I'm getting back into shooting as I have time, and building a wish list of concepts and collaborations. Message me if you are interested. I will consider working TF with special or unusual models and concepts.

BRANDENBURG PHOTOGRAPHY
I prefer the darker side of art, with emotion, expression, feeling and mood.
Beauty has betrayed me, but Darkness has always been true.
VAGUE PROJECTS, INTERESTS & RANDOM PATHWAYS TO HELL:
Art, Abstraction, Experimental, Insanity, Dream, Despair, Excess, Chaos, Anti-Glamour, Alternative, etc.
Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. __Susan Sontag
VARIOUS BORING STUFFS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
I do not pay models to work with me. If you contact me for a collaboration I assume it's for trade.
Some models may want an escort. That's fine, 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. Let's talk before the shoot. But, but, but ... if you are uncomfortable with your body or worried/distracted about what is showing or not, we will not work well together.
For implied nudes I will create implied photographs.
After our shoot I will select and edit the very best photos. This process can take 2-4 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!
If your heart is set on getting lots of pictures that your whole family will just love... I am not the photog 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.
CAROUSEL OBSCURA
Images in this portfolio watermarked
"CAROUSEL OBSCURA" are my captures with all post production by Elke Dennis. Many of my other images are also retouched / stylized / edited by her and are so credited. Elke is a personal friend and creative genius. Without her help on so many things I would go back to playing chess and drooling.
QUOTES AND THOUGHTS:
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
_Jack Kerouac, On The Road
Sanity is not truth. Sanity is conformity to what is socially expected. Truth is sometimes in conformity, sometimes not.
__Robert M. Pirsig
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
__Waters & Gilmour, from "Wish You Were Here"
