I am a graduate of UCSB, having double majored in English and history. I am now a graduate student at Brandman University, where I am working on my master's degree. I am a full-time history teacher, which has made it difficult for me to find time for shooting.
One of my creative outlets, though, is photography. I'm more interested in weird photoshoots that involve make-up and costumes. I'm also interested in shooting some nude photography (not pornographic). I'd love to do some pin-up shoots. I'm also really hoping to find some rock-a-billy gals, or some alternative gals. Fun people! I just want to have a good time, have some laughs, and have someone eager and willing to go along for the crazy ride!
I usually do not charge, but I have a few times in the past for photoshoots that required more effort on my part outside of the shoot itself. Mostly, I prefer to do TFCD or TFP. I'm not in it for the money: I'm in it for the creativity and fun. I am willing to pay to work with models, but I'm not well-off enough to afford to pay every model. Hopefully, we can negotiate that if at all possible. I think my photos speak for themselves. If you want to speak to the models themselves as a reference, please do so.
I hope we can work together to produce something fun, quirky, and memorable!
