Painted Alley Creative

With most shoots, I look to try something different to help bring a unique edge to my work.  Whether it's in studio or on location or outdoors, I'm interested in creating images that are both beautiful and unique.  I would describe my work as "beauty with an edge".  I'm not the guy who will schedule a shoot for the sake of scheduling a shoot.  I want my work to have meaning, to push the envelope and include concepts that are original.  I often spend hours on the preparation for each shoot whether it's finding the right dress or renting an antique chair and old street lantern.   

With me, there won't be any bad surprises.  Yes, my portfolio does have a small amount of nude and implied nude images.  I'm not interested in shooting nudity for the sake of nudity.  I prefer to use it as a weapon to create a more powerful image. 

I have access to studio space as well as portable studio lighting.  Pretty much any location can be a studio.

If you like my work, or have a wild concept, send me a message.  Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Joel
