Hi. Thanks for taking the time to visit my profile. My name is Charles, I'm 32, I have a beautiful girlfriend named Thuy, I am located in Cross Lanes, WV, and I am on MM seeking talent.
I have been a portrait photographer for several years, have worked on a few large scale productions for ad agencies, have photographed several weddings, and shot countless senior portraits. While I love every aspect of my job, I have left the comfort of a traditional portrait studio environment to go into business for myself so I can be more creative with my photography, work with experienced models, and try to make every image I create a work of art, not just a photograph.
I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with some very lovely and talented models over the past few months and I appreciate their help with posing, makeup, and wardrobe ideas more than words can express. I would like to find more models, experienced or otherwise, that would like to help me take my skills beyond that of a traditional portrait photographer and more into the realms of fashion, fine art, and fantasy.
While I have creative ideas of my own, I am seeking male and female models who have their own ideas, and are looking for a photographer to make them a reality. I think the best models are the ones that can TAKE direction, and GIVE direction and input to make a shoot the best it can be.
So with all that being said, if you would like to work with me, let me know, I am open to most anything. If you like my work, please comment and let me know, let me know if you don't like it as well, I handle critiques very well. They only serve to make me a better photographer.
I like to work with models who are in their mid-twenties and older. Models in their 30's and 40's get preferred treatment for their wisdom.
All models please keep in mind that if you tell me you are going to work with me, and we set a date, I expect you to keep that date, or at least let me know ahead of time that you don't plan on showing up, your professionalism ensures that my studio isn't empty and not making money. If you flake out on a shoot and don't show up without giving notice, that was your one chance, unless of course something beyond tragic happened...
My services are always free if you contact me through MM. I will give you a CD of your finished, edited, images in return for use of your images in my portfolio. I do offer paid work from time to time, but only to models I have worked with before that I am sure are not flakes.
If you are a photographer and interested in working with any models I have worked with but aren't on MM, let me know, I can contact them for you.
Thanks for reading! Let's make some art!
