About me
Storyboard Project Slide Shows (Flash player required):

"Superman's Transformation" featuring Christopher Erickson and "The Last Phone Booth" 
"Cooking Mama" featuring Devi 1313 as the popular video game character
"Weary Traveler" featuring Cali Girl Meg who worked really hard to look so frazzled for this!
"Stranded Bride" featuring Mandi L. and Treja in their adventures on the way to the church

These are my first attempts at this kind of thing so comments by PM would be appreciated! 

***

I'm relatively new to fashion, glamour, and artistic photography, having mainly covered Anime conventions and shot in nightclubs for social networking web sites.  This may never be my day job, but I enjoy the opportunity for a little artistic expression.  I've been building up a group of models and MUAs that I can collaborate with on concept shoots through contacts made on Model Mayhem.  I'm still open to doing TFCD shoots with models in the area, so feel free to contact me! 

I use a standard Adult Model Release form for all shoots.  I welcome collaborations with minors, however I require that a parent or legal guardian escort the model to the shoot, sign a standard Minor Model Release form, and remain close by while we work.  The release forms can be modified if necessary to accommodate special circumstances.  Due to several recent unfortunate incidents, I prefer to shoot adults without escorts.  I'm happy to meet someone's concerned friend or family member before the shoot as we complete the paperwork, however.   

NOTE:  I do not retouch the shots that I take!  Almost everything that you see in my portfolio is just how it came from the camera.  Altered images can be spotted by the credit to the digital artist.  At this point in my development as a photographer I strive to capture reality as faithfully as possible.  I have no problem with others retouching my work as long as they take credit. 

A couple of notes about my Friends list: I only add people that I've worked with so that the list is more meaningful.  My Top 12 is arranged in order of most-recent collaborator first, so please don't be offended if you drop off that list.  Just shoot with me again to regain the top spot!

It's getting to the point where, thanks to all the talented individuals I've worked with, I can no longer keep at least one shot from every model I've collaborated with on my port.  To work around this, I've established a list of "Conpix Photos on Other Profiles".  You can view the images from our shoots on their profiles as well as check their other work.  The list is arranged with the oldest material appearing first. 

As of July 2009 when I found out that only 300 images will display in a list, I've moved my oldest work to Older Conpix Photos on Other Profiles"

There's also a list for Conpix  Photos Retouched by Others.  Check out their modifications to the shots! 

Where did the "18+" and other non-mainstream stuff go?  It's been moved to Conpix Annex, a secondary profile for my more experimental work.  Check it out. 

I also have a new profile for my work with male models:  Conpix Male

And one for ModelMayhem members who are cosplayers:  Conpix Cosplay

I was reading your tags and oh man, you are so popular! You're super cool and super talented though so if you weren't popular that would be weird. I actually found a tag I had left you from our first shoot in June! That's crazy! It was so long ago~ Well not really but it seems like it :P

Thank you!
I enjoyed the shoot and was amazed how 7 hours went by and I wasn't ready to stop shooting! I LOVED the pictures and still trying to figure out how they look so great with out being touched up. . . . . .Let's not forget my eyes - you captured that amber glow my mom saw when she named me. That just speaks for itself as those colors only come out with photoshop or by accident.
I am very excited to see which photo's you decide to put up on your page.

If you would like to shoot again I would be more than happy to pose!

Thank You, Thank You & Thank You!!!!!

You truley are a great photographer.

Great pleasure as always! I appreciate that you allow me my artistic freedom while contributing your own. More like hanging out rather than working a shoot. Thank you!
