Friends (8699)About Me
Although you may see artistic nudes on my portfolio from time to time (well, okay, most of the time
![]() TFP: I am NOT a part time hobbyist. I am NOT building my portfolio. This is my day job and I do make my living with my cameras, and yes, I DO get paid for my work. If all of my work was free, then there would be no studio, lights, editing or printing equipment... well.. no SouthBound. I pay models for images ONLY when I'm being paid by my clients to shoot you. Be realistic. Look at my work and if you think your look and my skills would add to the diversity and quality of BOTH of our books, please contact me. Otherwise, my rates are more reasonable than you might think ![]() I am not a celebrity nor do I want to be. My work isn't about me. It's about you and what we create through our collaboration. It's all about the work and the result. Models, I can promise you, The Owner of The Truth about this industry is not on this site. Beware of those who pretend to be. Art is subjective. So why are there so many experts? Do you really need someone to tell you what is beautiful? Is the 80 year old Native American man, bent and wrinkled with age as beautiful as the perfectly formed nude female? No, if all you see is the physical. But look closer. See the character, the honor, the integrity, the wisdom. See the humor in his eyes because he knows things you don't. See the pain he conquered. Now capture all THAT with your camera and tell me which image brings a tear to your eye. If it touches you, it is art. SOUTHBOUND Take care... Don NOTICE TO RETOUCHERS: I do ALL my own retouch and editing. I also do retouch for other photographers as part of my overall business. Please do not solicit me for this type of work. Tagging my page with these types of self-serving solicitations are not welcome and will be deleted. Verified Credits (20)Worked with SouthBound? Share your experience and become verified!
