PLEASE read my profile before asking any questions, yes I do trade shoots, read below. Thank you

Moving about 25-30 minutes away from the valley. Will be moving to San Dimas, if you aren't sure where thats at...It's about 15 minutes past Pasadena off the 210 freeway (East).

My name is Mike. I am a self taught photographer. I have been doing it professionally for about 2 years.

I love natural lighting and location shooting!! As much as I love shooting outdoors, I am working on putting a studio together due to requests. Although I do shoot with a digital SLR I am not a big fan of photoshopping or airbrushing. Everyone seems to overly edit pictures today because they think it's more professional. Photography is about capturing a beautiful, fun and great image at that moment.

No I don't consider myself an "artist" I'm a photographer. Photo shoppers are editors! Picasso was an artist

When I shoot on location, I never use a flash, light reflectors or any artificial lighting. I only bring my camera, high quality lenses and tripod.

I use model mayhem to help others with their portfolio which is why I like doing trade shoots. So always feel free to ask about a trade shoot. I will consider each offer individually. Trade shoots are usually done monday-friday and some weekends. My time is a little more limited due to the arrival of first child.

I treat everyone the way I like to be treated, with respect.

I shoot in the RAW format so the processing time is usually 3-4 days. All images are given in the jpeg format on a printbale disk at full resolution.

Feel comfortable knowing I will never ask you to shoot nude images. The only time this subject will come up... is if it comes from YOU the model.

Escorts are welcomed should you decide to bring one, just let me know when discussing the shoot details.

Unfortunately, I do not provide a make up artist, you are free to bring one should you choose too.

Model release forms are available upon request. Just let me know before the shoot and I'll bring one for you to keep and one for myself.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile.

Models I have worked with from this site.

Mike is one of the best Photographers that I have ever worked with. My entire experience shooting with him was nothing short of amazing. He was on time, very professional, very down to earth with a Great personality and overall vibe. I felt SO comfortable and relaxed from the moment that we started shooting. He provides a very relaxed setting and that is something that All Models can truly appreciate. He is very creative and completely allows and encourages you to run with your own creativity as well. And in the end...MAGIC. I can personally attest to that.  I was SO pleased with our work collectively. This Photographer wont let you down. I would highly recommend him and I truly look forward to working with him again. - CzeCH ChiK #703533
