I love having new friends, both in real life and at MM. I'll be more than happy if you add me as your friends here; however, some tags or comments are more appreciated. Thank you.
Please read the following before contacting me!
♥♥♥Lately a good number of models have contacted me for sessions, thank you. Please read the following first if you want to have a shoot with me:
I normally schedule 1 to 2 nude sessions a month, the reason behind is that I have other things to do besides photography and I need time to process film--- yes I still shoot black and white in film and I process the film and custom print the photos. If I don't schedule a session with you that doesn't mean I don't like working with you (I enjoy and appreciate working with every single model cause you are unique as one self), it just means I have scheduled enough shoots at the time, sorry; but please keep me informed and chances are there will be another time I can schedule you, who knows? For out-of-town models if you want to notify me of your coming, please, try to do that at least a month before your arrival so that I have enough time to arrange things; notifying me a week or a couple days before you're in town means most likely I can't have the pleasure to shoot with you. Now, after shooting fine art nude for a long time, I want to do more erotica and fetish (don't mix up erotica with porn) which may have the model's genitalia shown in the pictures. Therefore, when you approach me for an assignment or project, please state that if erotica is okay with you or not and if you are looking for TF or pay job. I just want to be up front and no unnecessary uncomfortable feelings after. Thank you for your understanding.♥♥♥
I have found nude as an art form of beauty since I was very very young. I studied Fine Art in Seattle, life drawing was one of my favorite classes and at school I began to discover that life drawing helped my photography in terms of seeing light, shade and shadow while photography helped my senses of perspective and shape, as well as how to relate to the subjects in front of me.
Though my initial personal approach to female nude is more to the fine art, classical direction, I tend to move towards erotica lately. Models can be from 18 to 98, with or without make up, with any body shape. I do use both film and digital cameras for my color photography but I'm still using film and paper for pretty much all my b&w nude photos (occasionally alternative printings) because I'm conventionally trained and also because I am not fortunate enough to have seen one digitally captured b&w photo that satisfies me--- I don't mean any disrespect to digital photographers at all; in fact, a lot of them are coming from film background and are much knowledgeable and superior than me in terms of skill and experience. Most of the monotone photos here are scanned from silver-gel negatives or prints.
If you're interested in hiring me as your photographer, my rate is very reasonable; or if you have any ideas or projects would like to collaborate, be my guest and contact me here anytime or go to my website.
I also have another portfolio at MM for my fashion/glamour side, the user name is Dim Sum (#467847). Please feel free to have a look and comment. Thank you.
