About me
http://www.evanhaydenart.com/images/evanhaydenart_promo_MM.jpg

UPDATE: To my surprise, I was offered an English teaching job in Nagasaki, Japan, starting in mid-January 2013, so I'm moving out of Los Angeles. I'll be back in SE Michigan until January 22nd, and then off to the other side of the world for a couple years or so. I'll be spending a lot of my time in MI packing, preparing, and spending time with my family, but I'll have a little free time here and there if you'd want to shoot. After that, I'm open to shoots in Japan. I won't have my strobes, props, or makeup supplies with me in Japan, so things will be a little scaled-down, but I'm excited to see what direction my work takes there!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm Evan. In early 2005 I transplanted myself into San Francisco's fertile soil, via southeast Michigan. Like most people, I moved to California for the opportunities (but I also hate winter). I've zig-zagged back & forth between CA & MI a bit this past couple years (thanks recession!), and now I'm in the megalopolis that is Los Angeles. I can go all over the So-Cal area to shoot, and am often visiting my beloved SF, so keep me in mind if you're in the Bay Area as well! (Michigan too, since I go home now and then to visit family) I like to shoot fashion-oriented shots, often with an unusual theme to them. I love to combine photography and illustration, as you'll see some examples of that here.

I love to shoot on location, or in studio (when possible). I own a Profoto 1200 strobe kit with three heads and lots of accessories, and shoot with a Canon 30D. I also have experience with Profoto, Broncolor, Speedotron, Norman, Visatec, and Dynalite strobe systems.
 
THINGS I CAN DO FOR YOU:
- fine art photography (illustrated-photography my specialty)
- high-fashion
- automotive stuff, with or w/out a model. (tuners, classics, avant-garde, etc!)
- head shots & body shots for actor's portfolios
- product, lifestyle, and catalog photography
- pin-up, fetish, swimwear, nude. (I'm a Zivity photographer, so definitely hit me up if you want to shoot for that! I'm looking to increase this kind of work)
- photography for album packaging, flyers, etc
- graphic design for print and web
- assisting, digital tech, or PA for other photographers / shoots
- much more, just ask me!

THEMES I ESPECIALLY LIKE:
- surreal situations
- automotive-themed. I love cars, actually, and love using them as props.
- sci-fi type stuff, especially post-apocalyptic and cyberpunk
- robots!!
- lasers!!
- 60's, 70's, or '80s-style retro shots.
- anthropomorphic machines (machines coming to life, taking on human characteristics)
- horror, especially Cronenberg-esque body horror
- vivid color & eye-shattering patterns
- avant-garde makeup and outfits
- anything STRANGE.

RATES: Reasonable, and depends on the shoot. I'm cool with TF/trade if the shoot's of a style that my portfolio is in need of, if it's for my fine art work, or if I contact you.

MUA, HAIR: Not all of my shoots require a MUA (especially the illustrated-photography, since I do a lot of the makeup digitally), but I am always looking for a good makeup and/or hair wizard for high-fashion shots. (TFP/TFCD only at the moment, please)

WARDROBE: I'm looking for a good wardrobe person, so if you're that person, get a hold of me! I also make clothing once in a while (you'll see examples of my stuff in some of my photos). Sometimes I like to make a transient outfit just for the shoot at hand. So models, if we shoot together, I might want to suit you up in my gear.

ESCORTS: I'm cool with escorts on shoots as long as they are not of the "always in the way of the shoot" variety.

FLAKES: ...need not apply. Free time is fleeting, so I can't afford to have it wasted. I've sort of turned into a "one strike, you're out" person on this, unless you have a particularly convincing excuse, or if I trust that you're otherwise reliable.

ILLUSTRATED-PHOTOGRAPHY: I can't necessarily guarantee an illustrated-photograph for your portfolio, as those take me many hours to make (I'm working on figuring out how to speed up that workflow), but I can at least shoot some creative non-illustrated shots for your portfolio.  Bear in mind, if I have an illustrated-photo in mind that I think you would work well for, I'll definitely ask you for your help. A note about my technique, since some have asked. I don't use Illustrator or any other vector-tracing program / filters to get the hand-drawn look. It actually is hand-drawn, with a Wacom tablet. Most of my illustrated-photo pieces take about 20-30 hours of hard labor. Things like Illustrator, while awesome, don't get the kind of outlining style I want, and I wish to make art that is a seamless hybrid between my two favorite media, illustration and photography
