I love to help Models get interesting shots, that they like, for their portfolio.
PLEASE READ BELOW about my rates and if you Flake or don't give at least a 48 hour cancelation notice.
Just finished shooting the Red Carpet at The MN Black Music Awards ... what a blast & great shots !!!
I've just opened my new Studio in the Old Grain Belt Brewery Buildings in N.E. Mpls (
www.GBStudio211.com ) and have been accepted into the MILL DISTRICT GALLERY in downtown Minneapolis ... and now THE ARTIST GALLERY !!! What great places to have my work displayed !!
Come see my work at The St Paul ART CRAWL on the 6th floor of the Rossmor Building on Robert St. above the Keys Restaurant, or at my Studio during Art-A-Whirl in N.E. Mpls May 20th - 22nd.
I showed my work last year at the Fall Art Crawl in St. Paul and Sold 6 pieces !!
2 of my pieces have just been accepted for the 5th Annual Kingfield Art Show & Silent Auction ! UPDATE ... both pieces sold !!
Rates: My current rate is $ 45 per hour... way under industry rates for the quality. However if you can bring some excitement to my portfolio that I don't already have, I will consider TFP, a test shoot or other compensation.
Please understand ... this is a business for me, that if a Model schedules a shoot, and flakes ( doesn't show or doesn't give at least a 48 hour cancelation notice ) that I charge a $ 100 re-scheduling fee, & the Model goes on The Photographer's Of MN networking sight, that they are a Flake ... not a serious Model.
*** Currently shooting for a Bikini Company website .. please E for details, as this is on going.
*** Currently selecting Models for the open spots on our last run for personal 2011 calendars ... starting the selections for 2012 calendars ---- Nudity is involved.
I'm a digital Photographer with 10+ years of experience helping Females build their portfolios, 5+ years teaching Photography at the University of Minnesota, and one on one classes ... and my rates are very reasonable, lowest in the industry for good quality work & a fun shoot!
I also have 3 or 4 years of Adobe Photoshop experience, for when we need to do a little bit of touching up.
Drive by Friends Requests: Please, if you're going to send a "Friends Request" please at least view & comment on a couple of my photos, then we can easily be Friends & I'll return the favor.
This is how we can all help each other learn our strengths.
Models … the photographs that you post should be the best shots of you that you can possibly get, as they represent you. If the photos aren’t, or don’t appear professional, then you most likely won’t be getting professional jobs from them.
Yes, a professional Photographer will cost some money, however, 90% of the time, if you’ve gone to a good professional Photographer, it will pay off for you.
Just good looks and good poses doesn't make it ... if the Photographer doesn't use effective lighting, or doesn't have a good eye for a great shot, the good photos are missed.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

TEST SHOOTS: " People don't usually hire an unknown from pictures and references (unless you are famous and have a reputation built). Clients don't know if it took you 1000 photos to get only one good one or if you move well during shoots or require tons of direction so a test is the way they establish if you have what they are looking for. Doing non-paid test shoots are common place for agency or non-agency represented models. " Ford Agency
