There are so many talented people out there, Mod's & Photog's (It's amazing what the human psyche is capable of) and I feel extremely honored to be given the opportunity to be part of this community.
In my style, I dare to say that, I know exactly what I do but there is still so much out there for me to learn, which brings me to tell you two of the reasons why I am here: Networking and building my portfolio (and yours as well, this goes without saying)
Any creative input from other photographers (and models) is sought for and highly appreciated. ---Yes, that means you, photog's, come on now, don't be shy and speak up---
I know, I know, this is not a dating site but let me get this here out in the open first. (Hey,... I'm trying to be funny here, work with me, ok?) If I had to describe myself I'd say ,I have a sense of humor, have an upbeat personality, stick to my word and am timely. I say this because I would like for it to "click" (pun intended) with my models.
I think that I have an eye for something different, am very passionate about what I do, and get a kick out of the feeling when this passion is mutual. I like to build up a comfort level with my models, because I want THEM to feel comfortable and, most of all, have fun during a shoot.
I am on a mission to capture and/or create the beauty of my model in a personal authentic matter in form of creative photography, while having a blast doing so.
I am interested in helping out, beginning as well as experienced models, to expand their portfolio by doing TFP-CD and/or paid shoots.
When doing TFP-CD I would like to offer an agreement specifically stating that ,either party may use the images to promote themselves, but any other commercial use requires separate consent and/or compensation. It is my policy to communicate with you about all the details beforehand because we do not want to create any confusion or misunderstandings.
This means, we'll talk about what our mutual goals are and what we both try to get accomplished, and take it from there, which happens before we even schedule a date (I hope you understand)

Well well well .....
You are still here and reading? .... good ... that means you are interested in what I have to say, which is very rare nowadays. You know,...people usually "zone off" after reading 15 words.
Congratulations for not being part of that species within the human race.
Like I mentioned before, photography is my passion and therefore I have more projects planned then I will ever be able to handle in my life time.
I have many visions but if you come up with some new idea's (and keep in mind than NOTHING is too crazy), please have 'em coming my way.
I would like for people, to "react" when they notice my work and not just "look" at another picture. In my humble opinion, all photography styles are works of art and different styles say different things and are interpreted differently in as many ways as there are viewers.
My own site will be up soon (I'll keep you posted right here) where I will displaying all my personal facets of how I see the world though my camera.
My goals to build this port even bigger and better are so wide that I can't even sum it all up.
Using my personal style, it ranges from portraiture "with an edge", though themes like extreme sports and action, romance, passion, fantasy, alternative, gothic/horror, punk, tatt's and piercings, burlesque, erotic nudes as well as none nudes, fetish, corsets, retro, 70's (oh right, that is retro as well), bondage....etc etc etc ......etc...et....e .... .
In private artistic nudes I strive to fulfill the combined creative vision of the individuals portrayed.

I prefer the use of available light (or lack thereof during the occasional rain storm) during my shoots, either outdoors or coming in through windows, doors, gates etc, to created the mood I am looking for. If you'd like to have a romantic portraiture shoot, I don't mind at all heading out to the fields on a beautiful day, but the settings I normally use for my shoots are usually considered, "out of the ordinary" places, such as old barns, old train stations, cemeteries, old abandoned factories, ranging up to the occasional run down mental institution. Please, take a peek at my port and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
Oh and btw: if anybody from the Northern tip of New Jersey is reading this, please let me know of you know of any locations you think fit this description. I love to discover new places, they give me new "visions". (As if I need more of those...lol)
If you are interested and are STILL reading this (hahaha, you're good) let me tell you who I am looking for....
I am usually looking for people of any shape, size or even with physical imperfections.
Everybody (and I mean everybody) is beautiful in their own way, and it is up to me as your photographer to find that most beautiful, wonderful personal side of yours.
During themed shoots I like to use props such as, the location we are (see above), out of the ordinary outfits and wardrobe styles, wigs, different hairstyles such as long hair pinned up or with ponytails (maybe pigtails) or even shaved.
I love tattoos and piercings as well, since they bring an extra element to the shoot which, when used wisely, can bring out an amazing dramatic effect.
I love to shoot pregnant women (Oh boy, that didn't sound right, but you know what I mean) let me explain,...
I think the body of a pregnant woman is such an amazing, ever changing personification of beauty, that I go over and above to realize those pictures for you that will only come along once in a lifetime.
