As you can see from my portfolio, locational-portraits have been my focus, and it has allowed me to build my business and portfolio. However, as I have grown as a photographer my aspirations for more artistic work has also grown. Therefore I want to work with models who want to push the boundaries and take both of our portfolios to new levels…. And I am willing to forgo paid work in lue of TFP collaborations that do just that.

I ENCOURAGE you to CHECK MY REFERENCES. I provide model mayhem links on most of my images specifically for that purpose. Feel free to contact any or all of the models that I have worked with. I always conduct my shoots in a professional, relaxed, fun manner… and I have always returned pictures within 1 week of the shoot (usually sooner).

Your comfort and security are important to me and I encourage all models to bring an escort when we shoot together, if they wish.

My work is very good, and I get paid very well for taking pictures for weddings, parties, portraits etc., so I know that there is value in my work. Therefore, I never pay models. Please do not inbox me about your “reasonable” rates… because please remember that I am forgoing my “reasonable” rates for TFP collaborations also.

I do not have a studio. In fact, I prefer to shoot on-location, using 100% natural light. I feel it creates the best results, it’s organic, it’s about capturing beauty and harnessing the energy of a moment.

I'm more than happy to work with independent, freelance models, as well as models represented by agencies. I'll even work with beginners, if you are considerate, passionate and responsible.


Please inbox me about any exciting ideas that you have for a collaboration. I am interested in the following concepts:

-Human body as art: become the statue, mannequin, or even the painting on the wall

-Implied Nude: the human body is art in itself, nothing else is needed... just let me know how comfortable you are

-Model with car: classic or modern

-Roof Top Scene- from the classic Richmond backdrop to some cool over the edge perspectives

-Close-ups of body parts: a montage of your favorite/ unique body parts (we all have them)

-Interactions with nature: Become a kid again, you go play outside and I'll be the paparazzi

-Vintage shoots from any decade prior to 1990: you know the fashion fads/trends that defined the 20's, 30's, 50's, 70's and 80's

-Boudoir: a sophistication elegance way to photograph models partly clothed or in lingerie

-Body-paint: just bring the paint... the rest is magic

-Sexy Bakery: take a kitchen add flour with a sprinkle of imagination

-Crazy Hair: anything from neon, afro, pigtails, spiked, really short, really long ext

-Costumes: do you have an left over halloween costume or outfit

-Mask: sometimes not seeing the model's face can really add intrigue, so put on any mask of your choosing and pair it with any outfit that you want... the odder the pairing the more interesting the shoot
