Jim Goodwin

I'm always looking for new talent to work with, and prior modeling experience is not necessary. I also welcome new ideas for collaborative efforts with models in creating artistic works.  Please don't hesitate to provide comments/critiques, ask questions, or just shoot the breeze. 

I offer reasonable rates for great portfolio shoots.

I hire select models for commercial projects.

I do limited TFP work for artistic expression.

I teach photographic lighting and model posing seminars.

UPDATE for photographers: Right now I'm scheduling a series of photographic lighting classes. The emphasis will be on a series of lighting courses, each one specializing on a different topic like studio lighting, outdoor/location, portraiture, commercial, artistic, glamour, and fashion. I will also offer a basic photography class for those who may want to gain a better foundation before moving up to some of the more advanced concepts. In the meantime, I will continue to do one-on-one instruction/workshops custom tailored to meet individual goals. This is still one of the most efficient ways to achieve your goals since you don't have to sit through stuff you already know, and I can show you exactly how to get the results you want based on your personal preference and style. In either case, the things you will learn will not only enable you to bring your own vision to life, but also save you money in the process. If by chance you know of two or three other people interested in learning the same topic at the same time, I can go ahead and custom-tailor a class for your group based around your scheduling needs. Smaller classes seem to work out better since we will be doing mostly a demonstration/performance based training with some knowledge-based light theory serving as the foundation for what you will be doing. Classes are conducted in my studio in Phoenix, and studio rental is also available for your own projects.
