I've been over due for a major update to my online portfolios due to some media work but it's coming soon...
MY STYLE
I aim to capture moments, emotions and moods instead of just "that look." I'll keep things relaxed and work
with you instead of around you. Just know that what I can do and what I will do aren't always the same thing. I'm a straight forward person with a positive mind set. As a photographer I take pictures. Graphic design skills are saved for.. graphic design. So, I don't massively edit my photos yet adjustments are made when needed since I shoot digital.
Please read before sending a message
MY DETAILS
I...
- shoot on location (indoor/outdoor)
- prefer to use scenery instead of backdrops
- am not a fan of wigs, weaves and colored contacts
- am particular about what I shoot for the public
- do not offer paid work (but I do make referrals)
- only shoot TFP selectively
- will assist with getting an MUA if requested
- don't mind if you bring someone for comfort
- won't hesitate to end shooting if I'm not comfortable
- reserve the right to be human (or close enough to it)
MY REQUESTS
Please...
- at least read everything before contacting me
- message me when sending a friend request (Give me reason to click Accept.)
- understand that I only schedule by phone not online
- do not hesitate to ask me a questions
- contact me through my site for a faster response (include your MM ID#)
- message me here for an intro, we'll exchange contact info then talk
- understand that I am not responsible if you did not read all of this
Note:
Paid work is taken with priority. If it even at least covers the cost of a meal and transportation, I'm more interested.
It's interesting how many will buy clothes for a shoot they refuse to pay for.

I can only take you as seriously as you take yourself...

ADVICE
Your portfolio represents you. If you don't want "that" kind of attention don't put up "those" kinds of photos. The quality of the your photos influences the kind of contacts you get. If you have questions don't assume, ask. If you have rates, make them available then make your presence known to who you'd like to shoot with. No need to solicit work.
Models, if your photos are revealing don't be surprised at the attention you get. Present yourself the way you'd like to be treated. Also, if you really like a photographer's work consider asking about rates. (It's how we make a living too.) If someone contacts you and you're not interested in shooting a simple "No thank you" works great.
Photographers, no need to convince someone to do what they're interested in doing. (It gives us all a bad name.) Describe your concept and if they're interested they'll say yes or no. If it involves nude or revealing photos it doesn't hurt to ask for rates.
