I'm here for different reasons than other photographers. I am not here to try and get business, I am here to make ART; personal work- so please read:
I am a self taught photographer. I've had a love for art since I was very young, but my interest in photography began back in 2000 when I was just thirteen. I am a practicing artist and I do this for myself. I Participate in juried exhibitions and other activities whenever I can.
I don't focus on just one thing in my work. I photograph everything from animals, landscapes, models, and abandoned places. I am very inspired by vintage photographs and how they tell a story. I DO NOT USE ACTIONS; each photo is manually and individually processed- actions just make it all look the same!
I joined this website for MYSELF to find models in my area who want to have some fun and take part in my work when I come up with new concepts. All of the stuff you'll see on here is personal work, not commissioned or freelance work. I like to work with models who are interested in photography as an art form. When I work with a model, I also like for it to be a collaboration of our ideas to have fun, and explore new places. That's the best way to get variety as an artist! I am very laid back and easy to work with
------------------------------------------------------
I DO NOT DO RANDOM TFP's FOR PEOPLE.
MESSAGES ASKING FOR TFP WILL BE IGNORED.
I joined this site to meet other people- yes, but I won't just work with anybody. When I see a model that inspires me, I message them asking if they'd like to work with me. However, If you love my art and think you'd go well with my style, send me a message and I'll see what I can do. This is NOT a business for me, this work is for me and how I express myself.
I also refuse to reschedule with those who were no-shows.
