Newbies and those with little experience welcome. Avante garde, wacky personalities appreciated.
This profile is to showcase my nude/implied, and select portraiture.
I generally only TFP for nudes/implieds, but am open to negotiation.
I require a signed model release, Non-commercial use.
I will also barter my skills if you have an interest in learning film - large format cameras, medium format, film processing or darkroom printing.
Models, if you don't have an image of you that shows the real you (as in -
not digitally smoothed out, burnt out skin) I will request one.
I offer a print - mounted, matted, and signed, created on silver gelatin paper in my darkroom or an alternative process print. (Platinum/cyanotype, etc) Yes, I shoot film for this work..
Gas money, food and print is my typical offering.
No longer accepting TFP for portrait work.
Rates negotiable.
Formerly a lithographer, drawer, painter...
I'm here to make photographs, not CD's.
Darkroom and analog workshops here:

Sample images are all darkroom work:
Platinum/Palladium/Cyanotype/Gelatin Silver
I recently deleted my images here, but re-uploaded what I think are my best.
