About me
What do you want to know? Write me. Really. Hbbard@gmail.com
"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.
The little money I'm able to make with my photography is usually in other genres: landscape, wildlife, street, documentary. So, 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 home studio.
"Fail once. Fail again. Fail better." Samuel Beckett
TFP always available 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. If we click & you want lots of free shots to build your portfolio, let's talk about what you need. I consider each shoot a learning experience & a chance to improve my skills, concepts, & ideas, so TFP shoots get (within reason!) plenty of time to accomplish what you want.
I don't shoot with male "escorts" (neither for TFP nor for fee
shoots). My experience has been that they tend to make the model self-conscious. If you wish to bring along a female friend who is not your mate/lover (unles she's also a model/mua) to assist as a grip/lighting assistant, that's a possibility.
