About me
Alright, this is how it is.  My best work is created for myself and usually not for a commercial client.  It never fails, they end up killing the creative process. Such is the way of life.  But to get ad work on an a national level, I need to constantly be testing and reinventing my craft.

This is why for select talent I will do TFP work.  It is important for me to say, I am not interested in shooting nudes.  My single objective is to create killer images that stand out in the current market place and can promote myself on a national level.

I have been working commercially for over twenty five years.  I have an extensive client list, and have used a number of my TFP models for my campaign work. 

Generally speaking, if I do a composite image, I will have invested up to four hours of Photoshop retouching time.  I have only so many hours of retouching available and cannot retouch every image or scenario I shoot.  But as trade, I will make a high res file available of all the images I end up retouching and can be used for portfolio and self promotion purposes. 

I now am working out of a 4200 sq. ft. studio in LA just south of LAX in Gardena.  To view my official web site go to: www.joelgrimes.com.

Cheers,

Great Lecture, thanks for sharing your experience and positive outlook. You are a good influence on contemporary photographers and helping to shape the art form for future generations. You have created a solid brand for yourself, and your willingness to impart your wisdom, speaks volumes about your artistic spirit.

just wanted to say thanks for you graciousness on your website. I now use your technique of retouching skin and the process is much easier than what I was doing before. Actually the 2 pics that are in my port now have been done using it. Once again thanks and great work ;)

Hey, allsooooooooooo
PS - I have this model that I think you will like. She almost got a Ford Modeling Agency contract when she was younger in NYC. But her parents wouldnt let her
You need to meet her. She is tall, pretty and skinny. But not many pic. And she is over 18 now so her parents cant say nuthin!
Anyways, do you want me to schedule the next meetup? We never finished chatting about that :)
