About Me
If you really interested in working with me. The best way is to send a personal massage and let me know directly. Remarking so in pic comments or TAGs will be often overlooked.
Also if you want to work with me you will have to come here. To explain it simply. My work utilizes considerable number of lights (up to 8), plus stands, grips and modifiers. The cost to travel with this is too much involving the purchase of flight cases. Me trying to lug all this around by myself is laughable.
Attention talented wardrobe/clothing designers and stylist. I love to try and make my photography unique. Having unique wardrobe is certainly a benefit. If any designers and stylist would like to contribute to upcoming shoots in exchange for use of the final image(s) please feel free to contact me in regards to collaborating.

I'm a photographer based out of Salisbury NC. Salisbury is 30 miles outside of Charlotte, NC. My primary focus on Model Mayhem is to network with models, MUAâs, designers and stylists.
Paid work and TFP:
My primary focus is on paid work which will takes priority over any type of TFP considerations. While this implies that I am open to TFP, it is very selective whom Iâll work with in these regards. I'm only going to consider models that I strongly believe will help my portfolio or increase my exposure. Having experience, a well put together portfolio, a specific look that fits into a idea I have, publishing credits....are all things I look for when proposed with a TFP collaboration.
Rates:
Rates are based on estimated time and complexity of the shoot. Time is calculated for both shooting and post work. Obviously the more complex the shoot the more time it will take to complete. Being descriptive regarding the look your going for will help me in figuring a price. If your idea will involve considerable time in photoshop or set building, prop gathering and location scouting etc. It will cost ya.
Booking:
To book a shoot and secure the date requires a non-refundable deposit of $50. This will go toward your shoot cost. This fee generally has ensured that the model shows up. You can reschedule your date upto the week prior to the initial date should something come up. Point is to limit the flaking of models who do not give prompt notice or notice at all and potentially cost potential paid work.
Travel:
I use considerable amounts of lighting, grip and studio gear for my shoots. This limits my ability to travel via plane for a shoot. Though I really never expect this situation to happen. If you want me to come to you to shoot then expenses regarding travel, lodging and equipment rental would be required. For shoots that are in driving distance then gas and lodging expenses are expected to be covered unless it is a short drive then just gas will be factored into the rate.
Retouching:
Generally I only retouch my own images. However I have been getting more and more messages asking if I offer retouch services. My rate for retouch is $50 per hour. Models will need permission from the photographers. I would prefer the RAW file as opposed to a jpg. I do pre post work tweaks in Lightroom and RAW provides more latitude for color and exposure adjustments than a jpg file. Also the quality of the retouch is only as good as the quality of the image to start with.
Prompt Communication:
Initial communication to arrange a shoot by messaging is fine. After that though I will exchange my number to discuss details. Itâs faster, immediate and allows for more detailed feedback. The quality of the shoot depends on being prepared. I stay busy and donât always have available time to articulate detailed messages that take an hour to type when I could say it all and more in 10 minutes. Itâs just more efficient. Also when models tend to fall off from being prompt about communication it raises the âflakeâ red flag and may give reasonable cause to cancel the shoot.
Turn around on images:
Typically you want the one best shot from any shoot for your portfolio. I will retouch the clients choice of best shot as well as what I feel is the best shot. Both images will be given to the client. The sooner the client makes their choice the edit will be done and returned within a day on most accounts. Additional edits request are subject to retouch costs or if the shoot just kicked so much ass I will probably edit more for the hell of it. If it is TFP then I edit the few shots I feel are the strongest. You most likely will see my retouch later the day of the shoot if not the next day. I enjoy the retouch process so Iâm pretty eager to get started once a shoot is complete. Ask the models Iâve worked with. They will let you know how soon images were returned.
Thing you should know.
I do all my own retouching. I do not accept requests from other retouchers, wizards or digital artists. I also don't allow permission to anyone to retouch my work.
I do not participate in shootouts.
I do not offer tutorials, how-to videos or any sort of instructions regarding what and how I do my thing. I suggest patience and practice to those who ask.
For those who track me down on my facebook. If I donât know you personally I wonât add you. Iâm a pretty private person.
I get a lot of email/PMâs. I canât respond to everyone. Follow up catty emails due to my not responding will probably get you blocked. I hate drama.
Iâm more interested in finding collaborators than I am comment whoring.
FAQ:

14-35mm 2.8
28-70mm 2.8 (My primary shooting lens)
