About me

"A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it."

"It is, in a word, effective."


                  --Irving Penn, noted fashion photographer


I am a hobbyist photographer specializing in casual fashion and portraiture. I occasionally shoot swimwear, lingerie, and glamour type images. I am always looking for attractive models to work with. If the style of my images appeals to you, let's talk. Beginner or experienced models, in or traveling through mid-Michigan, are especially welcome! Paid or TFCD arrangements are possible.

One caution, if you can't be bothered to answer emails promptly or consider not showing up for scheduled shoots with no advance notice to the photographer acceptable behavior, PLEASE don't contact me! I treat all models with courtesy and respect and expect the same in return. 'Nuff said.

Jess - My favorite model.

                                                            A simple proposal

Instead of making up another "My favorite Pictures..." list, how about making up a list that is really useful. Models can do a list of all their work on the site, photographers can do the same, and also list innovative image ideas they've run across, different and intriguing makeup schemes, posing guides, etc. Let's make some lists USEFUL!

And yes, make up your favorite pictures list too, but put a descriptive name on it so it can be searched especially if you're pretty eclectic! "John Doe's killer images" doesn't really say too much about what your tastes and interests are! Better to say "John Doe's list of petite long haired brunettes in micro bikinis" or whatever your thing happens to be, don't you think?

So how do you search for words in a list title? Simple, just put the following line in a Google search:

site:www.modelmayhem.com/list.php? word

where word is the word you are searching for. There is also another way, go to

http://search.plasticpuppet.com/

The big problem with the Google search is that it's not always up to date since they don't index ModelMayhem daily. The plasticpuppet search may be better, and who knows, maybe ModelMayhem will get their search function fixed someday...


Dena with a little attitude.

You're probably right about that Al, I'm going to ask the photog for a bigger image as I don't know how to get it any bigger.

thanks, waist band wasn't cut off I rolled them down. Those were my favorite jeans when I was younger and when they finally started wearing out I cut them off. I have shot in them a couple times but that was the best photo in them I have ever done. Mel

Your guess is correct! I'm a broadcast engineer. (And a ham operator for over 35 years.)
You have a great volume of work! Love the lists you have compiled, giving me some ideas, too!
Keep up the excellent work!!

Thanks for the comments. It was a 60s-70s inspired shoot- the photographer has a vintage line that she sells. We had a ball with the different hairdos etc.

thank youf or your comments! but on that one picture it looks flat because the black isnt true. the same goes for the last picture in my port. i wanted an old western-y look to the picture, and you know that old pictures are washed out a bit so thats what i was going for. the photog and the model really like it, as well as me. but thanks for your input, i enjoy the good the bad and the ugly!

Hey! That list of mine is really personal :) Those evoke emotions in me... lust, love, jealousy, curiosity ... at the highest levels. Nothing to do with great photography or techniques.

Cheers!

Oh, please keep your list! I'll refer to it incase I miss something! I discovered the puctuation thing tonight when I was going to start an Argus C3 list and gave up. I"m ok with 300 limit. Some of those 1200 photo lists took forever to load up!
Take care!

Thanks for adding so many of my photos to the posing in the cars list.....this is my everyday job and shooting scantly clad female models in rare vintage cars is a true art form for me, I'm proud of the models I work with and happy to have the fortune to be able to work with some of the rarest vintage cars in the USA!

Hey Al,
Good to hear from ya!
Yup, that is the Canadian law, except in Quebec though.
I just moved back to Windsor. I wish I was able to shoot more, but, as you might know, it was hell to teach models to tell time or "modeling is a job". I like to shoot more, but I think we are in the wrong part of the continent...
