jre photo

I've been a model for years, and it has only been recently that I have stepped behind the camera. 

Currently I am working with Horst Couture, a fashion designer that creates seamless, one-of-a-kind, avante garde fashions.  From everyday wear to ballroom gown type dresses, Horst's fashions have graced runways and have been exhibited in museums across the country.  I have modeled for him for 7 years and have been photographing for him for a little over a year.  We are always looking for new models to wear his garments both on runway and in photographs. 

I am currently developing my own line of gothic/punk clothing...and will be activily seeking models to display both everday gothic/punk wear as well as gothic/punk prom and wedding dresses when I am finished with the line.

However, I am interested in gaining even further experience with other designers in the area.  So if interested, please send me a notice along with some pictures of your work.  Currently I am only doing studio work with this, unless the outdoors/site that you want me to shoot in has plugs for my strobes.  I will have travel charges if I have to go outside of my studio.  As of right now (please realize that this will soon change), I am looking to build my portfolio, so this would be a trade: I will provide you with my time and a CD of touched-up 8x10 photos at 300 dpi for you to use at your own descretion, but I will have the opportunity to use these images in any form that I wish.  You will provide the models and the clothing, and if necessary, the MUA(s) and hairstylist(s).  Remember, I will charge you if I have to go outside of my studio.  The further I have to travel, the higher the price...this is only to cover my travel expenses only.

Models:  I am currently looking for models of certain criteria to model for Horst Couture and my gothic line.  If interested, please send me your measurements, height, weight, a small head shot, and a small body shot (or a link to your model mayhem account, if you have all these available on your site).  I am looking for models that are willing to trade their time for a CD of images (CD will have a few cleaned up images at 8x10 size, 300 dpi, with permission to use images as you want, including self-promotion, printing, etc.)  I will NOT cover travel expenses.  INEXPERIENCED MODELS: please practice before hand.  We are looking for DRAMATIC poses, which is more than putting your hands on your hips and standing there.  Think ballet poses and look to high fashion magazines for inspiration.  I will help you SOME during the photoshoot, but do not expect me to hold your hand.

In addition, as I am starting to get requests:  I DO NOT DO NUDES, artistic or otherwise.  And I am not currently shooting any models in lingerie.  This may change in the future, but as of right now, I do not have the aspirations to shoot this.
