I'm a hobby level shutterbug with nearly 20 years of general photography & about 10 years photgraphing people, mostly non-professional models. I know I'm not great, but I'll never develop my style and make better images by reading books and perving profiles. So, if I contact you and you dont think my work is up to your standards, that's why I'm trying.
My primary experience is in landscapes, I've been all over the globe and taken photos in some of the most amazing places (check my DeviantArt gallery for those). I've also done event photos, weddings, motorcycle rallies, eyc. As far as shooing people I've done generic portraits, cheesecake shoots & nudes.
Just to put it out there, I'm not some gnarly old fart with a cheap point-n-shoot camera lookin for skin. I believe the body can be just as alluring, if not more so, without putting it all out there.
I'm open to any kind of shoot (I dont suprise easily), anything that helps me expand my experience base, but due to lack of space & equipment for a proper studio I tend to prefer outdoor or location shoots. Afterall, there's no shortage of great places to shoot on this island that match a variety of subjects/concepts.
I can typicaly offer models the edited images for thier use in a short time. If they want any, they can choose what images to make prints from, they are available at cost according to size and quantity.
As I typicaly have a busy schedule outside of photography, all shoots are by appointment and locations are flexible depending on time available.
Do I really have to mention flakes? I hope not.
I like to do an interview before doing an actual shoot so that I can get a direct look at whom I am going to be working with. It's good to get a better feel for the person, and more importantly they get a feel for me. Helps everyone relax when they have an idea of what to expect when the lense cap comes off.
I am fine with it if prospective models bring an escort for thier own peace of mind, I actualy reccomend it. It's not required by any means (unless model is a minor), but a person needs to be careful these days. I am almost always accompanied by my wife &/or room mate (also female) who also assists me with shoots as needed.
