In determining whether or not I am a photographer with whom you would like to collaborate, it might be helpful to keep the following in mind:

First, I am committed to shooting the themes, poses and outfits that the model finds attractive and appealing. For some women their choices will occupy the more CONSERVATIVE end of the continuum. For others, their interests lie with photos and themes that are somewhat more PROVOCATIVE. I always shoot what the model presents and prefers.

Second, I don't take pictures. The camera does that. I collaborate. I work with each individual model to explore and optimize the beauty that is already there waiting to be captured and amplified. I do my best work with women who are willing to invest in some degree of collaboration.

As part of relocating my photography work to Florida, I'm expanding the sample portfolios my clients use to help select their poses and shape their portfolios. As a result, I welcome inquiries from models with all levels of experience and of all ages (21 and over) and races for collaboration on fashion, fine-art nudes, boudoir, fantasy / cos-play, implied nude, glamour, straight portraiture and/or maternity. I'm especially (but not only) interested in mature women. And, ink is always welcome.

While I am increasingly migrating my work toward fine art creations, I still offer the full range of female photography in my Summerfield, FL studio:

Fashion (In 2018 and 2019 I've shot three separate series of Emerging Fashion Designers - each with nearly a dozen models who expanded their portfolio [on a TFP basis] with a new designer line)
Boudoir / Glamour
Erotic
Fantasy / Cos-Play
 Maternity
Fine-Art Nude and Implied-Nude
 Portraiture

I've reached the point in my career where I'm able to invest the time (enjoy taking the time) to help you explore the visual and artistic possibilities of each session. As a result we normally achieve a highly personalized photo shoot and a portfolio that is distinctly you.

Especially for women with limited modeling experience, I work to create a comfortable environment in which you can explore the creative process and further discover your modeling "voice".

Your enthusiasm, sense of adventure and creative collaboration are more important than "perfect" beauty. I value and welcome model / photographer collaboration and find it almost always enhances the outcome.

Age, race and ethnicity are not factors. Mature females, including those in their 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's are welcome and valued as are women who are pregnant and/or inked.

I'm happy to discuss Time-for-Photos and modest compensation arrangements - mostly to offset travel expenses - Not only for relatively inexperienced models and those looking to expand / diversify their portfolio but also for the more experienced professionals who are looking for a collaborative opportunity to create fine art.

Again, as the adjacent portfolio of sample photos suggests, my work includes a wide range of "genres", themes and poses - FROM THE VERY "PROPER" TO THE SOMEWHAT MORE PROVOCATIVE. The decision as to where we shoot along that continuum is always and foremost the choice of the model / client / customer. You decide on the nature of your poses and photos - whether they be very proper or a bit more provocative. You are in control of that important aspect of our collaborative journey.
