Sylvio

*PLEASE NOTE THAT STARTING TODAY, 11/20/09, I WILL BE WITHOUT PHONE OR INTERNET ACCESS FOR 20 DAYS* Talk to y'all when i get back.

I decided to re-write my “about me” in a more Mayhem-esque style. If you would like to see a more standard bio as well as a larger representative display of images, then please click on the link above to my OMP port.

Me- Internationally/Nationally published photographer…. Blah….Blah….Blah… I’m an Artsy/Fartsy photog trapped in a CEO’s body…I don’t want your $$$$….. I want your soul…LOL…. I am looking for like-minded artists that are serious about creating art, pushing the boundaries and can see the value of a collaborative effort together… Oh yeah, and I drink too much wine…. Unfortunately, I only have the privilege of working with the most persistent models that have great follow-thru skills. I often travel for several weeks at a time without email or internet/voicemail access.

You-  Are totally comfortable with yourself and your body. No diva attitude, ever. You are willing to push the envelope, step outside of your comfort zone and do what it takes to create edgy, stunning images that will make people step back and take notice.

Not being from the “MySpace generation” I use this site in the following ways:

Friend Requests- if I accept or send you a Friends Request it means that I like your work, would like to work with you or just like your attitude.

Tags- I rarely send them, if I have something to say to you, I will send you a message. If you “Tag” me, I will take that as an indication of interest in working with me. I do enjoy reading the tags sent to me.

Messages- The MM system confuses me and I often lose track of messages.

Comments- I love getting them, rarely leave one.

Favorite quote: "I am only constrained by your limitations"

Planned for 2008 (ongoing)

“French Postcards‿- I have a collection of in excess of 25,000 images from the late 1800’s to the 1930’s many from old French postcards. I am looking to recreate a series in b/w and sepia with some colorization for a coffee table book. These will be shot in a minimalist style (one or two props- mirror, dressing table, bench, sofa, etc…) and will include nude, semi-nude and implied nude. I am looking for models with period pieces, wigs, vintage clothing, tapestries antiques or great old locations to shoot.

“Outdoor/Nature Series‿- Looking to shoot a series of nude, semi nude and implied nude with visually dramatic landscapes. If you know of a great place feel free to contact me and share your idea.


“Wedding Dress Series‿- I am looking to do a series of  black and white/sepia images centered around a wedding dress. These will be implied nudes, topless and nudes shot in a soft artistic style. If you have a wedding dress or access to one, let me know and lets make some great pictures!

“Harley Davidson V-Rod Series‿ We have 3 brand new custom V-Rods (blue, red and black) available to shoot. This series will be shot in a very edgy/artistic style that will focus on the form and curves of the motorcycle and the female body (think fine art nude meets machine). These will be shot nude however they will mostly be implied as I will submit them to Harley Davidson for consideration for a high end, artistic campaign.

“Gymnast/Dancer Series‿ A black and white/sepia series of implied nudes and nudes tastefully showcasing the female form in a variety of dance and gymnastic poses. If you are a dancer or gymnast and would love some great artistic shots…get in touch!


LOOKING FOR A MUSE

Are you a Model looking for some in-depth Portfolio work ? I am looking for someone that is easy to work with, open minded that would like to work together 1-2 times per month for about 6 months…If interested, drop me an email.

TFCD- I  do NOT do  TFCD, I will however entertain working with like minded artists on artistic colloborations (one-two per month, time permitting) for a win/win situation. This means if you can contribute to one of my art projects, I am willing to help you with some images for your portfolio (even if it is beyond the scope of the art project)
