About me
HEY!! smile I WILL DENY YOU on a friend request IF you don't introduce yourself! Please leave COMMENTS, TAGS or a MESSAGE if you want to be FRIENDS! I'm not asking much but for you to be polite :]

Please read my entire profile if you're approaching me for a shoot. It is very much appreciated big_smile

I am an artist who appreciates and loves to photograph. I love studio photography and I always try to capture something a little different with whatever concepts that come to mind (but who doesn't right?) I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with some very talented models and I especially remember those who are just fun spirited and love what they do. And speaking of working with awesome people, I have the amazing help of an extremely talented Hairstylist, and amazing MUA's! So if you ever hire me, you're definitely going to look great!

*Paid Assignments Only*
I shoot very very selective TFCD

*Serious Inquiries Only Please*

A little about me, I'm a really cool person, easy and fun to work with. I always have shoots with my boyfriend at my side for assistance. Also I don't mind if models bring an escort, just as long as I'm informed of it before the shoot. If you do however, I would just ask the escort to sit on the side, read a magazine and sit quietly without interrupting.

^^^That's me! big_smile^^^ *Photo by Khai Le. Mayhem #1190500

Check out my work! I really love high fashion and Avant Garde type shoots (hope that made sense haha). Anyway, I really LOVE taking CREATIVE PORTRAITS! So if you want some bikini shots, sorry I'm probably not the person to come to for that. But I do love to photograph artistic nudes; if you want to work with me, I would be more than inspired to.

What I look for in a Model
As I've said before, I've had the wonderful pleasure to work with some very talented people, and it's them that I found to be a perfect example of what is a professional model.

1) Communication: They are attentive and speak in a professional manner in their emails, and in telephone conversations. Responses are always made in a timely manner.
2) ON TIME
3) Brings the necessary items that I request (clothes, etc). Please...NO grouchy boyfriends as your escort. Bring someone with a good attitude.
4) This is what you want: Please know what you're doing. It's extremely boring to photograph models who only know how to give ONE expression.

These are the most important things I could think of that really scream professional. To others, you may not seem like a billion bucks, but if you come to me with these four in check, you're a billion bucks in my book.

I DON'T LIKE FLAKES

Definition of a Flake: An unreliable person; someone who agrees to do something, but does not follow through.

You flake, we NEVER work again! Because you're not only wasting MY TIME, but you're wasting MY TEAM'S TIME as well, and that really pisses me off!

If you call me 7 days prior to the shoot, then cool. We may work something out (or at least buy me some time to find an emergency model). But please don't call me a day before the shoot to tell me you're pet passed away tomorrow. (ya...tomorrow) With this said, I'm not saying I'm perfect, because I've messed up too, but that mess won't happen again; it's just too ridiculous.

So please, let's leave the drama behind, and have a fun shoot :]


Respectfully,
Soats

i think a male model would add alot of diversity to your port
and i can pull of the androgynous look if youd like.
