UPDATE 10/11/09. I am no longer accepting TF shoots. I am willing to accept paid shoots. Please contact me for rates. If you have my cell phone number, message me for my home number. Cell is off
I took up photography as 'more than just something to do' following that little storm we had a few years ago. I started with concert photography (which I still do), but have moved on to model photography. I've been lucky to find some excellent models who I hope Ive done justice to. I look to improve my work and make some truly noteworthy images.
I work strictly TFP/TFCD. This is a hobby for me, albeit one I'm passionate about. I have a job that pays my bills and that job revolves around cash and cash flow. Assigning a cash value to this in any way would ruin it for me. This is my escape from that and, with the sole exception of my equipment, I have no interest in seeing cash transfer anywhere near my photography. I dont charge, I dont pay, I dont buy and I dont sell. (as of the economic meltdown, Im currently rethinking this decision)
I dont shoot pinup or fetish. Nothing against those styles, but they dont inspire my work at all.
Please, no one under the age of 18. Its not you: its your parents. I don't want the potential hassle.
Escorts If you demand an escort accompany you and I don't already know them, thank you for your interest but please don't contact me for a shoot. I shoot out of my house and an unaccompanied third person is a risk I'm unwilling to accept. My safety is as important to me as yours is to you. Please check my references, which are available on request.

Ive recently been shooting a lot of film. Im trying to line up some shoots that would take full advantage of that medium. I also seem to be gravitating more towards a journalistic style.
I'm also in the market for a local model, 18+ (see above for the 'why'), 5'6" or taller, with straight or wavy black hair, light skin tones, medium or smaller build, and green or blue eyes for a long-term project. Message if interested.
Models and designers love me!
