Welcome to my Profile. My name is Spencer I am a Photographer located in Chicago and I shoot Fashion Editorial, Runway, Beauty, Lifestyle and Swimwear.

    My photography style ranges from clean white and/or Black Background to more cinematic styling and/or location styling.

    *Only looking to work with professional, personable and Considerate models
      that have great skin, teeth and hygiene.

    *If you come for a test please bring pressed hung garments in a garment
      bag not a paper bag.

    *Great attitudes, diversity of facial expression and knowledge of fashion
      and fashion publications is appreciated.

    *In case of cancellation have the consideration to call as early as possible
      unless circumstance only allow you to text, but then call afterwards.

    *Show up promptly.

    *Agency models test and if you aren't willing to test then we won't be
      working together.



    *If you won't sign a release then we won't be working together because without
      a release a photographer, MUA, Hairstylist or other legally has no authority to
      use or display your image and you the model possibly have no authority to
      use the photo. My release is a standard release and it grants full rights to
      both the model and myself. You are welcome to see and read at the
      time we actually meet.

    *Emails are a convenient way to communicate, but not a reason to not have an
      actual conversation. So please provide a current working telephone number
      so we can discuss meeting details or other info and I will do the same. 
 


    *Important-Bringing an escort to meet with a photographer isn't a right its
      an insecurity that puts the photographer and others involved at risk. So
      NO ESCORTS - NO ESCORTS - NO ESCORTS, but feel free to check the
      expression on the faces of models on this and other ports you will notice
      they're all smiling and having a ball.

      *Finally if show up for a test shot looking like an unkept mangy puppy that just   
      rolled out of bed I will say "Ah ha" and immediately notify Homeland Security
      that you are a terrorist. ...
     
    Life is short lets create some great images.

    GOD Bless...
