Please, Read My Entire Bio before inquiring for a shoot.
I'm announcing semi to full resignation in modeling. I will be keeping my confirmed shoots until this December.
Any travel shoots will be in your expense (i.e. trade for flight or hosting and commuting if needed).
And I will be taking only paid local shoots. I am open to negotiations regarding my model fee, so don't hesitate to ask.
I'm currently going to school full-time which is why I can no longer afford any Trade shoots as that time should be spent learning and improving my craft as a musician and audio engineer.
Available FOR HIRE only
But! Currently Trading Shoots for :
Music equipment.
A sloppy jalopy.
a flight to Miami, FL (RT...?)
Inter-Island flights within Hawaii
If I need any more photos it will be only out of greed.

Me:
I'm always pleasant to work with bringing positive energy to a shoot. I'm very down to earth and appreciate creativity in original work. I take my work seriously while still having fun with it. I have determination in positive execution of a shoot. I can incorporate many different looks, styles, concepts, and emotions. I work well when refreshed with new, creative and original ideas. So if you have crazy ideas, don't be afraid to ask.
What I model:
Fine Art Nudes
Fashion/Beauty
Conceptual or editorial
Art Figure modeling
High Fashion Nudes
Counter Culture
Fetish and or Abstract/ Artistic Nudes
Body Paint or Clay
Outdoor/ Indoor

Artistically, and musically ambitious.
Glamor? Yes, But only as far as Maxim style. NO GLAMOR NUDES.
Erotic? Yes, but only if we've shot before, and only in a editorial or photo-journalistic style.
With other models? Yes, but we must compliment eachother, and I must have some sort of communication with him/her/them before the shoot date.
Inquiries:
I am available for Hire, and I am always open to negotiations. Please message me for inquires.
I like to prepare mentally as well as physically. Therefore, I plan in advance, and don't like to cancel.
Please include when and where the shoot will be, its contents, and shoot duration when inquiring.
Terms:
I am available for hire only. Negotiations for trade shoots are open only if I have worked with you before, if you were referred to me by a photographer or model I know, or if I am traveling to your City and may trade for hosting, transportations, or such.
But please keep in mind that my time is precious, and TF's do not always compromise with my schedule.
I will require 1-4 edits of the finished work. I'm usually not picky. I can accept photos of your choice. I am currently printing in 11x14. That means that when the time comes, I might request a high res copy of a photo you have given me before for printing/portfolio use only. Or you can provide me with a print 11x14.
Paid Shoots:
Cash or Paypal before or the day of please. Absolutely no checks unless you are part of a large organization for an event or workshop.
Travel:
I will travel anywhere, if all expenses are paid. Model fee will be waived if you give me a couple of days extra for me to book two or three other gigs in your area.
I travel for paid shoots and I'm Open to Negotiations.
If I have scheduled/confirmed with you and I am traveling to your city, I will require half the pay of our shoot agreement as a security deposit before I depart my home town (LA). This will not be refunded if you choose to cancel after I have left my home town. It takes a lot of time, money, and preparation managing a travel schedule.
I am very easy going. If you are unsure about our shoot in any way, just talk to me. But please let me know before my departure date from my home town which is stated above in my travel notices. I like communicating thoroughly all details before a shoot to make sure everything runs smoothly and effectively.
Love you all.

The BLACK LIST
I hate to have to do this. But, although, I love my job and it's a lot of fun, I do take my work very seriously. Please do not forget that this is still a Business and absolute professionalism is expected from both parties.
