I’m an amateur photographer, amateur meaning only that I earn my living doing something else.  I’m reluctant to call myself an artist because I’m not really sure what that means.  I’ve been photographing seriously since 2004 and primarily shoot landscapes, cityscapes, waterscapes ... well you get it, scapes of all sorts.  I’m also keenly interested in macro photography.  When not shooting macros I prefer black and white photography for the deviation from reality you get.
I am looking for models (primarily female) to pursue their artistic side. This means full & partial nudity in the most tasteful ways of photography.
I am searching for models comfortable doing figure studies (read figure nudes) or think they might be should they feel comfortable with the photographer.  Anonymous types of shots that hide the face are options for those concerned about their identity in such shots as are photo editing techniques to remove easily identifiable markings (tattoos, etc.). 
If you’re not sure what type of photography I’m referring to think Edward Weston, Robert Farber, or Pascal Baetens.  This would be considered fine art types of images and would include (for me at least) implied nude, semi-nude, artistic nudes and figure studies. I AM NOT interested in explicit erotica of any kind.  If you’re looking for a photographer for that sort of thing I’m not the guy. For the novice model check out the definitions provided by photographer Marc Whipple in the article  Types of Nude Photography for more information on different levels of nudity.
If you choose to book with me you will find that I am a competent, polite, and professional in all my dealings.  I will book paid, TFP, or combination sessions.  Note that if you accept a booking for a TFP session, I will not only give you prints and digital files for that session, but will provide images that are suitable for your own personal and/or professional use.  In other words I’ll trade a fine art session for head shots or other shots that you need for your own portfolio.  My preference is paid bookings and your level of experience is not relevant. I expect that since I am building a new port in this area that experienced models would prefer paid sessions ... afterall I'll be learning also. Lesser experienced models want to build their own port should contact me also ... paid or TFP depending ... as the case may warrant.
For more information please contact me.  I’ll be happy to provide you with example images of what I’m looking for, a copy of my model release, and a list of rules and guidelines associated with a photographic session.  Please note, you are encouraged to have an escort and/or helper (especially if makeup assistance is needed) whether or not the shoot involves nudity. However, anyone you bring is required to be quiet and respectful while the session is in progress. I will be respectful and professional with you and only ask that you return the favor.
