        Something to know-If we haven't set a shoot schedule, more often than not it's because communication broke down. Please answer your email in a timely manner and I will too. I schedule and provide images from my email account-NOT on MM mail.

--------Please,see a very important note at the bottom of the profile.-------------

I returned to people photography in November 2008. Since then, I've met some pretty fantastic people. I've learned something from every one of them. I extend my sincere thanks to each for enriching my life. My photographic philosophy is that this relationship is a collaborative, creative process-your desires, ideas and suggestions are paramount to a successful shoot. My goals are very simple:
    -Build my skills
             -Create good art
    -Build a reference library for my brush art-watercolor and oils
    -Meet new models and create some new friends
    -Help whoever I can by helping to build great portfolios at a minimum cost
              by using Trade For (TF) concept-you pose for me/I provide images

I am happy to work on a TF basis with models seeking to build or update their portfolios. I'm not in this commercially at this time-there is no profit motive. If you want to donate or contribute to the cost of maintaining the studio, that's up to you. Consider the value you received and do what you feel is appropriate.

FIVE easy steps to work with me:

1. Review this port and my linked gallery (http://v2-boy.deviantart.com/) and portfolio (http://gryphonvisualarts.daportfolio.com) to familiarize yourself with work that I do and have done. I keep these galleries up to date and hate the restrictions that MM has recently imposed. I do figure work as well as other styles. I may ask if you would like to participate. It's a tribute and compliment to your beauty and curves. I keep my DA account up to date...it's larger and more representative of my total body of work than 20 or 100 images here on MM.

2. Review the Model Comments in the Tag section below and feel free to contact any of them to assure yourself of my work ethic, conduct and performance;

3. Contact me at grif80128@comcast.net and provide a schedule of your availability and a contact number-we can't work together unless we synch schedules and communicate;

4. Maintain contact with me by cell and/or internet-if you're not interested enough to be professional, why be here? This is important...if you want to be treated like a professional then behave like one-answer your e-mails and calls. My time is worth $$$, too.

5. Please, ask any and all questions that you have to resolve issues of comfort, safety and security before we schedule the shoot. I will answer all questions posed or find the answer for you because your comfort and security is important to me!

I am willing to travel to you and I am willing to react to a short notice request, if we are working to mutually beneficial goals.

What I ask of you is simple behave like a professional-communicate in a timely manner, which simply clarified means answer your e-mails quickly-don't lose a shoot because you aren't managing your priorities and time. If asked for a recommendation by another artist, I will be totally honest.

Gryphon Visual Arts extends best wishes for a successful, safe, prosperous, healthy and happy 2011 to all. Let's make some art.

*****Ladies! Please, please maintain your breast cancer awareness, do self-screening and get routine professional screenings. It's important and could be life saving. Don't think you're too young to have it happen to you! We're here to support you. We want you around and in good health! To my dear model friends-You know who you are! I'm praying for you and you are in my thoughts daily!*****

********HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS? See this blog from my friend, Melissa. http://melissabingham.blogspot.com/ and muse Che at MM#1563447. Cancer can strike anyone at anytime. Do NOT fool yourself and move blythely into the unknown future. I'm serious about this. This is devastating to the afflicted, their family, their friends, and co-workers. Join with me with your prayers for our model friends and sisters. Why is this down here? It's the last thing you read and I hope that it will be the first thing you remember! **************************************************
