READ COMPLETELY, there will be a test********
Hello...I'm James.
I've spent over 12 years as a Full Time Professional Photographer...and I love it. I'm originally from New York, but now I'm LA based . I've worked for A.P.S. (Playboy) and Style Models Inc. .My images have been published, featured on television, and have received several awards.
My focus is to create images you can really use...ones that will get you work, an agent, web content, or help you get one step closer to your creative goals.
Whether it's submissions for an Agent or Magazine (Playboy, Maxim etc), web sets (Zivity,SuicideGirls,etc) Calendars, headshots, Promos, or just building your portfolio with usable images...we get it done.
The shoots are always laid back and fun....
Centrally Located- In Downtown LA between the Arts District and Little Tokyo

MODELS:
*PLEASE NO TFCD or Test Shoot requests
*Don't be a FLAKE...If late, CALL! or your shoot my be cancelled.
*Before booking, a contact number must be provided
*Secured parking is provided
*Shoots are 3-4 hour max
*I shoot Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday
*No escorts
-Escorts will distract both of us, no matter how "well meaning, supportive, and quiet"...It's not professional.
If you need an escort for:
1) Support ~You probably aren't ready for this industry yet
2) Safety ~Your choosing photographers without checking references
3) Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Parent issues~ You REALLY aren't ready for this industry
Feel free to contact any of my clients and models. This is a more professional way of insuring comfort and safety. We can even meet before the day of the shoot. Whether in my home studio or outdoors on location...the shoots are conducted responsibly, professional, fun, and with NO SURPRISES. .
You do not get every image taken. *I do a selective edit (you'll get a bunch of pics- approx. 15-50 in about 10 working days). Of those you choose 3 images to be fully retouched. A CD is then mailed to you.
SELF PORTRAIT: NO! not the model...look closer...clooooseeer.
