~~~~I don't approve friend requests without prior human contact...I don't make friends with "strangers". Let's get acquainted. I welcome your feedback on my work.~~~~~
I want to challenge the norm and shred society's standards of what beauty, sexuality, pleasure, pain, eroticism, gender and sexual preference mean. I believe that each person's life is there own to do with what they want and I am here to capture that essence as best I can and to share a story.
I have worked as a print model and a makeup artist (ten years experience), as well as an actress so I know how challenging these fields can be. I have immense empathy and respect for all person's involved in the creation of the images you see in my port. I believe in pooling ideas and getting results that we can all be overjoyed with...and having fun while doing it. My shoots are EXTEMELY low stress and organic.
If you work with me in any capacity you must:
*NOT BE FLAKEY-Above all things, I despise flakey unreliable people and I am known to get a bit heated over this subject. I am here to create and if we are working on concepts and set a shoot date, I assume that you are serious as well. If you are not please admire my work from a distance and keep on strolling...I'd rather work with serious talent only!
*Do NOT be drunk, high or hung over when you show up for a shoot with me (yes...it's happened and it wasn't cute).
*Do NOT be ashamed, afraid or offended by the human body (yours or anybody else's for that matter!)
*Be able to stay for the entire duration of the shoot (as scheduled and agreed upon beforehand).
*Be willing to sign a model release if you are in front of the lens. If you are with an agency and they have issue with you signing a release prior to a single shot being taken then I am not the photographer you want to work with because that is not how I operate. I shoot to post images and do not want to be held to an agency's prior approval.
*For Models: Please come with a clean face if a makeup artist is involved in our collaboration. If you are doing your own makeup, please be camera ready and know.... my school of thought is "less is more" because we can always add more if we need too :-)
*Be able to come pick up your retouched images/disk within a reasonable time after the shoot. After hours of editing I just don't have the energy or time to deliver!
Models, Makeup Artists, Hair Stylists, Fashion Stylists......Come Hither! Paid jobs take priority but TFCD is always open to discussion because I just love this art form SO much!
Happy Creation!
