Hiatus is over and the decision to continue the publishing of my work has been finally made. With 2 years having passed since the unexpected loss, it feels like the right time to continue. I am going to hit this harder than I ever had before.

I am welcoming models to come along for the ride. Size is not a deterrent and neither is experience. I welcome all models with a love for going outside of the social norms.

As for me, I am a published photographer. Most of my published work has been in the fields of landscape, editorial and journalism. I also have quite a few art and erotic art pieces that have been published over the years. My current project is a labor of love that was started nearly 10 years ago. It began as a tribute to my wife and Muse. After her tragic passing over 2 years ago, I hung up the camera and the entire project. After a lot of deliberation, I have come to realize that it would be a great disservice to NOT continue. Thus, here I am, looking for new models to share the journey. The project has transformed a bit, but the premise is still the same and the foundation shall still be deeply rooted in the expression of beauty as seen through my lens.

I am not a difficult photographer to work with. I am laid back and I do take model's suggestions into consideration during a shoot. I try to make them as fun as possible. The model's comfort zone is the most important part of the shoot, in my opinion. (*Note: I do think models tend to flourish once they decide to exceed their personal "comfort zone" and branch out. I have found that once that happens, the real model appears). I do not require nudity, though for some shots it is necessary. If you are uncomfortable with nudity, just say it in the beginning and all is good. With that said, there are some shots that require exactly what the require. When these things and the model do not work out, then another shoot is suggested. I am no tyrant. I am a perv, but that is obvious, based on my art. I am not a creep though, so don't worry.

You will find that I hold the model's security, comfort, and privacy paramount. Chaperons are always welcome, but I do have a rule about that. They need to be female and they need to be close enough to provide for your safety, but they can not be in the way of the shoot. This means they must not interfere physically or verbally. A shoot needs to be a creative meld between the photographer and the model. Outside influence usually just muddies the waters and occasionally brings the whole process to a halt. That's experience talking! Male chaperons add even more tension and create a voyeuristic vibe to the whole thing. Voyeurism in a photograph can add amazing appeal, but not so in the creation of the photo. With that said, all female chaperons can bring as many forms of communication that you deem necessary. They can even be armed if you prefer. As you don't know me until you know me, I take no offense. I'd also say that you can publicize the location of the shoot and can even do a background check on me using local LEO. Again, no offense taken. I'd like to add that you don't NEED a chaperon or any weapons, but I am sure that  would also be said by any and all weirdos as well.

If I haven't scared you away, message me. I am interested in getting shots whenever time allows. Include required compensation if necessary. Even if you are brand new and are looking for TFP, Compensation will still be given for time and transportation. This is a self-funded project, so the purse isn't deep. Fair compensation is still available.

p.s... If you are looking for a photographer, I don't do children or pet shoots. I will shoot a wedding, but probably only a nude wedding. LOL
