Travel/Events:
+ Portland Trip tentative for May 2013

Currently Seeking a Muse.

Female models: check out my casting for VOLO magazine below!

As a 2nd LIST Mentor in Photography I am willing to advise, help instruct, and coach photographers new to working with models and/or studio lighting.

Rates vary depending on the project, but I always deliver exceptional value. Describe your project to me and request a quote.
---------
I enjoy working TFP when I have the time, however I receive so many requests for TFP that I simply cannot accommodate them all.

About me:
Motivated by the technical and artistic challenges of photography: it is is my passion and obsession.

My work has been published internationally and individual images have been sold as fine art in galleries around the SF Bay area and online. Runway experience includes Fashion week in New York and Hong Kong, and other fashion shows in San Francisco, Las Vegas and San Jose.

Possessing an unapologetic appreciation of feminine beauty, my favorite subject is the female form. Inspired and influenced by fine art, high fashion, glamor and Japanese A/V erotic photography I have been developing a passionate approach to creating evocative images that bring sensuality and sexuality out of my subjects while carefully avoiding over-objectification.

I give 100% to every shoot from preparation to retouching and enjoy working with models with the same level of enthusiasm, no matter what their experience.

The San Jose / San Francisco Bay area is home, but I also travel to New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Southern California.

Commercially available for:
+ clothing/fashion advertising or catalog shoots
+ editorial
+ model/actor head shots
+ model starter portfolios
+ web sites
+ product photography

Also available for non-commercial:
+ portraiture
+ maternity
+ engagements/couples
+ boudoir
+ corporate head shots and portraits

+ willing to help new models build their portfolio TFP (as a member of theLIST); see TFP note below
+ will shoot events (not weddings!), performers, musicians, performance artists
+ will shoot for your website, catalog, or promotional materials
--------

Check my credits section for more details.
--------

chaperone policy:
I am flexible with chaperones/escorts and respect model's desire to be safe and comfortable but please note:
+ you should discuss your desire to bring a chaperone with me before we shoot. If you show up with someone I didn't know was coming, that person will not be allowed to stay.
+ I do not permit boyfriends/fiances/husbands at photo shoots. They can drop you off and pick you up; I'll shake their hand, look them in the eye and guarantee that you'll be safe and respected, but before we begin working, they gotta go.

Save yourself some worry: check references it's worth the effort.
---------

regarding TFP:
If we do arrange a TFP shoot, here's what you can expect:
+ you will get professionally retouched images ready for use in your portfolio within the time promised
+ I am now willing to provide low res versions with a large PROOF watermark. If you want a CD the same day, tell me at least one day prior to the shoot and be prepared to bring a blank disk with you.
NOTE: I do not provide models with RAW photos; do not expect RAW images
+ I require models to sign a release for all shoots
Ask me about it and I will send you a copy to preview.
+ If we're shooting anything sexy or nude I will need a copy of your ID as proof of age. It is required of me by law.
Look up 18 U.S.C. Section 2257 for an explanation.
