Looking For:
I am a highly technical photographer looking to expand my creative side (it needs help). I am interested in working with creative, professional, models. My only interest is producing killer images. Not into hookups, drama, drugs, alcohol, any type of adult work, or work for paysites.
Looking mainly for CREATIVE fashion shoots, glamour shoots, and portraits.
I am currently working on a personal project that involves lady bikers. Contact me if you have a bike (has to be yours, prefer cruisers, you have to ride it, can't be hubby's, boyfriend's, etc).
I will do nudes on a case by case basis for models that I have worked with previously and am totally comfortable with.
Shooting:
I ALWAYS shoot with an assistant in the studio. She is there to help me, but is also available to help the model with anything that he/she needs. I almost always provide make-up, rarely provide hair or wardrobe unless the project needs something wild. Shoots generally run two or three hours. I try to shoot with a plan, so we need to talk before the shoot about styling, wardrobe, etc.
TFCD:
I will do TFCD with creative, talented, professional, models for projects that we can both benefit from. For me that means magazine submissions, or awesome images. I will NOT release unfinished images on CD, this is the one thing that I am not flexible about.
My TFCD works like this... we shoot for around 2 hours or so. If you are in or around Indy, you can come into the studio and choose the 18 images that you like best. Out of state, I choose the images, there is just no easy way to do it any other way, we have tried. In 4-6 weeks I will email you a link to download the images. There will be a set of websized images and a set that you can make prints from up to 8x12. My logo must remain visible on the images. I maintain copyright to all of the images, but will do a joint release if requested for projects, magazines, etc that are inline with my brand. All TFCD models must sign a standard models release form. Models may be asked to prove age so bring ID. Models under 18 years of age MUST BE BRING A PARENT! Parents will be required to sign a permission to photograph statement and a models release. Parents will be expected to be with the model the ENTIRE time we are photographing, NO EXCEPTIONS. Thanks!!!
Contact:
I travel quite a bit and shoot full time. I will get back to everyone as soon as I can.
