After doing this awhile, I'm acutely aware that you can't please everyone, nor can you showcase everything that you might be able to do. So, I just try to find models and take pictures that I personally like and hope that others will like and appreciate them too.
I'm receptive to constructive criticism and always try to learn from talented, perceptive and trained professionals, be they models or photographers.
Unfortunately, I usually don't have much time to network here on MM. So, if you've found my port, either by accident or deliberately, I hope you'll take the time to look through it and comment on what you like or don't like. I do try to return all comments or messages and tag portfolios that I like. I truly appreciate all of you who have been supportive and helpful. I do listen to you. If you've made a comment, tagged me or listed me and I haven't gotten back to you, I will. Sometimes, I'm just over whelmed with the response that I get and it takes me awhile to catch up.
I'm very laid back and try to keep my photo shoots relaxed, fun, and productive. I'm interested in knowing what kind of portfolio you want to develop for your style of modeling. If you're not sure or just haven't decided what type of modeling you want to do, we'll try different looks and styles to find which ones you like and what works best for you. I'm pretty receptive to doing whatever type of image you want to do. If I feel it is an area where I can't do you justice, I'll tell you.
I try to give back to the photography community by working with new models on a TFP basis as my schedule permits. I realize that without some very generous models shooting with me on a TFP basis when I first started, I might never have had the chance to shoot with models of that caliber.
Also, I'm open to donating my time and photography for non- profit organizations, women and children's advocacy groups, inner city and underprivileged children and others as my schedule allows.
Anyway, if you like what I do and are interested in working with me, please contact me and we'll go from there. And, please share your comments with the models.....they're the real stars. All I do is shoot pictures of them.
And, finally, I get a lot of "friend requests" and always appreciate them. Because of the large number, I try to keep my friend list confined to those that I work with or want to work with, as well as those who share a common vision with me. I always appreciate fine work, even stuff that is radically different than what I do. Artistic work and tasteful nudes are fine. However, if I don't accept your FR, it's nothing personal, it's just that your work or look is not a good fit for me and/or the type of work that I do.
If there are any MUA's out there who'd like to work with me please let me know.
