Allow Me to Introduce Myself
I am a professional photographer and videographer based in New York, NY. I frequently travel to Cleveland, OH and Tampa, FL. I am particularly interested in portrait, fashion, editorial, artistic and erotic photography. I'm a Taurus, which apparently means I'm straightforward, self-conscious, a bit stubborn and easily angered.

My Name
Since it seems to be a frequent question, my legal name is Robert James Hoan Sweet, and my parents have called me "Jimi" since the day I was adopted. "Jimi Sweet" is not a stage name, and I'm not nearly as egomaniacal as that name might suggest. It's just my name, and I love you.
My Rates
My rates are incredibly reasonable considering the amount of work I put into setting up a shoot. Model Mayhem members will receive a significant discount off of my hourly rate. Please send me a message if you'd like to set up a photo shoot.
TFCD
I know many Model Mayhem photographers don't do TFCD photo shoots. Personally, I've been struggling with a policy of my own because while I enjoy eating and paying my rent, I also like experimenting and working with models who can't afford my standard hourly rate. So here's the deal: if you think you have something awesome to bring to the shoot, if you think you can inspire me and make my jaw drop, then send me a message. I'll certainly consider shooting you, but you're going to have to work for it. Oh, and you're going to have to
read up on how my TFCD shoots work. Right now I am booking TFCD photo shoots for my Louis Vuitton project (see below).
Current TFCD Projects
If you are interested in shooting for my
Louis Vuitton project, please contact me. The Louis Vuitton project is an artistic nude/implied nude series featuring over $30,000 of Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas hardsided luggage and travel accessories. The images for the Louis Vuitton project are shot on a TFCD basis with the understanding that the images will one day appear in a gallery and/or coffee table book.
