I believe a successful shoot should involve mutual collaboration between all involved. It should be fun, relaxed, and free of stress, drama, rudeness, and huge egos that are all to frequently encountered.
My rates are extremely reasonable, and I’ll spend a ridiculous amount of time and effort to provide you with images that will you can be proud of.
I’m not opposed to travel if expenses are covered.
A note about tags, lists, comments, etc: I'm aware that there are MM members who trade comments, indiscriminately add photos to a multitude of different lists, and cut & paste generic tags suggesting that we shoot on every new model's profile. There's nothing wrong with with that, and I realize that it's just part of being social in our high tech world. If I have commented or listed your photo, added a tag to your page, or inquired about working with you please know that I'm completely sincere and I have not just finished sending an identical message or placed an identical tag/comment on dozens of other profiles.
A note about TFCD: Yes, I do TFCD shoots, but lately I find that I have to be selective because my time is very limited. I wish that I had time and resources to work with everyone on a TFCD basis. Unfortunately I don't, so it's important to me to make the most of it when I have the rare opportunity to shoot TFCD. The appearance and commercial marketability of the model is always secondary to personality, reliability, and professionalism.
However..... If you have a idea or concept that you think would be mutually beneficial for each of our portfolios, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Some of my current interests for TFCD projects are listed below, but the list isn’t all inclusive:
1 Images that would help fill voids in my portfolio. (Currently, I need some tasteful maternity images)
2. Retro, Noir, Nostalgic, PG rated pin-up, and Rockabilly projects.
3. Shots that feature locations (farms, old industrial areas, barns, wilderness, ruins, etc) or props (old farm equipment, tractors, animals such as dogs, puppies, horses, etc) that interest me.
4. I'd like to do one or two cosplay shoots.
5. I've always wanted to do a shoot with someone who owns a pet monkey.
I can be messaged through MM, or contacted by e mail at chris@chrisozmentphotography.com, or through MySpace (
