redbanana

Posts: 779

Lexington, Kentucky, US

Name: CJ Cruz

Location:Lexington KY

Primary Interests: Lighting, Fashion, Portraits maybe even a little wedding.

Compensation: $0 - what you think i'm worth. I'm looking to learn so if its holding a reflector i'm not expecting paying as long as you are also teaching me. If its being a second shooter or traveling out of town or spend a whole day on set, compensation would be required. I know i have to pay my dues but i also have to pay my bills.

Qualifications and other Details: I have been shooting photography for a long time just not in the fashion and portrait field. I come from more of a photojournalism background shooting more street photography and sports. I'm very confident in my talents but also know there is something missing that i'm hoping working with someone will help trigger. I'm cocky enough to know my talents are good but humble enough to know that to get to the next level i need to learn under someone better.
