Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you shoot TFP (trade)?
If you have a look I can use and you do art nudes  - then yes..
If you have a look I can use and you do NOT do art nudes, then you need to bring some amazing costume wardrobe along..
I require a full commercial release be signed for all TF shoots...

I DO NOT pay models unless a client is paying me for the shoot. (in which case I will use someone I trust and have a history with).. Please, NO SOLICITING!

Do you shoot Male Models?
I am always looking to work with male models with ruggedly handsome(masculine)looks...

Paid Shoots
My rates are reasonable and affordable. I can work with virtually any budget. Please call me at 404-396-0126 to book your shoot today...

Makeup/hair
I do not provide a Makeup Artist or Hair Stylist for TF shoots but can always provide one when you hire me at the appropriate rate... (Also, bear in mind I do a lot of retouch in Photoshop, so neither is absolutely necessary when shooting with me..)

Wardrobe
I encourage the models I work with to bring long dresses/skirts, high collar blouses, corsets, costumes, old wedding dresses, wigs, and any kind of "period" wardobe.. I can provide beautiful vintage wardrobe for our shoot, but not for free..

Escorts
UPDATE - I no longer allow escorts for CLOTHED shoots! Please feel free to check with any model I have worked with for a reference. I am always professional in my words and actions and behave as a true gentleman - it is up to you to do your homework and verify that.. Again - you can contact anyone I have worked with!
(Nude models working with me for the first time are allowed to bring an escort, but please don't let it be a jealous significant other!)

Concepts 
Concepts are contingent upon wardrobe and how you look in front of my camera, therefore I do not discuss my concepts with models before our first shoot... I also do not shoot model's concepts (unless it is very unique and of interest to me!)

Editing/Post-Processing
The style of processing I do takes me a long time to complete, so I ask for patience from anyone I work with.
I typically do one stylized edit per look; 2 to 3 total (digital files emailed to you) is pretty much standard for a shoot (please note, this is not a guarantee).   
Finally, I ask that you please respond to edits as I send them to you (a simple "thank you" or "got it" will suffice), otherwise I will assume you are no longer at that email address and I won't send you any more images!
