Getting experience working with models, most of my work has been outdoor, nature and sporting events. Looking to expand my portfolio. Have worked with several models but looking to try different styles.

While photography has always been a hobby for me, it is something I do take seriously. My first experience with photography was in high school. I was a freshman and took a photography class. There was two problems with the class. First off the teacher had been the wood shop teacher, and to explain why he now taught photography, he was missing several fingers. The other problem was a friend, who was a senior was in the class. That wouldn't have been a problem but he is a first class practical joker, so I didn't learn a whole lot, but was endlessly amused.

I bought a SLR when I was on active duty in the Air Force. I seem to have a bad habit of taking photos of stuff I shouldn't and had more than a few rolls of film confiscated.

Finally I got my first DSLR and fell in love with photography. Shot a few weddings, a NASCAR race, was a defacto photographer for my USAF Reserve unit.

So my experience is all over the spectrum. I am not very structured in how I work. Basically I like to see what happens. I have tried to structure shots I wanted and it doesn't seem to work out. Most of the best shots I have taken were spur of the moment and surprising.

Feel free to leave critiques of photos. It is the best way to learn and to improve.
