About Me

Thanks for stopping by.  My name is Doug and photography is one of my passions.  I have been involved in photography for many years and have been doing portrait photography since 2008. 

THIS IS ONE OF TWO MODEL MAYHEM SITES: http://www.modelmayhem.com/DougLSmith (MM #739874) and http://www.modelmayhem.com/LaveenPhotography (MM #1077776).

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

visit my new PHOTOGRAPHY WEBSITE: http://www.laveenphotography.com.

My first goal is to increase my skills as a photographer and to build my portfolio.  Thanks to all of the outstanding models that I have worked with and whom I consider 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 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 is really what makes it all come together. I am always open to your thoughts and ideas about a shoot. 

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. 

Models generally get proof-size copies of all of the photos taken the evening of the shoot.  By the time I go to bed (which is not very late) I will probably send out 6 - 10 edited photos as well.  I will edit any photos the model wishes and give them full-size jpgs for their use.  When we are done editing you will get a DVD with all of the proofs and all of the full-size edited photos (that way you can clean off your hard drive).

If you are interested in having a fun shoot and/or have ideas for some great photos please contact me.

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

Models That I Would Not Recommend:

Arizonas Juliet (MM #2186496) - Seems like a nice model and has a nice portfolio.  We got everything arranged for a photoshoot and then she quite communicating.  No explanations, good or bad.  She might work out for you but I felt she was unprofessional.

Jamie Valida Bourne (MM #2384063) - I had a photoshoot lined up with Jamie and another model for about a month.  We had set a theme, discussed wardrobe, and were all set.  Then she is a complete no-show with no explanation.  Not only did I make a 60-mile roundtrip but the other model had to arrange for childcare for her two kids.  I have since tried contacting her and she will not respond.  Very unprofessional and very rude, not only to me but to the other model.

rfelix (MM #2914780) - Arranged to shoot and then never followed up after repeated text messages and messages on Model Mayhem.

Hey! Did you get my message? I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience & I Aim on coming from CA to Phoenix around August 27th - September 3rd before going towards NM. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to? ABOUT ME; I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Asia, Hawaii, & now in North America with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks. IG; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
Please let me know if you are interested & have a preferred day/time to shoot along with what area you are coming from or have in mind to shoot. Please let me know if you are ok with doing a deposit or if you only pay cash on the day. If you are interested to work with me but not sure when/where/how, please let me know anyway so I know to follow up closer to my arrival. My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details. Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
