I am a photographer, singer, musician, poet, model, and avid book reader. I enjoy cold seltzer & traveling the world. I work full time in a psychiatric hospital and am also in school full time to become a therapist/social worker.
I am here to make art, not money. Please no big egos or attitudes.
How a good shoot feels when it's over: Emmanuelle and I:
My long winded spiel:
I shoot only film. I do not shoot digital.
All of my double exposures are done on the film itself,
all my shots are minimally processed and color corrected.
[b]I am not a commercial photographer. I will not pay you to model for me, even if I am in love your work. You're not paying me for my craft either right? /b] I am happy to supply models with a CD/Emailed images (usually 10+ fully edited, not 2 like other photogs), home cooked dinners, silly jokes, non-licensed therapy, red wine, and/or high fives. Capiche? Word.
I want to give models a very different set of photos than she/he already has in their portfolio. There is so much generic digital junk out there that can make anyone with $2000 bucks and two working eyes can seem like a decent photographer. To me, it is boring work, over manipulated on a computer, airbrushed, photoshopped to pieces, etc. No offense to the Photoshop Wizards, I just feel they are different art forms. I would rather spend my time behind a camera than on a computer editing all day. A photographer can only do so much. People are beautiful anyway. If you just let people show their natural beauty and attempt to capture it in a moment, it's going to be better than micro managing them and editing their every freckle. But that's just me. Hence the name, Primitive Images.
I love listening to models who have ideas for a shoot that they really want to do, I live to actualize those dreams! I also would love to meet other model/photographers that I could exchange shoots with, I model, you model, we both go home with new photo's of each other and ourselves!
Please feel free to contact MM models I've worked with:
#865870 - Erin "Soul Shine" - A kindred spirit with a wonderful face and a beautiful cat! She made my entire trip to Oregon a beautiful experience and is an incredible model.
#442856 - Erica - A powerful model with exceptional eyes. She has a sweet grace about her and really knows how to get "that" shot you are looking for. An absolute pleasure to work with.
#1289925 - Kace Face - A spunky sense of humor, a willingness to get naked in public, a fierce and gorgeous body, tattooed and pierced, outrageous and fun. What else could I ever ask for?
#355856 - Coli - Amazing poses come from this beautiful dancer and model. She has a sweet and innocent face and eyes that could break hearts. A wonderful spirit to capture on film.
#441849 - Caylie - She has the ability to transform into about 3000 people in the course of 5 rolls of film. A great model with an amazing smile.
Things I am looking to shoot:
1.) Outdoor nudes. Industrial landscapes.
2.) Fine Art Black and White. Solo & Couples.
3.) People willing to wear a lamp shade on their head. Preferably nude. This series is turning out awesome.
4.) As always, double exposures of all kinds. Want one of you?
Anything else, let me know. I'm always up for new ideas!
