For years, I have been shooting live music and musicians.  Fun and challenging, yes -- but I'm in a rut.  Knocking about in the pit shooting with available light and red gels... I'm kinda over it, and I need something new.

As my style and interest evolves, I am concentrating on expanding my portfolio by doing more creative work in the studio and on the run in the street.  I am not particularly interested in taking pretty pictures unless I get to play with light.

I am looking for models in the SF Bay Area with an indie/alternative/hipster vibe for promo-style shots in-studio at my loft or on location in (sub/)urban areas.  If you are a musician who wants to do publicity shots, let's talk.  I also have ongoing projects that require a number of different looks.

I run non-photography-oriented companies that pay my bills, which leaves me free to pursue only those projects that really interest me.  I am professionally-minded with a laid-back and easygoing manner.  Shooting with me is fun and enjoyable -- or it should be, anyway.  I expect similar attitude and work ethic from those I collaborate with. 

No flakes, please -- time is one of my only finite resources.

Oh, and I don't shoot while nude, so please don't ask. ;-)
