About me
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER MODEL MAYHEM SITE AT: http://www.modelmayhem.com/LaveenPhotography (MM #1077776).

YOU CAN ALSO SEE A BROADER RANGE OF PHOTOS ON MY FLICKR SITE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclist451/

Thanks for stopping by.  My name is Doug and photography is one of my passions.  I have been doing portrait photography since 2008.  My first goal has been to increase my skills as a portrait photographer and to build my portfolio.  Thanks to some outstanding models that I have worked with and whom I consider my friends, I have come a long way. 

A second and more important goal is to have fun at what I am doing and to do my best to see that the people I work with have fun as well.  I want my photo shoots to be a fun experience for everyone.

I also believe that the photo shoot is a collaborative effort.  Some photographers imply that they do all of the work and models just pose.  I do not believe that.  The expression and feeling that you bring to a photoshoot is really what helps bring it together. I am always open to your thoughts and ideas about a shoot.  That is also why you get copies of all of the photos taken and all of the photos that I edit.  You worked every bit as hard as I did, so your deserve getting everything.

My photographic interests are broad. I suppose my people and portrature photos lean toward the category of Lifestyle photography; however, I also enjoy street photography, landscapes, cityscapes, nature scenes (flowers, birds, etc), and sports. Photography is my hobby, not a business. I am interested in working with anyone who is willing to model TF*.  Escorts are always welcome.   

If you are interested in having a fun shoot and/or have ideas for some great photos please contact me. Also check out my other photos on my Flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclist451/). 

Feel free to send me a message here or preferably to my email address, cyclist451@yahoo.com.  If you have not contacted me before here at MM, please let me know that you saw my profile here.

Technically these ladies were not modeling form me.  This is more of a snapshot of two of the Phoenix Cardinal Cheerleaders at the Grand Opening of a Safeway store.

No models, just street shots.

Terrific portfolio, congrats!

Regarding the image of the fox, he approached me; as a result I'm unsure as to who was more nervous....

Yep I really didn't like the tree either. I would have probably put it further left...maybe half of it out of the picture. I think if you had cut it out all the way it would have made the picture a lot more NORMAL. If I had framed it...I would have included about half the tree..with the other half exiting stage left...just my opinion.

Refreshing your message was dear Doug. Your choice of subjects also reflects your wonderful attitude, your honest approach. The difference between our work is perhaps the backgrounds as you mention quite eloquently. You have shown me your subjects as well as their immediate surroundings, giving me even more information than just the subjects on their own. You have my gratitude for the kind words and for the wonderful work.

Much respect,

Halim

PS Should you LIKE to see the backgrounds behind my subjects, that is what my video work is for my dear good man. Just send me a note with your email address and you will receive a short five minute clip regarding one of the portraits from my MM page. : )
