I am based in Eugene Oregon. I shoot frequently in Eugene, Portland and southern Oregon.
I do not shoot for or sell images to adult content providers. I shoot nude work for artistic and editorial uses only and aim to create work that showcases the body, sensuality and sexuality in a positive way.
Any of my top 12 friends can be contacted for references, as they are all people who I have worked with or know personally. I would also recommend any of them as well. However feel free to ask any model I have worked with for a reference. You will hear the same thing from any of them.
I do not pay models unless I am shooting for a third party client. I am more interested in creative collaborations that stretch the creativity and enhance the catalogs of everyone involved. I am primarily interested in team oriented shoots with makeup and hair and styling attended to. I never base pay on whether the work involves nudity or not. I pay solely based on the end usage for the image. If it's for portfolio use or editorial use, there is no pay. Period. End of story. In the event an image sells after the fact, I will make every effort to share the proceeds with those involved.
Regarding TF shoots: I work with a team and do not shoot concepts outside of my own portfolio pursuits for free. I have artistic pursuits and publication goals for which I will trade time for. In those cases I am happy to shoot an additional look or two of the models choosing. However please don't ask me to shoot something that would not fit in my portfolio or significantly improve it for free. Models parrticipating in trade shoots will receive selected fully edited images for portfolio use only.
