Solar Windward Photo

In meteorology, aviation, and maritime navigation, the term "windward" refers to the direction from which the wind, weather, and oceanic currents come.  My name is Erik, and I'm a native San Diegan, a graduate student at San Diego State University, and an outdoor photographer by nature.  I've always tacked into the solar wind, which is where I get the name "Solar Windward Photo."  Model photography is a small part of what I do, but I've learned a great deal, made some interesting friends, and had an incredible time.

>>FRIEND REQUESTS>> I accept them by the same criteria as I make them; at my discretion.  However, if you want to be friends, you'll stand a much better chance if you introduce yourself first.  If there's an image in my portfolio that interests you, comment on it.  If you'd like to work with me, send me a message.  If you'd just like to be friends, leave me a tag, if you really want to impress me, ask me about the writings of Noam Chomsky, my favorite Frank Sinatra song, or even deficit spending during the Reagan Administration (but be prepared for a rant if you do!)

>>Also, MUY IMPORTANTE; My rates are negotiable and quite reasonable, but my time is limited.  If you'd like to work with me, please be clear what you've got in mind, when you're available, as well as a contact number.  I am available for some TFCD shoots if it adds to both of our books.  However, if you cancel or make up excuses not to show up less than 24 hours before we shoot, then you can expect an invoice for my time before I'll consider rescheduling with you.  It is disrespectful and unprofessional, but unfortunately in my experience, it happens.

I've worked with many talented individuals, both on and off Model Mayhem.  Professional or personal references can be provided by anyone in my top 12.
