UPDATE: I'm currently building out a commercial studio in Mountain View, CA and looking to work with models, stylists, hair & makeup artists, etc. for a few portfolio test shoots to get the studio "broken-in" once it's up and running. I also work with an equipment rental website, so I have access to pretty much everything made for Canon & Nikon, as well as a bunch of Profoto and White Lightning gear; all this needs to be "test-driven" over time so I can better help clients I deal with on a daily basis.
After starting my post-high-school studies at Boston University, I received my formal training in photography at the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Northwestern Massachusetts. I have since worked in many facets of the photography industry, and continue to do so...
I am posting my profile with ModelMayhem to maintain connections/networking within the industry for paid and selective TFP/TFCD portfolio projects that intrigue me. I'm happy to offer discounted rates to new models for portfolio building shoots.
I’m always looking for interesting ideas and more specific interpretations of my own, which tend to be very general until I meet with a model. Basically my concepts center around trying to develop an element of conflict/contrast in the photo through both visual and psychological elements. If its turns out that we are likely a good fit to work together, more specifics will certainly be determined based on the look and interests of the model. I'd really like to stick someone to a ceiling or giant school desk set piece with 10lb + of chewing gum sometime and hopefully it makes for interesting photos; that's how my mind works.... slightly more mundne would be just pairing a model (likely in vintage clothing) with an actual tobacco pipe, but blowing soap bubbles (even if it is cliche; I don't care).
Yes, there is a self-portrait on my profile of me with a parasol; no, I am not the blonde girl in the cool-toned image.
Thank You For Your Interest,
