I won 3rd at the National Juried Exhibition in Frederick, MD for "Determined" from the Amsterdam Bike Series. White Ribbon and cash prize! Yay! I am a Fine Art photographer who currently sells in a local gallery for my G-rated things and BentBox for my fine art nudes. https://goo.gl/Ygcf5c My specialty is low-light, night and special situations. I spend the summer trying to get hit by lightning. JK but half-true. I’ve shot all kinds of stuff since age 11 and have been shooting fine art nudes for 5 years. I welcome anyone who wants to work with me in the pool, ocean and at full moons. Upcoming project: Winter nights in Big Cypress At this moment I’m creating romance book covers and similar content. You can view this page with 56 collective awards that shows how I have used my models in the past: https://www.viewbug.com/member/donframe#/donframe/awards?filter=topclass South Florida models and those visiting are welcome to ask to be part of my fantasy scene machine. Pay is based on experience. No second chance for flakes. Release required for payment. I will also give you 10% of any commercial sale. I like easy-going people and escorts are welcome as long as they are A.) Not photographers and B.) Don't upset the vibe. Shoot music is to be along the lines of Zero 7, Morcheeba and sometimes Sneaker Pimps. Generally it’s sun and fun but I shoot the moon and stars too. For me it has to be more than just being there with a camera set on "Auto". When you look at my Photoshop compositions you will see how I blend the elements into a fantasy scene. And now some blah-blah-blah from my official artist bio from my shows and gallery: · Started at 11 with a Polaroid · Black & White Film developing at 14 · Color developing at 16 (this is all with chemicals, made my mom so mad) · Full color darkroom at 22, worked for Ilford · Was a photographic intern at CSI Miami (called something different then) · Judge or jurist for numerous photo competitions including National Park Service · Accepted to 2018 National Juried Show · 57 Collectively voted awards and hundreds of peer awards Artist statement: "My set of brushes and palette consists of knowing f-stops in relation to depth of field, at what speed a shutter will prevent or provide a blur, when a child will smile or when a bird will fly. Careful composition is king and my vision for it is passionate. The camera doesn't lie...but it will tell you stories." Verified Credits (2)Worked with Donald Frame?
