2020 has been an interesting year between canceled events, postponed events and government ordered lockdowns not much has been going on…till now. So lets take advantage of the good weather and start executing those great ideas we had during captivity!

For the Spring and Summer months I am looking for models and locations for outdoor shoots in the life style, fashion and swimwear areas and interesting locations

Will be in Miami FL this September and in 2022 I will be Orlando and Tampa Jan through Mar.

I have been doing photography professionally for many years, more than I like to count, mostly on a part time basis while pursuing a career in other fields and under several business names, related to Motorsports photography such as Performance Photography and Rennsport Photography (racing in German).

When I retired from the day job my intention was to devote all my time to the things I love, the workshops I ran for models and photographers for 20+ years and sports photography so I started Rennsport Photography for the sports, particuarly motorsports efforts. Unfortunately a back injury put most of that on hold for close to two years.

Presently looking to collaborate with models, designers and Make up/ Hair stylists to create interesting and unique images. Open to working with creatives of all experience levels . Since models have more varied methods of monetizing their work via sites like Only Fans I am open to collaborate in all genre on a trade basis with generous usage rights to images that suit their needs.

For over 20 years sponsored workshops for models and photographers, it was the longest running workshop series in New Jersey until put on hold in 2008 and while I will not be doing the six to eight workshops a year I have done in the past I do plan on starting some again, principally outdoor swimwear events at the Jersey shore or other locations.

I have a home studio and a private yard with pool (Heated) for both indoor or outdoor shoot

I have been on Model Mayhem since 2005 and safety for both models and myself is of prime importance. I know some beginner models are concerned about their safety, and they should be and the best way to insure your safety is to vet the people and locations you will be working with and to always let someone else know who you will be with ( I do too), where you will be and approximately what time you will be done. Best way to let the people you are working with that someone knows where you are is to call when you get to the location and let them know you have arrived safely and will call before leaving.. At public locations I have no problem with someone accompanying you, may put them to work. Since my studio is in my home I do not encourage bringing anyone else as space is limited other than a MUA or a second model as they can easily be a distraction . Public or private if they become a problem the shoot ends. This is never a problem with experienced models. Remember OUR safety is important ( and that includes my dog).

I am always looking to collaborate with models on TFP projects, especially outdoor ones.
All Work By Appointment.
