Call me Ishmael. The voyage of my work ranges from landscapes, to portraits, to fine art nudes. But whether shooting indoors or out, my goal is to reveal the subject’s inner spirit or essence with sensitivity, truth and integrity.
I work collaboratively with models of all experience levels to enable you, the model, to expand or deepen your portfolio and me, the photographer, to source ideas for further creative development.
Though I may copyright a photograph, I'm amenable to perpetual royalty-free use by you for any purpose. And I promise to never sell a photograph in which your face, unique tattoo or other personally distinguishing feature is visible, though any may appear, royalty-free, in print or online; and in that case, I will not personally identify you, unless that is your requires.
I’m looking for models agreeing to collaborate on a time-for-electronic image (TFeI) basis; i.e., in exchange for your time, effort and artistic contribution, I will furnish images, vice compensation, either by email or another electronic medium.
Furthermore, as independent contractors, you and I will each be responsible for our personal expenses, including transportation.
I may ask you to change clothing during a photo session, but I will never ask you to pose nude, or revealingly, unless that is our prior agreement.
Finally, as you and I begin as strangers, I will encourage you to bring a trusted friend, escort or service animal whose non-interfering presence contributes to your personal sense of security and relaxation.
