About me
What do you want to know? Write me.
"I came across your portfolio just by searching through the best photographers on MM." Shayla Shaw, MM Model #1051127
I'm a serious semi-pro, but I still have to have a day job, as many of our MM models must as well. I have studied composition & studio lighting, among other courses, at UC Berkeley & California College of Arts.
Mostly, I can't afford to pay models. But when I can, & you are affordable, the following applies:
I am happy to make a good faith deposit (via PayPal) in advance on all scheduled shoots involving a fee. If you are in the SF area I will pay mileage or local transportation costs if we shoot in my Berkeley studio. I always feed my models  , usually home made sushi, so let me know if you have an aversion to Japanese food. Arigato.
"Fail once. Fail again. Fail better." Samuel Beckett
TFP welcomed for portraits, nudes, erotic, fetish, editorial, lingerie, edgy stuff, figure studies, B/W art nudes, whatever. Don't do glam/pin-up unless you do the setup/mua stuff.
I don't shoot with "escorts." My experience has been that they tend to make the model self-conscious. If you wish to bring along a female friend (TFP shoots only) who is willing to work as a grip, that's a possibility.
"There are two dirty words in photography; one is 'art', and the other is 'good taste.' " Helmut Newton

My muses for erotic photography: Helmut Newton, Nobuyoshi Araki, Roy Stewart
A good lunch & a few beers for anyone who can locate model Kate Nadasaka
Landscape, editorial, street, fetish,
documentary, erotic, portrait, "fine art" nudes
Comments on pictures preferred to tags. Thanks!
For new models (SF Bay Area) looking to establish/expand portfolios (art nudes, erotic, "implied," portraits) I can give you lots of TFP shots in a two hour shoot. Model release required.
