Are you the next top model? If your not, it doesn't mean you have to resort to just taking booty shot after booty shot until someone notices you, you can get plenty of notice just by being true to yourself and genuine.
Hi I'm Al Salerno. I'm a second generation photographer who's passion to photograph the best looking people drives me everyday to be as good as I can. Weather its a family portrait, a wedding or a sexy glamor shoot I will always treat the work with the same love ,passion and determination. Carry yourself as a professional, and you'll be treated as one.
My own style currently is using gritty backgrounds with beautiful subjects, usually in unattractive places like warehouses, boiler rooms or garages, or just anywhere outdoors. The one thing I look for in a model is sincerity.
I am starting to do more Ultra Glam shoots, but I reserve the right to choose weather the model is appropriate for that style. I'm not a graphic artist, (although I can fine tune a good shot)I'm a photographer..if the raw emotion isn't there when the camera goes "click", its not gonna be there after Photoshop either.
When you shoot with me you have to "bring it". I put 150% into all my shoots and so should you. **I DO NOT shoot nude and I only work with models over 21 years of age**
IMPORTANT:IF YOU CAN NOT RETURN CONTACT WITHIN A WEEK PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME, YOU'LL WASTE MY TIME AND I CANT DEAL WITH PEOPLE THAT WASTE MY TIME. I look forward to meeting any people who are passionate and driven in their goals as I am, and hope that our short time together is a stepping stone towards something better.
SHOOT REQUIREMENTS:
1. A photo release must be signed for all work, even pay work. I reserve the rights to all my photo negatives unless they are paid for as well.
2. If you cant schedule a set date, also decline from asking me to shoot with you. Schedules can be hard, but become even harder over the course of weeks that become months. Planning is essential to a successful shoot, however a lot of momentum and enthusiasm can also be lost if too much time goes by.
3. A deposit is required for all shoots TFP or pay shoot. TFP deposits will be refunded as long as you show up for the shoot. Any cancellations the day before, the day of will forfit your deposit. I DONT RESCHEDULE WITH NO-SHOWS.
4.I am accepting limited TF* jobs only if its something that will add to my portfolio or website.
I’m a firm believer in what comes around goes around, the people you say hello to on the street may one day be your boss or the phtographer for shoot your dying to do, so tip your hat to everyone.
Please feel free to inquire about my affordable rates.
My motto working with models is if you’re comfortable, I’m comfortable and the pictures will look as they should.
Friend Requests without prior contacts will be denied especially for castings.
Testimonials:
"It was great working with you all day on the shoot...time just flew by! You are really great at finding the light and my best angle! Looking forward to the next one..." - AbbyLyn #863374
"Al Salerno is quite possibly one of the best photographers I've worked with, not only professionally, but as a friend. There's that connection you either make or don't have when you meet your photographer which is the deciding factor on if you'll work well together and have some fun or if working together will be a waste of time. I wouldn't think twice about working with him another time and look forward to the time when we can work again."
