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 work and travel photos at:

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.
$$:
Not a lot, but enough to occasionally pay for models on projects.
Collaboration:
My goal is to develop ongoing working relationships with models, makeup artists, and stylists to collaborate on concepts that expand our artistic boundaries. If you are seeking to create art, want to test its bounds, and enjoy experimenting with photography, please 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. My evenings and weekends are (usually) dedicated to family.
Some Specific Projects:
My main focus is on casual and creative photography of models including retro pinup, lingerie, artistic nudes, and fetish; although I enjoy portrait and fashion photography as well, especially if there is an artistic edge, or offbeat, character to it. It would be a pleasure to show off what the local artists, models, and artisans can work together to create.
Recycled Clothing (long-term continuing project) - “clothing” made from unusual materials like metal, wood, paper, burlap, rope, leaves.... The trigger for this concept was a news article of a highschool student who made a grad out of garbage bags. Hopefully there are models and wardrobe stylists out there who would like to work with me on this one.
Eve – A lady, a snake, an apple tree, and maybe a fig leaf or three. This works into my “Original Sin” moniker.
Dungeons, Dangerous Damsels and Dragons – Gothic outfits, weapons, and your favourite reptile.
At the Carnival
Acrobatic or Circus Poses
Images showing balance, strength, contortion, grace and artistry; or inspirations from circus makeup and costumes.

Painted Ladies
Tattoos, piercings, wild makeup, bodypaint
Dancers
Show off your dance outfits; hip-hop, ballet, belly dancing, tango, disco, jive
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.

Abandoned Buildings - log or wood buildings, abandoned industrial buildings
In the Great Outdoors – I'd love to shoot models in the outdoor elements at different times of the year. Snow, Rain, leaves, barren trees, climbing the trees, in flowing water or a pond. On a rock face, in a cave...
Traditional Outfits – Ethnic outfits that reflect Canada's diversity.
Alice in Wonderland – cosplay/gothic wardrobe. I'm looking into locations and studio props for this one.
Latex and Old Lace – Retro pinup, burlesque, latex and corsets. I have a few latex outfits and corsets to start this off; of course models can bring their own.
Shibaru (Japanese Rope Bondage) – emphasis on decorative rope work.

Bound to a Cross – A little bondage project. I started building the cross at the start of summer, and then set it aside when summer activities took over. I expect to finish the cross as the rains return in September.
