I am a full time professional photographer at SILVERGRAIN, and my specialties are
advertising, editorial and fashion photography with studio near South Station, at 15 Channel Center in Boston, MA.
I am here for a specific purpose: shoot portfolio work for a certain segment of commercial photography market, and not to give out free or cheap work. Each portfolio shoot must:
1. be conceptually well developed, well planned, and shot with a team of good people. I just don't shoot whatever you bring to the studio. I choose people carefully. So, if you want to work with me, expect some planning phase over email, phone, etc. It is not uncommon for the planning to take a few weeks before actual shoot takes place. But this is essential in creating good work.
2. be marketable in the highly competitive field of commercial photography. I'm generally interested in working with motivated people with the same goal and very good skill level.
3. have full release form, which is available from me if you care to read it in advance, but please, I don't need any drama about this. You will get a copy of images in a reasonable processing time, but paid client work will always take priority.
You can check out my work, read my artist statement, etc. at
http://silvergrain.com and see if you feel you could fit in my next shoot, please feel free to write me. Preferred way is email via silvergrain website.
One additional advantage of working with me is that, I'm also a professional headshot photographer. Check out my
headshots and beauty at BEAUPIX. I'm set up to shoot headshot and I do this all the time, so you'll get top quality beauty headshot every time you work with me, as a part of the photo package. Not particularly creative, but it is an essential business tool for everyone.
I've worked with many good people from this site and some of them became very productive long term collaborators... Model Mayhem has been great for me to experiment with a new idea, network with other people with excellent work, keep myself motivated and broaden my portfolio, and I'm here just for this purpose!!
