my personal networking. Thanks!
Bio:
These days I pretty much work with who I want to.
Send me a message if you think I'd enjoy working with you.
Based in the midwest - travel worldwide.
I'm not a high fashion photographer;
I will not get you on the cover of
Vogue.
I'm interested in the artistic end of photography. Photos that people take notice of - I'm not interested in taking hundreds of glamor or fashion photos just to fill portfolios - the goal of most of my shoots is to produce one unusual image that will stand out.

"Your work is awesome" - Stacy Leigh, photographer and former model
"You work shows lots of command, and a dynamic personal vision" -Richard Goldstein AKA oldguysrule, award winning photographer, now retired
"You rock!" -Engel Schrei, MM model #326608
"Love your Wicked SHots" - Kymberly Jane, Playboy model
"If you ever get a chance to work with this photographer don't pass it up! He has a great eye for detail!" -FootNote Photography
At the moment I am not accepting commissions, nor am I offering paid work. Right now I'm purely interested in pursuing personal, artistic projects.
I am looking for models who want to be a part of my art, or wish to collaborate. With my personal projects I have a definite clear idea of what I want to achieve. If you have a project of your own that interests me, I am also open to working on your projects/ideas.
Since most projects are TF*, please let me know if you are capable of doing your own hair and makeup or if we will need to find a stylist.
If I am providing wardrobe, please be sure your measurements are accurate - I sometimes have pieces custom made, but can't always arrange for preshoot fittings.
"Eighty percent of success is showing up." - Woody Allen
If you book with me, please do not no call/no show. Also, please leave wives/husbands/kids/friends at home.
Thanks for reading this far. One more thing, please only comment on my photos if you genuinely like them, not because I commented on one of yours or because you expect a comment in return.
I'm the current host of The Dark Critique Parlor.
