I'm booked for FetCon 2010. Yea. That's right. I'll be there. Want to shoot? I'll be there Thursday-Sunday
so. Let's point out the obvious first. I'm a female photographer. I'm published (in print and online) and would not consider myself an amateur.
If you are contacting me on this port, I assume it is because you are willing to do the things shown in this port. If you are not willing, maybe you should check out my more mainstream port and contact me through there.
I do not pay models. I can't afford to. There are models who I would pay if my wallet would allow, and I have dished out money to shoot with people before. However, most people who seem to enjoy throwing rates at me are people whose ports are far below the standard that I believe my port has. This is not to be rude, it is just fact. If your portfolio is not up to par with mine, that's not a problem, just don't send me your rates cause I'll send you mine in return.
That being said, I rarely shoot TF*. That's a lie. I shoot TF* all the time, but only for certain things/people. Want to know if I'll shoot you for TF*? Well, look through my Lists and see if you find your face on there. If so, I probably want to shoot you and will do so TF*. If you're not on one of my lists, ask yourself if you're willing to do any of the following: artistic nudes, lite fetish (fetish does NOT always mean bondage and latex folks), Zivity, or content trade. Still no? hm. well. Do you have an awesome wardrobe? Are you unbelievably smoking hot? Special skills? Can you breathe fire? Were you recommended to me by another model/photographer? Message me dudes. I swear, I'm nice. The worst I can say is "I'm sorry but I don't think your look will help benefit my port at this time. However, I do shoots for $75. You interested?"
My rate is ridiculously low. $75 is no where near what I believe my time is worth for a photoshoot AND editing. So why is it so low? Because I want to be affordable. Being affordable means that anyone and everyone can afford a shoot with me. I promise that you will not find anyone whose talent is equal or better than mine for a rate so low. If you do, well, have fun but don't come back to me saying "so and so is better than you and does shoots for $X" I'm not so and so. I am me. $75 is reasonable for anyone who is capable of saving $25 out of their paychecks for 3 weeks.
If you've actually read this far down, I'm going to go ahead and go out on a limb and say I'm impressed already. See, I'm the kind of person who likes intelligence. I enjoy wit and humor, but nothing is sexier than a gal who can read! So, if you've read this far down and actually can prove that to me in some way, I'll probably shoot ya free just for that. But, you'll have to send me a message because I can't read smoke signals, I don't know sign language and if you wave flags at me, I'll think you're crazy.
Content Trade I do content trade! A lot of it. I will trade content for pay sites, clips4sale, etc. I work as both a model and photographer, and can provide references as both. Content trade can be both video and photos. To do a content trade, it must be beneficial to BOTH of us, hence the name trade.
You can find me on... AIM iamyourpirate or YIM megschutzphotography or twitter or blogspot

Random about me stuff you may (or may not) care to know: I'm 21 years young. Lived in FL my whole life, with the exception of a far too brief 5 month stay in Sydney, Australia, where I plan on moving back to by age 25. I've been photographing people for only about 2 years. I love traveling, and do so as often as possible. I'm a late night Denny's kind of gal. I say words like "neat" and "spiffy", and I love wine. I'm a part time student as well as working as a receptionist as my day job. I love bad movies. I have the best boyfriend in the world. I'm addicted to TrueBlood on HBO/the Sookie Stackhouse novels.
If you'd like recommendations for any of these people before working with them, send a message and I'd be happy to share my experiences.
Unfortunately, I also have a black list. A list of people who have been no calls, no shows, people who have repeatedly flaked, lied, stolen, were just plain rude or any other number of reasons why I would not work with them again. I will provide this list only if asked and only if you are completely serious about it. I'm not here to talk shit about people. I'm here to create beautiful things.
