I see pretty people.  All the time.  They're everywhere!

My name is Kent Gilley and I like take creative portraits. 

      :: I'm different, not less. 
     
      :: I don't tolerate liars or conceited people.
     
      :: I'd like to buy some people (from Winston Salem for example) for what they are worth, and sell them for what they **THINK** they are worth.
     


1) If I photograph you, we will be trading our times for each others talents.

    TFCD is not working for free, you get something for your time:
        A dvd of fullsized images before you leave;
        At least 3 (often many more) edited/retouched images.
         My time;
         My experience;
         Images you will be proud of;
         Images you will actually like (not just paid to pretend to like);
         Sometimes an mua and hairstylist;
         and you get to meet me. 

    Okay, maybe the last one was worthless, but you get the point.

2) All models that I photograph will need to sign a model release used by the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers), and will be expected to show identification to verify the name signed on the release. This will be done at the beginning of our session. I can email you the release prior to the session.

3) I'm not a big fan of escorts, for a few reasons, and can do just fine without them. And since I often photograph in places (such as historic B&Bs with expensive antiques)that I am financially responsible for, I will be very stubborn on this issue.

Listed below is the list of models in my current Model Mayhem port that I've worked with, and as you can see almost all were without me having to keep an eye on someone else. Again, the names of people I've photographed are clearly listed below, have at it.

I'm booked through February, working on March. Hey, if you're brand new, give me a shout. I'll be honest, I'm not big on people who think highly of their-self. I'd rather work with humble people who will be happy to shoot.



If you can't get past any of these three points, please exit stage left, because I don't budge on them.

Aside from that, we'll have fun, and you'll enjoy our shoot, that I can promise. If you would still like to collaborate with me, please just message me that you are interested, and we'll see what we can do.

I only photograph these creative portraits a couple of times a month now. But, whether you've only done this for a week, or 20 years, if you're interested I'd love to hear from you.  I actually think some of the most gorgeous people on this planet only have iPhone photos of themselves. I always look forward to take quality images for them. I'm looking for the next pretty person for my port, are you the one?

Hey, I need to take more images of the male models as well.  I hardly ever get a request to photograph from a male model

Thanks, Kent.

What's been said by people I've photographed or worked with at the shoots?
