I am interested in working with a few of you tf* especially, Promo Style Head shots, occasional location concepts, and if we really click, put together some concepts and rent a studio. If you are just getting in to modeling this may be a good way to start, if you have a lot of experience perhaps we could round out your portfolio with some quality head shots.
I am doing this for fun and experience. I work full time, leaving vacations days, weekends and evenings for photography. I am retiring soon and plan to do Portraits, Head Shots and Portfolio work in my golden time. But, I want to be able to elevate that with lots of creative work with the magic creative light and ideas. If you are building experience and having fun in front of a camera, let's pay our dues together sometime! I would would like to grow with a few local models who are just getting their game started. Hopefully, I can work with some more experienced talent as well. I feel I still have things to learn. In the last couple of years, the head shots I take for work have really given me a sense of accomplishment. In the past my approach to photography has been 'Artsy/Journalistic'. I have been published in many trade journals and financial news papers.
I am really excited about working with people who want to be photographed. I am only looking for TF* at this time. I may be willing to rent locations subsidize some material expenses, if the co$t$ fit the concept. Would like to get creative in a way that is mutually beneficial and fun. I don't like to work fast. I like to ponder the 1st round and chimp my shots, often tethered to a laptop. Which means, shoots may take longer. If you are just getting started. Be prepared to spend 3 or more hours. I can assure you that my shots will help your Portfolio. I am open to your ideas and would enjoy discussing those ideas ahead of time to plan the concepts for the shoot.
If you are comfortable with yourself and with the camera watching, we will get great shots.
Interested in Edgy backdrops, Buildings, Graffiti etc. Outdoors except ocean or wet work. Traditional Head Shots, Creative lighting possibilities, Mild GOTH, Tats. I would love to shoot some infra-red with you. I would also be interested in shooting romantic/interactive couples, if you have an attractive friend, let me know.
Yet, just so you know, my area of greatest asperation is the Headshot...

(Thank to Emeritus, for nailing it down so well.)
Your wardrobe, makeup etc. or bring someone you trust.
I have sufficient lighting for location shoots and studio work. But no permanent studio space. (Yet)
MUA's Let's work together! (All I ask, is that you realize your tools are not Crayola's). Less is more , even in fantasy work
Stylists? Let's talk.
No matter what we already know, we all need to much more to learn. Model Mayhem gives all of us a way to share our skills and knowledge. Let's have fun and work toward our goals. Let's create something we both can use!
Be prepared to sign releases, chaperon, OK (I may even have one!), but they may be given tasks and they are expected to be cooperative within reason. You know, hold a reflector, steady a light stand etc.
Bring ID. Under18? Bring Parent/Guardian. I can FAX or PDF releases prior to the shoot. Usage agreements provided upon delivery of photos.
CD of HQ JPEGS (All usable edits) and 5 prints, mailed within 7 days. I keep my promises, I expect no less from others.
