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.

Photographer looking to improve your skills and portfolio?
I host model/lighting workshops in the San Francisco bay area through my meetup.com group Bay Area Photo Cliques.
Our events are designed to educate photographers about studio lighting, working with models, and help them build their portfolios while gaining valuable experience.
We offer great location shoots, experienced models, professional hair and makeup, coaching while you shoot, and instant critiques.
Join me there.

Traveling Model?
If you are a traveling model coming to the San Francisco Bay area and would consider modeling for one of my workshops, contact me with your itinerary and I'll be happy try and schedule and event with you.
Note: I'm traveling to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and New York and will return to the Bay Area SEPTEMBER 18 2011
Bay Area Photo Cliques

Except:
* if you are new model looking to build your portfolio; as a member of theLIST I reserve time to shoot TFP with at least one new model per month

Photography and Modeling Resource Website:
Photo Cliques
Looking for photographers, models, makeup artists, hair stylists and wardrobe stylists interested in sharing their experience and expertise with others in the industry.
This is not going to be a profile/portfolio site.
PM me if you're interested in being a contributor.
The site is in the final stages of production and testing will begin soon. I have number of photographers, models, and stylists interested in participating; let me know if you would like to as well.

Zivity
Always looking for daring models to do themed photo shoots that are classy and sexy with a touch of tasteful or satirical nudity
Check me out on Zivity

About me:
Motivated by the technical and artistic challenges of photography: it is is my passion and obsession. My work has appeared in print and has been sold as fine art.

Possessing an unapologetic appreciation of feminine beauty, I have worked with over 150 female models of all levels on paid, trade and fun/experimental projects in less than two years.

My work is inspired and influenced by fine art, high fashion, glamor and erotic.

I shoot in professional studios, my home/loft, and on location.
I use professional cameras, lenses, lighting, and software and prefer to work with MUAs and stylists whenever possible.

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

+ 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
--------

Rates vary depending on the project, but I always deliver exceptional value. Describe your project to me and request a quote.
---------

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:
I enjoy working TFP when I have the time, however I receive so many requests for TFP that I simply cannot accommodate them all.

I will do TFP in the following circumstances:
* if I contact you
* as a photographer on theLIST, I reserve time to help at least one new model per month build a portfolio 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 don not provide models with RAW photos; unless you can provide me with a compelling reason to do so, 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.
