RANT WARNING!: To all these "pay me!pay me! PAY ME!" models contacting me for underwater work...I don't mind paying you *IF* you are an experienced underwater model, with images, and/or video footage, & photographer references to send to me....why should I pay you only to discover you have no talent to produce marketable (i.e. sellable) productions???

If you're a newbie to underwater, consider doing a training TF shoot with me, I'll help you with the basics to help you make kick-ass underwater images for your portfolio. Also I'll highly recommend you to any photographer wanting to hire you for such work. We're a tight knit community and word of mouth weighs heavily among us!

Hell, if you impress me enough, I'll pay you on the spot!!! Sorry for the rant, it's just that I've been bombarded with these "here's my rates" emails from models who have NEVER done underwater before...it's harder than you think it is!
/RANT OVER

I shoot digital stills of almost any theme & subject but I'm mainly here to recruit talent for my underwater video shoots, the terms of which you may read here:

If you missed the Smith Mt. Lake Shootout/ Meet & Greet, you missed out on a wonderful event! I plan on being a regular at this...minus the car crashes!

PLEASE! NO MORE "FLY-BY" FRIENDS REQUEST WITHOUT AT LEAST A TAG OR PHOTO COMMENT...THANKS!

CONTACT ME IF YOU'RE A LOCAL MODEL NEEDING PROFESSIONAL QUALITY IMAGES FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO!

E-mail me at TNantz(at)gmail.com or, of course, a PM thru this site will work just as well.

I've been shooting glamour photography here in beautiful North Carolina for about 21 years now.



I specialize in underwater images, but shoot a wide variety of subjects & settings, which I hope is conveyed in my portfolio here...comments welcomed!


{1st time underwater model Cheri Leah, can you believe that? wow!}

I also shoot a lot of outdoor location shoots as well, especially during the cooler months here in central North Carolina!



I have purchased an underwater housing for the Nikon D70 D-SLR (and digital substrobe also) so no more waiting for film to be processed for the underwater pics!



D200 for topside work, not brave enough to risk flooding it in a underwater housing...yet
