Welcome to my Model Mayhem Web Site:
I am both an
artist and
photographer. My work emcompasses a broad range, including: glamour, bodypainting, editorial, travel, nature, and architectural images. The reason for signing with Model Mayhem is to improve my networking with models who are literally my canvases.
Examples of my work have been published in a number of publications. I have traveled to over 60 countries and territories on 6 continents in order to create images that have real impact.
Latest Project:
I am completing a book on bodypainting. My photographic web sites showcase both my work as a painter and as an accomplished photographer. Just scroll down to click on my numerous links.
Paid Work/Hiring Flick Photographic:
Please don't hesitate to contact me for a price list for paid assignments. I will provide you or your company with quality work, delivered on time, and to your specifications. As a client you will be pleased with the results. Flick Photographic has a proven track record of providing images that either make you money, effectively reach your market, capture the right moment, or get you the opportunity you're seeking.
Limited TFCD with Models:
I am currently accepting test shoots (TFPs or TFCDs), although I am selective. I often receive more requests for TFCD than I can provide. I must balance TFCD with paid assignments. But it's either feast or famine, so don't let my perceived work load discourage you from asking. I enjoy working with enthusiastic newcomers who may have that certain aura, attitude, or unique look that makes a dramatic image. Model work requests should be related to my photographic resume of work, or my book on bodypainting. To contact me, e-mail through MM. Including both a direct e-mail address and contact phone number (with best time to call) demonstrates both your professionalism and your ability to be complete in your response.
Contact and Introductions:
For models who contact me, I may set up an introductory meeting over restaurant coffee to: 1) discuss a shoot's parameters; 2) see you in person prior to shooting; 3) demonstrate my sincerity; 4) hold our first meeting in a public place; 5) determine your commitment level for a pre-set appointment; and 6) ensure that you have all of your questions answered. By doing this I hopefully weed out in advance those who are prone to be "no-shows" on the day of the shoot. I can't stress the importance of the first meeting. It should be a good fit for both of us. When personalities click, the shoot is a lot of fun. For those who are just starting out, please know that professionalism, courtesy, and commitment are truly the keys to success in this industry.
A Valuable Message About Networking:
Never forget the power of networking. So important. By actually talking with photographers, make-up artists, stylists, and other models, you are sowing the seeds for more jobs in the future. The biggest mistake new or unprofessional models make is ignoring inquiries. You are your own ambassador and your actions speak loudly. Making lasting impressions is part of the craft of establishing working relationships and building alliances that result in repeat work assignments. To ignore this is to limit requests for future work. Taking the intiative to call make-up artists, stylists, and photographers is viewed as a positive "networking habit". The Rule to Follow: Networking will make you more money. Waiting for photographers to contact you just means wasted time with little income. Remember that you are in competition with other models. So take the initiative, make the call, and get that paid assignment.
Paid Assignments for Models:
They come regularly. Who do I contact when a client hires me? (It needs repeating.) I call those individuals who I've worked with before, usually on a previous TFCD shoot. I hire those models (on behalf of a paying client) with whom I have first established a working relationship. This is also my way of rewarding those who chose to work with me when the gain was quality images for their port. In other words, they believed that the quality of my work had its own value. Networking is everything.
Where I Shoot:
I photograph in locations all over
South Florida, including Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and extending north to Stuart and Ft. Pierce. Although I am based in West Palm Beach, I have set up a satellite studio in Ft. Pierce (
St. Lucie County). My satellite studio comes complete with several acres of woodlands, meadows, and an intracoastal waterway beach, all of which make picturesque photographic sets for shooting. I love nature and it figures prominently in my work. My Ft. Pierce location has staged me for an excellent opportunity to grow my business in the Port St. Lucie market.

Number of visitors since March 18, 2009:
A final observation about professionalism in modeling and TFP/TFCD shoots. I've learned to be selective about TFP/TFCD sessions. Obviously, time is valuable. Because of this, I only seek models that take direction well and are easy to work with. I am always open to a model's ideas and thrive on the process of collaboration. It makes my work even better. But, I treat TFP/TFCD as I would a paying client. I am on time and professional and I expect the same from my models. If you are a 'no show', please do not ask for another session. What is the reward for conducting yourself in a professional manner? You'll receive great photographs for your portfolio.
