I AM NOW RESIDING IN VENTURA, CA. I WILL BE ATTENDING SCHOOL IN SANTA BARBARA @ Brooks Institute FOR 3 YRS STARTING JANUARY 2012. I AM TRYING TO START NETWORKING OUT IN THIS REGION STARTING NOW (hence my newest list "California Girls." I also created a new group on facebook called "SoCal Glamour Nook" for the Southern California region (specifically between LA and Santa Barbara). Photographers, Models and MUA's from that area are welcome. I am looking forward to meeting and working with new faces!
I retired from the US Air Force after 26 years as a aircraft mechanic/supervisor. I got interested in photography in high school. But, the military had other plans for me. So, I put my camera down and focused on my military career. I picked my camera back up after 26 yrs. Photography is truly my passion or obsession (the jury is still out on that).
I appreciate and enjoy the creative efforts of photographers, models, makeup, hairstylists and wardrobe persons. I wish to use this site to meet fellow photographers, models and MUA's, etc.; to learn from their images and creativity; gain experience and improve my own abilities as a photographer.
Never forget how far we have come or where the journey started. There is always someone better than ourselves weather we choose to believe it or not. This outlook will ensure I remain modest and encouraging in my opinions and comments. Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Seeing it is the first and easiest step...humans are visual (men more so than women). Expressing and giving compliments concerning beauty is a little more difficult. But, the hardest of all is learning how to create, capture and preserve that beauty forever!
Currently my photography is all that I do. This makes for a very flexable schedule and availability. I shoot family, children, maturnity, etc. as paid assignments (but, my rates are lower than anyone in my area). However, when it comes to working with models or aspiring models, I am still interested in shooting TFP/CD. If at some point, I am receiving monetary compensation for our work together, I will be glad to share with you
Both parties have expenses and both are working their best... I will waive my fees though in order to shoot. Cuz that is what is most important to me....SHOOTING!
I read a lot of what people put in their pages. I constantly find interesting info, phrases and claims. Think before your type. Your digital portfolio is your visual resume. Your profile page is your cover letter. As such, what we read on one, should match and support what we see in the other.
If you are in the area and you are interested in shooting together, don't hesitate to contact me. I have more photos posted on my facebook page. You can find the link at the top of this page.
