Are you looking for a photographer who likes the dynamic interplay between model and photographer? Are you hoping to be able to feel comfortable and laugh during a shoot? Well then you've come to the right place. As a photographer I believe that the model should have a voice in the shoot, the photographer can't think of everything. I also believe that if a shoot is nothing but business then the artistic quality of the shoot suffers.

Personally, I always strive to produce images that express an emotion. I also like to explore themes and new ideas because I belive that everything can be an opportunity to create something inspiring!

Thank you for taking the opportunity to view my work and I look forward to working with you in the future!

***Please note that I do not accept friend requests if we have never had any contact. If we've exchanged dialog through tags, messages or comments you'll be accepted***

Here are a few additional thoughts about my approach to photography:

1.) I am open to all of the following categories of photo shoots: Fantasy, Pin-up, Portrait, Causal, Glamour, Runway, Sports/Fitness, Lingerie, Swimsuit, Sheer/See Through, Covered/Implied Nude, Topless, Artistic Nude, and Nude.
** Regarding any nude photo shoot. I will not shoot pornographic images. I view the body as art and will only represent it as such.**

2.) I am willing to shoot Time for Print (TFP) if a concept is particularly compelling. Please be sure to explain exactly what you are hoping to achieve and what the artistic point of the shoot would be. I will also be conducting thematic shoots in the future that I will most likely run on at TFP basis, if you are curious as to whether or not I could use you for any of these themes please feel free to inquire.

3.) I am a very respectful individual and try to create a very comfortable and relaxed environment during my shoots. I consider any interaction a professional endeavor and treat my models with the highest respect, and I expect the same in return from my models.

4.) I have an ongoing project shooting greeting card related images for the "Keeping in Touch" Greeting Card company out of Layfayette, Indiana. This work is strictly TFP based upon my agreement with the company. This is an opportunity for you possibly gain new tear sheets if your image is used by the company and you are given permission to use the images for self promotion. If you interested in this ongoing project please feel free to contact me for additional information.

5.) I prefer to organize a meeting with all models prior to the agreed upon shoot date. This allows for a no pressure, no anxiety discussion about the intent of the work we wish to create together and how best to achieve our goals. Then on the day of the shoot we can move ahead with very few questions.

Thank you again for your time! Let's create something amazing!

Sincerely,
JV Photography
