I work in and around Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Whistler/Pemberton area and have over 20 years of experience taking landscape, environmental and construction images related to my work. You can see some of my unedited photos at:

(You will see that I also love art, architecture, urban settings, and food.)
My main focus is on casual and creative photography of models including retro pinup, lingerie, artistic nudes, and fetish; although I will work on some portrait and fashion photography as well, especially if there is an edge or offbeat character to it. I have enjoyed the opportunities to work with talented people, satisfy my artistic side and take chances with edgier or creative topics and images. I hope to get to the point of having some of my images published.
TFCD:
My perspective on TFCD shoots, is that both the model and I have equal copyrights to the images. My "model release" for TFCD sessions reflects that outlook. TFCD sessions are for projects that benefit both the model and me. I treat people with respect, and expect respect in return.
$$:
I also have a monthly budget to pay models for projects on which I would like to control copyright.
Collaboration:
My goal is to collaborate with models makeup artists and stylists on concepts that expand our artistic boundaries. wardrobe. If you enjoy experimenting with photography and have a concept you would like to work on, at a location or in my studio, contact me through my e-mail address:
pebbols@gmail.com
Typically my availability is for a few shoots a month, between the hours of 9 and 5, Monday to Friday.
Some Specific Projects:
Alice in Wonderland – cosplay/gothic wardrobe. I'm looking into locations and studio props for this one.
Recycled Clothing (long-term continuing project) - “clothing” made from unusual materials like metal, wood, paper, burlap, rope, leaves.... My inspiration on this one was a story of a grad dress that was made of garbage bags. It would be helpful if there is a wardrobe stylist out there who would like to work with me on this one.
Eve – A lady, a snake, and an apple tree.
Acrobatic or Circus Poses – Combinations showing balance, strength, contortion, grace and artistry; or inspirations from circus makeup and costumes.

Ship Figureheads (long-term continuing project) – it's all in the pose, since these came in various types and levels of attire. I have been doing some free poses on this concept, and hope to have a frame and rigging built soon on which to pose the models. The range of options can go from mild to extreme; so it can be easily adapted to the style requirements and comfort level of the model.
