The best way to view my work is to simply Google sumonicus for images. I am also on G+ under Steve Hale in Winterville, NC. If you're not on G+ yet, you are missing out!
It appears that the messaging service here has problems from time to time so use sumonicus@yahoo.com if you need to reach me.
My name is Steve. The job that pays the bills is accounting; yes, a number cruncher. Don't be fooled though, once I step into the phone booth and rip off my clothes...never mind.
I have been interested in photography for years but began to take it more seriously with the birth of my first son (I have two boys - a toddler and a baby). I started out shooting pics of him, then of the local landscape, and soon the local paper contacted me about freelancing for them (which I still do). I started taking lots of pictures of people and fell in love with capturing the emotion and beauty of those I came in contact with.
Most of my pictures are on Flickr.com. Awards? None. I'm not looking for a pat on the back, I've never entered my pictures in a contest (although I may at some point). I simply love to take pictures and when we work together, you'll see that. I often smile behind the camera while I'm working.
I'm a detail guy. I will look at your pose, maybe take a pic or two and then, if I see something I don't like, I'll fix it. It may be the way your foot is turned, or adding an article of clothing, or turning the head or body a bit - small things that make a large difference. If something is not right, I will see it.
I do very few TF shoots now. If you're just looking for some snapshots on a CD there are plenty of "pros" on MM that will give you that but think about it, there's a reason they don't charge you. That being said, I will still consider shooting TF if you are new to the show or if you can add something special to my work. Contact me and let me know what you have in mind. My rates are extremely reasonable.
At the end of the day, I just want to take some great pictures with you! All models that work with me sign a Model Release form.
