Listen up!
I am highly creative outdoor photographer that does very limited indoor shooting, all depending on the attire.
If your a lazy model who loves solid backgrounds or loves working with photographers who loves them, then by all means please work with them.
I use more of a natural, nice, elegant setting when I am indoors. More like a magazine setting. So if you like BORING solid backgrounds, then please let me know so I can bring them for you

What to expect when working with me:
I am creative photographer that gives great direction in order to insure your shoot is a success. Most photographers now days will schedule you for a shoot, shoot you, but won't help at all with poses, attire, etc. Me, I will help you as much as I can, as long as you let me know you need my assistance in advance. I am ball of creative energy so feel free to pick my brain for shoot ideas, concepts, etc.
FAQ's:
Q: Do you have a model release form for me to sign?
A: Of course I do. That is photography 101. My model release form is a non-exclusive form that gives you and me both the rights to use the images for promotional / commercial purposes.
================================================
Q: Do I have to shoot NUDE in order to shoot with you?
A: NO! I shoot all areas and understand and respect that every model is different. You tell me your modeling areas, and I shoot them. So if you more of a casual, glamour, and commercial/print model, then that is what we will shoot! I will not mention any other areas outside of the areas you tell me your interested in shooting.
================================================
Q: Do you shoot indoor or outdoors?
A: I am mainly an outdoor photographer. I shoot indoors as well but when I do, I do not use solid backgrounds. I use more of a natural, nice, elegant setting when I am indoors. More like a magazine setting. So if you like BORING solid backgrounds, then please let me know so I can bring them for you
================================================
Q: How long would my shoot be?
A: Your shoot will be from 2 - 2.5 hrs. In order for you to get your full amount of shoot time, I strongly urge you to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the start of your shoot time. If you arrive late, that is fine. However, that will cut into the time time of your shoot. So I say all that to say this......Do not be on time, Be early for your shoot! Arrive in your 1st outfit to save time. Preparation is key!
================================================
Q: Do you provide the Attire / M.U.A / Hairstylist?
A: I do not provide none of these for a shoot! I am a photographer and my job is to give you the highest quality of images as possible to get you more work in the industry. If you need an M.U.A (makeup artist) or Hairstylist, I can help you find one or you can bring one to the shoot or just get it done before the shoot.
================================================
Q: How long does it take before I receive my images?
A: If I have traveled to your area, then it takes 24hrs to receive your images. Depending on the time we shoot (late night), I can give you your images right after the shoot
Other than that, you can come back the following day to pick them up.
================================================
Q: Do you put the images on a CD or Flash Drive?
A: Your images will be placed on a flash drive that is brought by you. If you do not bring a flash drive with you to the shoot, then an email transfer will be done. However, the size will be reduced for transfer purposes. The larger the file, the longer it takes to upload. So imagine if you have 300+ images all at 10MB a piece? It would take forever. On a flash drive, the transfer would almost instant!
================================================
Q: Where can I get a flash drive (jump drive) and what size?
A: A 1GB or 2GB flash drive (jump drive) is what you will need to bring to the shoot. You can purchase one at Walgreen's, Wal - Mart, Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. Please, remove the flash drive from the package.
================================================
Q: Can I bring someone with me to the shoot?
A: I usually do not allow anyone at my shoots, however, if that is going to be the deciding factor if you decide to shoot or not, then please bring 1 person with you
================================================
Q: Do you shoot Plus Size Models?
A: Yes, I do. I am still uploading the images to please be patient. All my plus size models out there, let's make it happen
================================================
Q: Do you shoot male models?
A: Yes I do! I just started shooting male models this year. So if your a male model who needs great quality shots, then contact me ASAP.
================================================
Q: Do you edit the photos?
A: Yes, I have 8 years experience in photo editing and have the before and after edits to prove it. Ex. below.

>>>>>> Rates vary depending on assignment! TFCD on a very, very, very, very, very, very, I think you get the point.
Q: Why should I work with you?
A: It's very simple. I not only shoot models, I help them get paid work. For every time a model gets selected for a paid job from a contact of ours, you get paid and we get paid a referral fee. So there is something in it for the both of us. I work with models well after our shoot. This is more like a non-exclusive partnership between the both of us. My success as a photographer is based upon the success of the model. Besides having high quality shots provided by yours truly (me), you will have quality edits, and contacts to help you get paid work!
Why work with a photographer that can't help you get you paid work? I have helped plenty of models get work across the US. So all in all, I am your guy
