CJL Photographer

Hello MM'ers

ATTENTION MODELS THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH; 

NEWS FLASH TO ALL MODELS

DUE TO MY CURRENT BACKLOG OF SHOOTS AND MY TRAVELLING SCHEDULE , UNLESS YOU LIVE IN A STATE OR COUNTRY THAT I WILL BE VISITING; ALL SHOOTS ARE BEING PUT OFF UNTIL SPRING/SUMMER 2012, OR EARLIER FOR THOSE WHO I HAVE INTERVIEWED AND/OR SPOKEN WITH, THAT HAVE VERY FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES. NOTE THAT WHEN YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING FOR FREE WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED; YOU GET SWAMPED WITH REQUESTS AND REFERRALS.

  My name is Charles, Sr. I have many titles that I answer to, on this site I am a freelance photographer that is currently working on a number of  projects. These projects include but are not limited to the following:  private photo/gallery showings, calenders, tabletop books, exhibits, fashion shows (very limited ones), body parts, swimwear, editorials, underwear, high fashion (limited), advertising/campaigns, collaborations with models for their profolios, and with some SELECTED models; edgy shots, body paint, artistic, etc. Also note that FITNESS MODELS are priority shoots for me at this time..

Because I am a Semi-pro basketball coach here in Los Angeles, I lend toward the fitness models more than any one group. I am bias only for the priority standpoint, that fitness models receive the first priority. Otherwise, I will work with anybody to help better themselves. So, if you see the names Coach, Pops, etc. that is because I have various relationships with the models I shoot at many levels of respect. I do not take pictures for a living. I am retired from a wonderful government job. (FYI)

I am doing some TFCD's for a select group of models that can show me that they are serious about trying to make it in this industry and/or that have, what they call, marketable looks and/or talents. A limited amount of models are being choosen from outside of California/Internationally to come out West for shoots during 2012. All expenses paid. These will be very select models with tons of potential; (marketability, appearance, communication skills, and flexibility). I DO NOT, HAVE NOT, and WILL NOT pay models to shoot them. If you're choosen than it will be on your merit to be marketable in this field.

NOTE:  I GIVE YOU YOUR PICTURES ON CD"s AND THE NEGATIVES OF ALL SHOTS TAKEN, FOR A REASON; THAT BEING, TO DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THEM.  FOR YOU TO KEEP AND HAVE AT YOUR DISPOSAL. THEY ARE THE ONLY SET OF NEGATIVES, SO DON'T MISPLACE/LOSE THEM. I AM SLOWLY CONVERTING TO SHOOTING WITH MY NEW DIGITAL CAMERAS, THEREFORE NEGATIVES WON'T BE GIVEN WHEN I CONVERT OVER, JUST CD'S.

If you are interested in having a photo shoot with me or want some advice or opinions on a subject relating to the business/industry or just want more information about myself or why I do what I do, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at:

I will answer all inquires as soon as possible. My plan for 2012 is to also get as many of the models I shoot, as much paid work as they can handle and if possible get them signed with an honest agency. It is a very hard job because the competition is so great. I am also looking to place some models in a position to take charge of some of my many responsibilities and/or to setup their own business.
Please; ONLY THE SERIOUS RESPOND TO MY INVITATIONS:::::::
