About me
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/MainHeader.jpg

Hmmmmmmmmm... about me, huh

Well, I'm David and I doubt 90% of you will ever read any of this but for the 10% that actually might be interested.... here you go.

I picked up photography quite by accident back in December 2006 and have been addicted to it ever since.... but I am still learning. By no means do I consider myself a professional photographer. I like to think I'm an experienced amateur that somewhat knows what he's doing.

I'm not above myself to say that I'm one of the big dawgs in here but I can proudly say you could do alot worst......

I don't have a niche per say as I enjoy all genres of photography and one day soon I will find mine, but in the meantime I just like doing what comes to mind. I will say however that I have had the opportunity to take photographs of fully clothed to nude models and my favorite which I consider my strength is bikini.

A large majority of the photos subjects in my port are close friends and could not be more grateful for their time and trust.

If you are visiting my profile for the first time, welcome and enjoy the view. If you're experienced, amateur or even someone who just likes to have their picture taken and you are interested in working with me, please feel free to send a message.

* Everyone has requirements and listed below are mine.
If ours mesh thats great, if not... someones always will.

* Clients pay models.
Photography is a serious hobby of mine and I do not profit submitting photos to publications.

* I deal with 18+ models directly, meaning no managers, agents, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, husbands, etc, etc....

* I am not interested in shooting nudes, they actually kinda bore me.
FYI - IMPLIEDS are NOT NUDES

* I ask to collaborate once and wont ask again if you choose to decline or don't reply to a message after 3 days of reading it.
If there is time to log onto Model Mayhem, read a message..... theres 30 seconds to be a professional which I assume you are, to send a quick reply.

* TF offers expire one week after acceptance.
There are 168 hours in a week and I only need 4 of them.

* Will I get the other unedited pictures for TF?
No, I will not allow any of my work that is lesser in quality floating around the internet. Even if you promised me you will not post them anywhere, the answer is still no. I hope you understand and don't let my decision keep you from shooting with me.
- statement borrowed from Karl Yamashita.

* Photos you will receive.
You will receive up to 5 edited photos per look.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/2.jpg
Photo sessions are not booked or confirmed unless done verbally by phone in which the number provided just to let you know is a land line.
If you text the number that will be provided and don't get a reply,  then that would be because you didn't read this part.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/3.jpg
Your REAL appearance:
In person, if you do not look like the photos in your port for TF sessions or if you're getting compensated please let me know now because once we arrive on location and you dont, I apologize in advance... I will just leave.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/4.jpg
French tip manicure/pedicure is required and I will not accept anything else.
If you cannot afford or have time to get a manicure/pedicure done, heres a little $10 secret... Press-Ons work great!!
In short, if all 20 nails are not done I wont even pick up my camera.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/5.jpg
My escort policy is very simple.
JUST ONE interference from your escort, the photo session is over, all photographs will be deleted immediately and any other deal is void.
So my advice is to choose your escort wisely!!
Any person/persons other than the model are considered an escort R*E*G*A*R*D*L*E*S*S of reason.
I allow escorts as a courtesy, please do not mistake that as your right.
When I am taking photographs, your escort must be behind you off to the side and at least 50ft away.
If the above is not satisfactory then there is nothing further to negotiate.
All of the above applies unless you are under the age of 18 and your escort is a parent or guardian.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/6.jpg
If you by chance happen to be a model I am paying, whatever your rates are, I will only pay half for the inconvenience. If you bring 2 escorts I will pay a 1/3, if you bring 3 escorts I will pay a 1/4, so on and so on......
Any person/persons other than the model are considered an escort R*E*G*A*R*D*L*E*S*S of reason.
JUST ONE  interference from your escort, the photo session is over and you will not be paid... and yes I pay AFTER not before.
So my advice is to choose your escort wisely!!
I allow escorts as a courtesy, please do not mistake that as your right.

Bottom line is this.... If I am paying you, you're on my time.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/7.jpg
If I am the one being paid, bring whoever you want but I will not be held accountable if your escort is a distraction and it reflects in your photos.
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm23/photographybydavid/8.jpg
I know what you're thinking after reading all that, if you even made it this far is.... 'Man, this photographers a jerk!!'

Believe me... I'm really not, I'm a hella cool mofo and bunch of fun to work with. Its just all the previous negative experiences before that have made it this way.

Just don't waste our short amount of time and I promise, you and I will get along like peas and carrots!!!!

smile


Ohhhhh yeah, I alllllmost forgot.......
To date I have had cancellations due to 9 grandparents, 5 uncles, 6 aunts, 12 cousins and countless other non immediate family members that have 'died' just mere hours or even minutes before a scheduled appointment but neeever-eeever any immediate family members like a father, mother, sister or brother... strange, huh? Heck, one time a SAME grandmother died 2 weeks in a row.... once on a Monday then the next week on a Thursday, not to mention all the countless car accidents, food poisonings, collapses, car got stolen, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc....
.... See where I'm going with all this?

If you need to cancel, be a professional and do so respectively.
