Jake has it all ... Great Looks, Great Personality, Intelligent and knows what he wants in life. . . ... I think I need to introduce him to my Daughter Jenine who will be 21 next month ... ; ) JUST KIDDING .. I swore I would never be a mom like that ...
Jake You Have a Great Future ahead of you!

"
Jake is a true man of character who works well either with fashion or in costume with props. He can flash a mischievous grin at will, but within his chest beats the heart of a superhero. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Thanks for taking the time to check out my site.
ABOUT MYSELF: I'm currently attending Western Michigan University and am a Psychology major. I have a passion for art and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.
I'm open on pay and what I'd be modeling (as long as its not nudity). What you see in these pictures are actually me, no serious make-up or special effects added. I've had some help from some amazing photographers in the past, but I also do a lot of my own picture shooting/minor-editing (so unless I listed a photographer with the pic, I made it myself by using a timed camera and such.). I'm a hard working, friendly, and caring individual. I'm pretty easy going but I also work professionally so I take my work quite seriously and do not tolerate flakes. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Note: Since I've joined this network I've had a MM photographer try to trick me into doing a nude porn film, and a little while ago I had an older man try to kidnap me, so I ALWAYS travel with an escort. The escort doesn't have to stay on the shoot (I don't want to cause distractions for the photographer) but I at least have to make sure I'm in a safe location before I do a shoot. Nothing personal, but I can't take any chances. I don't think this will cause any inconveniences though since the escort doesn't have to actually be present at the shoot.
MODELING:
I'm an agency represented model (non-exclusive)
http://www.talentandcompany.com/
but also can work freelance.
NO TF* unless you're REALLY skilled or have a really good idea that could benifit my port
TF* Defined - TFP [Time For Prints]/TFCD [Time For Compact Disk] =
The photographer and model exchange time instead of money so that the photographer gets a free model for his or her portfolio, and the model gets free photos for his or her portfolio. The two artists (generally) maintain equal rights to all images taken during the shoot.
Future Ideas I'd be interested (but not restricted to) in shooting:
-
shoots where I am modeling clothing photographer/company is trying to merchandise
-Phantom of the Opera couple shoot
-Outside Winter/Snowfall shoot
-Assassin shoot
-Nice Guy shoot
-Super Mario shoot
-Dr. Horrible vs. Captain Hammer shoot
-Angel/Demon shoot
-Army Soldier shoot
-Shoot involving chess pieces or deck of cards (idea still in progress).
-Merlin/Wizard shoot
-More will come
Some of my pics aren't fancy I know, but any expensive camera can take a pretty picture. A real model and photographer can take a dull picture, and make something beautiful out of it.
