that dash of beauty to mine. I am easy to work with and comfortable with most styles.
I do not require any style to work with me. My work reflects all styles but I respect any limits by the model. I consider the female figure to be a unique art form, and as such to be appreciated and also respected.
A model has the option to bring a friend as escort to the shoot. I believe a model should be safe and comfortable, and an escort usually provides both! If you are under 18, I will work with you as long as I have parental support and attendance at the shoot.
My satisfaction comes in providing a model with good photos for her portfolio. The unedited files are uploaded immediately after the shoot, so the model can view and request the photos she wishes to be edited and retouched. Each model brings her unique personality and enthusiasm to the shoot.
So if you like my work, contact me to discuss a photo shoot. The result of working together creatively should be something that both of us should be proud of. That is what I strive to capture one frame at a time.

Ken is a sweet, charming man with a great sense of humor! He loves to talk, and he's a great one to talk to. As supportive as they come, Ken goes out of his way to help girls build up their portfolios by seeing the potential in them and pulling it out of them! I appreciate his willingness to work with my ideas and step outside the box. He isn't out to shoot just the high-fashion, runway stick figures; Ken appreciates a woman's beautiful curves and truly emphasizes that in his work!

Wow, what can I say about Ken! He has really pushed me to achieve great things through modeling and always makes me feel extremely comfortable (I love his compliments!). If you're looking to have a fun filled shoot and come out with some great photos, go to Ken! He always brings out the beauty of every model he works with. Not only is he an outstanding photographer, he has also become a wonderful friend of mine. :]

Ken is not only one of my dearest friends but a wonderful photographer too. If you are ever given the opportunity to work with him I recommend you take it!! He’s very professional in his work, and still cuts up and has a great time during the shoot. Even if it’s your very first shoot he knows how to make you feel comfortable and talk you through the poses and the shoot. There won’t be one moment while you're with him that you won’t feel nothing less than beautiful from all the sweet compliments and feedback!

"Working with Ken was as absolute pleasure! If you are looking to add some really great shots to your portfolio, he's your man. He has such a great attitude and is very professional. And that is just him as a person. As a photographer, he is wonderful as well! He will give direction when needed, knows a great shot when he sees it and is very open to any suggestions the model may have. Not to mention, the best photos I've seen coming from film! How do you do it?"

[i]"Ken is a wonderful man and photographer! He is very professional and yet still fun and easy going. His creativity is amazing and his ability to know when to snap that shot for just the right emotion is fantastic! I would recommend him as a photographer to any model and a friend to any person! New models really should try to work with him as he is very helpful with poses and makes you feel like he is just a new friend (very comfortable) that just happens to always have a camera! If you are considering working with Ken and you have any questions or doubts please feel free to drop in and ask all the questions you like! Ken Rocks I will work with him any day of the week!"

"I was one of the very first models Ken worked with when he first moved back to Atlanta, since then I've watched him grow in talent and gained an amazing friend! As a photographer Ken is always an absolute pleasure to work with. His charming and fun personality always make a shoot memorable. He's definitely one of my favorite photographers who I come back to over and over because he always has just enough guidance for some awesome ideas but also let's us, as models, explore our own creativity. Today, when anyone asks for a good photographer, Ken is always the first to pop in to mind. You'll love working with him, I know I have."
