============================================================
* FASHION * GLAMOUR * ART * Used to shoot a lot of high fashion/runway (don't anymore). Now I'm primarily working on a number of personal projects, adding to my photo library and occasionally handling commercial assignments for select smaller fashion brands.. Some of the projects that I'm particularly interested in working on at this point include: * a series of Underwater shoots, so I'm looking for models with access to private heated pools, * a Body-as-a-Canvas series, so I'm looking for models who have a location available to be body painted and want to give it a try, * a California Casual beach oriented fashion series, and * an Urban Vision series, so I'm looking for models with access to a loft, rooftop or other high-rise settings with dynamic urban views, or models who might want to try shooting in the LA Art District I'm primarily looking for female models in ages ranging from late teens to mid 20's. Models should be on the slender side with weight proportional to height (ex: 5'2" +/- 103#, or 5'8" +/- 119#). Experience isn't all that important, (I've taught modeling and photography, so I'm pretty good at coming up with the shots I need, even from inexperience models) but a positive, collaborative, attitude and dependability are. I'm generally pretty good at coming up with the models that I need on a Trade basis, but I frequently do paid shoots. particularly with models who have appropriate locations available. IF WE'RE GOING TO SHOOT: I want shoots to go easy and have fun doing them. No drama, no divas. (Read some of the comments that models have left me to get an idea of how my shoots go.) * I always have a preshoot meeting before deciding whether to shoot or not. Meetings are held either at the location of the shoot, if it's a specialty session such as an underwater shoot, or at a local Starbucks/McDs. * If you want, bring a girl friend to the shoot (but no boy friends or significant others, they're often too impatient and sometimes too controlling.) * I don't schedule models that have another shoot scheduled the same day, either before or after (has never worked out well). * I understand that a regular job has to take priority, so I try not to schedule shoots with models that have flexible work schedules (they cancel frequently and repeatedly). BACKGROUND: Older... Semi-retired. My background is primarily editorial, contributing to national consumer magazines, trade publications and daily newspapers. I've also done a considerable amount of work for corporate publications. I was a frequent contributor to major photo magazines, inflight magazines and travel publications. so I was frequently able to fly free, I've traveled extensively to almost all the states in the U.S. as well as over 40 countries..
