Do you like my work?

Do you think it adds something original, something beautiful to the world?

This work presented here, can not exist without monetary compensation. I can't exist as a photographer doing this level of work and this volume of work without compensation.

The talented team members who work with me can not exist without fair compensation.

If you like what I do. If you gain pleasure or inspiration from my work, then please buy a print from etsy. If you want to have work like mine done of you, your clothing, or showcasing your modeling or make-up and hair skills, then pay me a decent day rate so I can continue to work as an artist.

People say it never hurts to ask, but it does hurt. It hurts me, and it hurts my work. Many people on Model Mayhem work for no monetary payment, I am not one of them.

I can not do TFP, testing, or any other unpaid work. I really really mean this. 

I had several large financial blows this year, and I am going to assume that if you contact me it is for paid work. I may block people who contact me for non paying work.

Once in a blue moon I will contact someone, that is the only way to get a test shoot from me, for me to contact you first.


Recently I have started receiving emails from models, MUA's, and stylists asking about me submitting them for paid work. Please do not send me a message like that if we have never worked together before. It is spam.

Feel free to contact me about paying me to create work that fits your needs or if you need a custom quote for my services.


please do not give me the gift of MM VIP or premium membership. I do not want it.

HOWEVER if you really can't pay me I do take other forms of trade. Have an incredible once in a lifetime location for me to shoot one of my shoots in exchange for headshots for you? We might be able to arrange it. Maybe you are artist who creates one of a kind jewelry pieces, or corsets, hit me up and i can see what i can do.

I have been getting many requests from other photographers and retouchers to explain my color methods to them. I am sorry, but the way I do my post production is an integral part of my business model and I do not currently offer classes. However, if you google search terms like tri-color and technicolor and photoshop tutorials you will get great answers from other sources. They won't be how i do my work, but they can still help you get to where you need to go.
