Biography

PLEASE NOTE: Feel free to send me a note or tag me, but I will only befriend the people whom I have worked or wish to work with. Drive-by friend requests will be denied without a second thought.

I enjoy working with experienced models; they already know how to pose and mug for the camera, know how to work with the light I place them in, and we tend to hit the ground running. Just as rewarding, however, can be working with novice and inexperienced models. When the chemistry comes together, when we hit our stride, it's a great feeling and it shows in the results. I love that tickle of excitement when a model and I are both wowed by what we've accomplished together.

I've got no issues with models bringing an escort to our shoot if it helps them to relax and open up. Often the presence of another person at the shoot can make the process more relaxed for everyone – though I'm aware that this can just as easily turn into a distraction and slow our progress. I don't mind taking that risk if it ensures the comfort of my model.

TRADES:
If the shoot you have in mind is mutually beneficial, I'm open to discussing a trade of our talents. While nothing beats the control of using a studio, we should consider free locations before renting one; locations seem to add depth and richness to any work. My full kit is portable, and I'm skilled with using available light, taking the most from any setting.

RATES BY HIRE:
Typical shoots start at $500, requiring $100 in an advance deposit via PayPal to hold the date. Cancellations inside of 24 hours’ notice will forfeit the deposit. Shoots that last longer than six hours will cost an additional $100/hour.
You’ll receive all the JPGs of our shoot in 72 dpi @ 600 X 900 pixels via Dropbox inside of 24 hours of our shoot. You may also have the RAWs upon request. I will include five finalized images of your choosing, in 300 dpi @ 3000 X 2000 pixels or larger. Additional retouched images will be $30 apiece.

Studio or location rental, hair/makeup, and wardrobe needs are at the discretion of the client. I have many suggestions for these services and am happy to help put together the best package for your needs.
