****UPDATE****

I am on sabbatical in Beijing until August of next year.

I will be spending this time doing personal work, which will highly differ from much of my current portfolio. I am currently not looking for purely high fashion and beauty models.

I am, however, seeking subjects with theatrical/acting backgrounds that can portray an emotional range outside of just sexy glances. Right now I am more interested in giving my viewers a smile or a head scratch than an erection.

All body/facial/appendage types will be considered.



The jungle is a place of terror, arduous stress, and perpetual bedlam. Rarely does a wanderer come out unbroken, for he has been tempered by chaos, born of inexhaustible force of nature over man. For none of these reasons, Joshua began to take pictures. He found a camera and picked it up, mistakenly thinking it was a kaleidoscope. Since then, he has used it to constantly pour the little jeweled images in his brain into a picture, and often does it while speaking in the 3rd person. He loves what he does and loves to work with new people. He does not, however, venture into the jungle.


This really is an unhealthy obsession for me and I am always on the look out for great ideas and interesting techniques.

I don't really believe creating the exact same image with different models. I also don't believe that a model has to be anorexic. I love using many body types and only really care about making the most interesting and artistically powerful image.

I do believe, however, that Mariokart is a zen therapy.




ABOUT TFP/CD:

I do EXTREMLY few TF*. This is an obsession, but it is also my job. You think my stuff rocks? Awesome, thanks. You want to look awesome? Awesome, I can make it happen. And it may cost less than you think.

When I do take a TF*, the rules here be:

-A model release is Mandatory. This protects you and me. No ifs, ands, buts, or undulations. 

-I never, ever, give out CD's of raw images. Evar.

-After the shoot, you will be given a link to a site with all the proofs.

-You pick 3 that you want edited, and I edit them and give you web sized images with my watermark at the bottom, along with a printed 8x10 of each.

-Just can't narrow down to just 3? Awesome, additional images can be edited for a fee, as well as additional prints.




ABOUT RANDOM FRIEND REQUESTS

Sit down, dear. We need to talk.

This passive friend adding really needs to stop. I'm flattered you want to be my friend, truly I am, and I know that racking up friends on here is the only way you're going to get to level 15 and find the princess, but would you be ever so kind as to send a little tag/message this way when you go about it?

Want to shoot with me? Admire my work? Have services to offer? Make an outrageous Black Forest Cake? Great! Just let me know the deal. We photographers won't hurt you, promise. I myself have never bitten anything that wasn't from a plate, bowl, or mail-order catalog. Otherwise, I may just have to ignore your request and leave you weeping on the doorstep.
