Karl Shreeves

Most of my photography involves lifestyle and training, and related fashion, fashion-style portraiture, dramatic portraiture, catalog modeling, etc. Much, but certainly not all, involves scuba and underwater exploration produced by a team that includes specialized professional full and part time models. These take place both in the studio and in the field. Not all of this is underwater work, though obviously much of it is.

Beyond these, my personal projects are both related and unrelated to scuba. These may be for pay, for personal interest or to support a worthy cause. Most of these are fashion, dramatic and traditional portraits, beauty, and product. Some of these are editorial that include written work as well as photography.

I  shoot TF as a way to meet and gain experience with new models, to expand my skills in new directions and to take on projects that interest me. This especially includes editorial and commercial fashion (studio, location and underwater) and beauty. Not that this is a promise or guarantee, but we have hired several models and MUAs for paid shoots after working TF with them -- when I have a tight deadline, I contact those whose work I know I can count on.

If you're interested in working with me, time is a primary limitation, but please send me a message because I'm always looking for something new to work on, and someone new to work with.

Given the purpose of the Model Mayhem, the selection in my MM portfolio is exclusively work done with models. Obviously, there's not sufficient room for all the types of shots that my work demands, such as dramatic portraits, product, etc. Click on the link to my zenfolio page to see more and other types of images.

Much of my work involves models of both genders in swimsuits and bodysuits, but I'm not accepting assignments or interested in projects that could be considered sexually explicit, overtly suggestive or involve 18+ nudity (even artistic). I have 3 or more people on set when working (counting talent) and models/MUAs are welcome to bring escorts.

Often I get requests to do underwater fashion photography. These are rewarding when we can schedule them, but they are more difficult (for the model) than they appear. Generally, I prefer an initial studio or other conventional fashion-type shoot before going underwater. If this interests you, please contact me, but be aware you need to be very comfortable in water.

If you send a friend request, I'd appreciate a message first.
