  Welcome to my realm, where creativity , the mind,  and photography comes together.
  In a fraction of a second, as the shutter releases, something happens, something special, something wonderful, and sometimes it's magical!!!.

  I've been In the photography business for over 20 yrs. Doing photo retouching, and photographing headshots / portfolios for actors and models, and fashion / swimwear / glamour / magazines. I'm the former director of photography, and photo editor for True Magazine, and fly girl magazine . Also the head photograapher for mothergrim.com. I enjoy doing photo digital art, fanasty glamour, and fine art glamour nudes for my personal project works. Some project works involves compositing, and retouching in photoshop, and some photos aren't retouched at all. From reality to fantasy, or as far the imagination of the mind will take you.

ONE THING TO KNOW BEFORE WE SHOOT:
  I will not shoot a model unless I meet them first. This will establish your credibility and mine when showing up to a simple meeting. You should see how many models flake.  In addition I also like to build that comfort level. The only time I will make exceptions is when you live far but do expect a call before the shoot.

ESCORTS:
  I really don't mind escorts as long as it's not a jealous BF or GF. Let's leave the drama at home. Remember that the location is not a place where you can just hang out with your friends and drink while we do the shoot. I will allow no more then one person as long as they do not interfere with the shoot or cause any attention to other person/s on or around the location. Do note that your escort may be asked to assist with equiptment at times. I also need to know in advance if your bringing an escort as I don't like surprises.

NOTE TO MODELS:

(Here for paid assignments and very selected TFCD.)

  For testing or TFCD, this is a shared / dual copyright agreement between the model and photographer.
Model receives the final finish images on a cd, and I do not give out a cd of the orginal raw images it's not going to happen, unless you're going to do a buy out.

*** Note: ( personal projects ) Models that I perfer are open minded on all levels / fun / creative / professional / out going / and  isn't afraid to try new creative things.

*** Note to friends section : Models work with in the past, or Photographers that I work with before, or people who left tags, and comments, and works that I really like.
