Thanks for stopping by and checking out my profile. While I absolutely love this stuff, I am no longer taking trade shoots...

IF you are interested in working with me my prices are very reasonable. Since the time involved in my edits range from minutes to hours... I will give estimates based on requests at $40 an hour editing.

I typically start at $20 per edited image... but if you are looking for images to submit to agencies or are trying to win competitions-- edits require a bit more time and start at $40 an image.

I got my start in this stuff doing pretty much trade only... and am grateful to all the wonderful models I worked with-- Moving forward I am at a point where I am commercially selling my editing skills more than my photography and it's important to me that every image I post or give to a model meets a certain standard and involves a minimum of 30 minutes editing work each.

While I appreciate requests that are less involved and understand 30 minutes editing is not necessary for many images and model's needs-- they are for mine-- I want every image I post or give to a model to be the product of a good captured image as well as good digital editing.

I don't charge for shooting time or wardrobe changes if the model is willing to sign a waiver-- waivers are not all encompassing and there is a place for things to be added -- ie the model is comfortable with waiver for all but shots involving nudity etc... or a certain outfits-- If the model does not wish to sign a waiver the rate for shooting is also $40 an hour.

I have posted similar messages on various profiles in the past regarding no trade and inevitably still get near 80% trade requests. I have 5 friends I do trade work with but the rest is paid only-- the only exceptions would involve models that have posed for magazines like Maxim, Playboy... etc

If you are a local model expressing interest in working with me I will assume you are inquiring about a paid shoot. My rates are aprox $20 per edited image -- or $40 an hour editing.

For models wishing to travel to Knoxville -- I will consider reduced rates for exceptional models
