About me
Please don't send FREQs without a reason. Msg me why.  Thanks!

www.surrealmodels.com

Out of the box photographer -- working in color infrared & full spectrum imaging I helped develop as a scientist.  I am selective about models I will work with.  Looking for models who have a natural look, unfettered or very distinctively fantasy/surreal aura.   Attitude makes a huge difference with me.

I don't shoot typical glamour, runway or run-of-mill bikini sets.  Creative models willing to go the extra mile, be open and spontaneous will get first priority.  Contact me for spring shoots schedule soon.

This art form: Color infrared model photography, is my own invention, and its appeal is hate or love for most.  It is photography, and not photoshopgraphy.

I do shoot  traditional color and B&W as well as my flavor of infrared.  Both use pro camera gear.  Infrared will highlight hair, give the face a glow and cause skin to radiate softly.

My scenic work is on display and sold at a variety of galleries, and is nationally recognized as some of the best and most original infrared work.  I began shooting models summer 2006 with the same technique.

My schedule gets full fast.  Will consider TFCD only with exceptional models.  I take my art seriously; I am not here to socialize or date (unless you are Angelina Jolie).  If I contact you, it will be for a TFCD shoot.
