READ THIS PLEASE
I am a portrait/figurative artist (I draw/paint) that also happens to enjoy the relatively instant gratification of photography so my portfolio currently includes both drawings and photos. Before going any further I wish to emphasize a point of clarification on my drawings. They are based on photos I take. As they are highly finished, realistic/photo realistic in style and scaled close to life size they can take well over 100 hours of labor to complete and so I cannot promise to do one from every shoot. That said my interest is in creating artwork expressive of sensuality, emotion, color, light, and the beauty of the female form while enjoying the collaborative process between the model and myself.
If you would like to work with me it is best to be direct so please feel free to email me and I will get back with you. Sorry but I only work for trade (write me for details), preferring to work with those who are motivated and inspired by creativity rather than money. Unfortunately I have also been forced to become quite selective about who I will work with. Integrity, common courtesy, good communication, and a creative nature are always helpful when contacting me about a shoot.
While my drawings focus on portraiture and figurative work I tend to photograph anything that catches my eye. A more extensive gallery of my work, including my non model photography, may be viewed here:

These days if I send you a friend request it means I either have an interest in working with you or very much respect your work/talent. Other than that I am not really into the whole "friend" thing on here so if you send me one and I don't add you please don't take it personally. If you do send me one though I much prefer a tag or a note to go with it. Not too much to ask is it?
Serious inquiries only please.
Thanks,
Steve
