I'm taking a break from new shoots to catch up on edits and to handle general life events. You will continue to see new work posted here, so please stop by when you can!

BRANDENBURG PHOTOGRAPHY
I have a wide range of taste, but I prefer the darker side of art, with emotion, expression, feeling and mood. My photography is non-commercial. I do not pay models to work with me. If you contact me for a collaboration I will assume it's for trade.
VAGUE PROJECTS, INTERESTS & RANDOM PATHWAYS TO HELL:
• Excess, Insanity, Dream, Despair
• Anti-Glamour
• Eros, Pathos, Alternative, Fetish
• The Aesthetic Boundary where Form meets Abstraction
Yes, I continue to fall in and out of love with Beauty. Generally though,
Beauty has betrayed me, but Darkness has always been true.
VARIOUS BORING STUFFS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
I understand that some models may want an escort. We can usually work something out, but please discuss it before the shoot.
In addition to the standard model release, I will need to copy your driver's license or other government issued photo ID in compliance with Title 18 U.S.C. § 2257 as required by law. This is about age verification and the information remains confidential and locked.
Sometimes nudity is appropriate for my work, sometimes not. But if you are uncomfortable with your body or worried about what is showing and what is hidden, we will not work well together on anything.
For implied nudes I will create implied photographs.
After our shoot I will select and edit the very best photos. This process can take 3-6 weeks or longer, depending on my workload. I will not release photos I don't like, and will not rush the process.
How many TF* images will you get? Usually two or three or more. It depends on how things go. No one knows how many good images will come from any shoot. And what does "good" mean anyway? I try my very best to get one killer photo per look or concept. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I get so many strong shots that it's hard to choose! But if your heart is set on getting lots of pictures that your family will just love... I am not the guy for you.
Like most serious photographers, I do not release full size digital images unless we have a mutually signed Usage Agreement. This arrangement is rare.
I need image comments to get your feedback and feel all warm and fuzzy - and I avoid friend-collectors who do not bother to look at my work.

FIRST PLACE - CONCEPT SHOT OF THE DAY

CAROUSEL OBSCURA
Images in this portfolio watermarked
"CAROUSEL OBSCURA" are my captures with all post production by Elke Dennis. Elke is a personal friend and creative genius. Without her help on so many things I would go back to playing chess and drooling.
Please be aware of my limits: I will not shoot any snuff, non-consensual sex, torture, asphyxiation, animal sex, hardcore bondage with sex and blood, necrophilia, vomit, pissing on people, drinking piss, blood or bodily fluids, or the crushing of crabs, lobsters, spiders, fish, scorpions, lizards, frogs or children. If your request involves any of the above I regret that I will be unable to shoot it.
