Chris McD

Tired of being shot on train tracks or wrapped in caution tape? GOOD! I won't try to do that!!!

My name is Chris McD. I am a professional television videographer (BRAVO, VH1, MTV, TLC, CMT...) with a passion for beautiful imagery. I am always trying to learn and exercise new techniques in composition and lighting and have found that photography is a fantastic way to do so. I have done several professional photoshoots for many high end clients, including magazine covers and websites, but still consider photography to be a "side project" of mine.

I generally shoot GLAMOUR photography. My goal is to make the model look like a celebrity or rockstar. I am full of ideas but also love blending creativity with my models and enjoy creating concepts together.

I tend to stay away from basic, boring photos that have been done a thousand times... I like to utilize bold colors, contrast, depth, and cool lighting when taking photos. I have no interest in shooting anything less. Feel free to contact me if you want something a little different from the norm.

TFP - Guess what... that's pretty much all I'm here to do! I'll say it right here and right now... I WILL NOT PAY YOU TO SHOOT, NOR DO I EXPECT YOU TO PAY ME. Time after time I've had models ask me if I would shoot with them and then after working out a great concept together, they ask, "so how much are you going to pay me for this shoot?" Doesn't really work that way. The payment for both of us are the photos we create together. It's funny how so many models state that "modeling is their passion" on their profiles, but will only do it if they get paid. If you are a model and are not yet agency represented, TFP is the best thing you could be doing to further your career.

All in all, I'm very serious about creating amazing photos. That's the bottom line. I am always very professional on set but funny and energetic at the same time. I make sure it's always fun.

BONUS: I'm not a creepy, old, pervy guy. I'm in my late 20s and very respectful!


ESCORTS: I have no problem with you bringing an escort when shooting. I want you to do whatever you need to feel comfortable!! However, please bring someone other than your mother, manager, or boyfriend/husband. In my experiences they always have an affect on the shoot, even though I was told "they won't even say anything the whole time"... Girlfriends and gay friends are always great though!!!!

FINALLY: After shooting, I am pretty good about getting you your photos to you within a week or two. I know a lot of times photogs can take forever to deliver but I strive to be quicker than that. You can at least expect your best photo of the whole shoot within a few days!
