About Me

I aim to photograph beautiful, artistic, and powerful images and to create or enhance exceptional model portfolios. My photography focuses on fine art and editorial/boudoir/fashion. I photograph to pursue my art — not as my profession. Thus, I work with models on trade shoots.  In exchange for her time, the model receives hundreds of full-resolution images that are suitable for printing or for use in online portfolios.

I consider my shoots to be a collaboration between the model and photographer; the outcome of the shoot should be images that contribute to both of our portfolios. I am constantly exploring new ideas, and I enjoy working with models who bring their own ideas to the shoot. While some of the models that I work with have prior experience, many have little or no experience — I am happy to shoot with inexperienced models who are serious and enthusiastic about their work.

Located in lower Manhattan, I work with models in New York city and surrounding areas. If you would like to work with me on a trade shoot, please send me a message so we can set something up. My typical shoot lasts for 1-2 hours, which provides time to use several outfits, different locations, and to take hundreds of photographs.  I deliver photos electronically within a week of the shoot.

I look forward to working with you,
James
