...unless it's something i really can't pass up or I actually say i would like to work with you.
Lets see, where to start. I used to go by the name Potomac Exposure. I changed it to my name because people on the west coast had issues saying the word Potomac (pronounced PO-TOE-MACK).
The first two images below are of Honey, my Maltese Terrier mix buddy who was my best friend for 16+ years, he passed away in August 2008 (RIP) and of Jovi, a toy Yorkie who's a bundle of energy and affection and somewhat of a perv (I've had to replace several pillows because of his horniness).
Thought I'd share that "Damn, Mike is fairy!" moment with you.

PHOTO SHOOTS
Photo shoots are done on location 50% of the time, the other 50% is in studio. During the hot months in Vegas, photo shoots are done about 95% in studio.
All models
must have an MUA or can do their own makeup, no exception. If you do not have an MUA or cannot do your own makeup, I work with several that I can recommend, and will fit your price range.
Escorts are free to come along, but once shooting starts, they are at least 50 yards away BEHIND or TO EITHER SIDE of the model (perhaps a slight exaggeration there
). I don't want to be distracted, and more importantly, I do not want YOU, the model to be distracted.
ABOUT MYSELF:
My background is in event, sports, portraits, glamour, fashion and editorial. Concentration the last two years has been glamour, but I've shot everything on a professional level.
All the posing/direction in my shoots are all my own personal idea's or the model’s, and my shoots run very quick, I only take about 20-30 shots per look, then we move on.
I love what I do 99% of the time, and I take the time and effort to ensure that every shoot is fun and interesting.
WHAT MODELS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH MICHAEL M PEREZ
This dude is a freaking pimp! Any time I need a woman at my photo shoot, he's the playa to call! I'm telling you! - Rampage Jackson, Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion
His freaking contact lens pop out of his eye when I did implied nude set with him. Talk about being unprofessional!
- Samantha Kelley
He continually asked me to put shoes on, I think he has a shoe fetish, I offered to take off my top and all he kept saying was put on high heels! Then we went to this place I wanted to go to a dim sum place and thought they were still serving dim sum, but found out they stopped serving dim sum in the afternoon, so we spent the rest of the evening looking at my photos and eating shrimp fried rice and long noodles with shrimp. - Tamara aka Miss RaRa of UG on MMA.tv.
Michael! It was a pleasure meeting/ working w you! James and I had alot of fun and I'd love to do it again, neighbor! (That's crazy we are 3 miles apart!) My favorite part of the day was the steak dinner! Man, do you know how to feed a girl after a long shoot! lol. WE HAVE TO EAT OUT AGAIN!
- SLW
Michael is really goofy! He was more interested in my boyfriend's band than shooting me. Uh hello, Jamie Eason here!!! - Jamie Eason
He made me flash a 12 year old boy, and what's even worse, the little boy wasn't impressed one bit! I'm going to hell... - Lauren Rachel
So lets see....he said I was going to meet the stars of the movie Never Back Down, but he left his phone at home while he supposedly was interviewing them, then he promised me and my hot friend Jodie dinner, but lost his wallet, my father thought he was trying to rape me when we were at my house because I started screaming when he was actually just trying to push me into the pool, and when he finally took me out for dinner, I got food poisoning. Drama follows this guy like the guys that follow me around the club who keep staring at my ass! I would definitely do another photo shoot with him though as he's a great photographer! - Katrina
He's always taking photos of me, I never see them, but people tell me they see them in magazines all the time, so he must be ok to work with. Ha! Just kidding, I would so be into him but I'm not into short, chubby, balding guys! - Noy Alexander
HOLY! He bought a large pepperoni and I ate the entire thing! Just me! Not him and me, JUST ME! What the...?!? It was so good though. I think I'm going to be sick! - Arianny Celeste, UFC Ring Girl
Michael knows the best buffets in Las Vegas, oh and he's an OK photographer, not great, just OK. - Hayley Michaels
OMG, this guy can find popcorn anywhere, I love popcorn! - Sarafina from Canada
Michael took me to a level b thai restaurant in LA, sort of like a second hand restaurant if that's possible, and first off, I don't like thai food, and second, he didn't care. Nevertheless, according to him, the food was good and I did get into Ultimate Grappling Magazine because of him
- Michelle C
First we went to eat sushi, then we went to cheesecake factory, then we were going to get bubble tea! OMG, are we pigs or what?!? So we're supposedly having a monthly sushi get-together but like all the other men in my life, he don't call me, I haven't heard from him in a long time! - Laura Christine
Michael took me to a steak house somewhere outside LA and damn if I couldn't cut that damn steak to save my life! Other than that, he's cool and I got in a mag cause of him. Oh and also, all the waiters thought I was smoking hot! - Sivan
Michael wouldn't stop staring at my boobs during our shoot because he said it reminded him of watermelons and he hadn't eaten all day! - Magin Lee
Hmmmmmmmm, he didn't take me out to eat and I'm still waiting for my f'ing images! Nevertheless, he's still a great photographer, though I've yet to see any of my images
- Lisa Angeline
I don't even think he really takes photos! He's cancelled on me like 5 times! Who cancels on me, I'm the hottest model on the planet! - Meredith Andrus
WHAT PHOTOGRAPHERS SAY ABOUT MICHAEL M PEREZ
Michael was a righteous bro and he would drive me to the beer store every night when I wasn't too soused and could find the door. He taught me a lot about "relationships" and he even let me assist on some shoots. I learned a ton and everything was copacetic until he was picked up for kidnapping. Oh well, I hope to hook back up when his parole allows him back in the state. - Bruce Muir, Fashion Photographer and Liver Transplant Survivor
He stole my idea of taking photos of models using the rule of thirds method. My feet are cold. - Christopher Brady, Lilly on Face Photographer
I never heard of him. - Dan Doyle
I don't know about being a photographer, but I do know he's an below average martial artist. - Luis Aragon
His stuff is ok, I suppose, if you like crap. - Ward
Michael asked if he could use my photography studio in San Diego when he was planning a visit, I said no. - Timothy Weiss
What is your name again? Do I know you? How about you come be my assistant and work for me? We can go to Red Rock and I can show you how to really shoot there since no one else in your area knows how too!
HAHAHA! Awesome meeting you man! See you again soon! - Brent Allen
Uh, small dogs, always talking about Rich Luzzi of Revelation Theory instead of his hot babe Jamie Eason, how he fantasizes about smelling Roger "El Matador" Huerta's fighting shorts, not that there's anything wrong with it, but my gay-dar is definitely picking up on something with Michael - Wendi Satio, Aftermath MMA Staff Photographer who definitely should be in front of the camera as well as behind it.
