GREGORY SMESTAD

Experienced photojournalist/documentary photographer – concentrating on Documentary Illustration, Ambient Light Portraiture, Artistic Nude and Romantic Fantasy genres. Much of my work is monochromatic. All of it straight-up - the art of fixing light and shadow - still just simple documentary - no overworked photoshop, no cropping - all images just as the light entered the lens.

MODLES WANTED FOR NEW WORK:

PORTRAIT: Seeking faces - archetypal beauty of any kind for sensitive, innocent, mysterious, languid, evocative, timeless, images.

ARTISTIC NUDE - No cheesy glamor nudes or forced erotic crap - No implied violence - just body beautiful - female, male, any body type, any age.

ROMANTIC FANTASY - ANTIQUE, STRANGE OR BIZARE: fit, vivacious, active capable, i.e. for horseback, water, wild places, remote outdoor locations, any weather any season, early morning, late afternoon etc.

I provide to any model I work with a selection of images on a CD from our session.

I am available for hire at very reasonable rates – especially for any kind of sensitive portraiture, earthy romantic fantasy or body scape - will even do an occasional wedding if given enough poetic freedom. I am very easy to work with and guarantee quality work.
