===========================================

ABOUT:
Hey Everyone! I've been a professional photographer since 2006, specializing in Depth of Field, Urban Landscapes, Concerts/Events, and Fine Art photography.

My photos are not taken in your typical studio nor do I add any artificial light or reflectors to the subject. All shots are taken outside (with some indoor abandoned locations), utilizing raw, natural light whether during the day or under the moonlit night sky. Although all of my photos go through minor post editing, capturing the subject with natural light is what I master. -- Not many photographers can do this without the use of reflectors or artifical lighting.

WORKING WITH - TFP ONLY:
At this time, I'm specifically looking for TFP female-identifying models who are new to the industry, want a chance to shine, to prove to the world who they are, and show what they can bring to the table. If this describes you and you want an opportunity to work with an amazing photographer in the area, then contact me today. I'd be more than happy to help you succeed and boost your new port (or update it) together.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

FOR HIRE - PAID ONLY:
I am always available to work with all female-identifying models and their projects (in addition to the other non-model projects I'm working with). My rates are very reasonable, and I include post-processing edits in all my photo services. I can also travel within California & Nevada as needed (travel rates added to all services if outside the San Jose area).

Please Note: I am only interested in working with TFP models, or For-Hire photography services and events at this time. -- I am not looking for paid models, touchup artists, or MUA's. -- Thank you for your understanding.

CURRENT PROJECT
"Urban Decay: Hidden Beauty Within"
Time Frame: January, 2015 - Present
Compensation: TFP

I'm basically taking the abandoned locations I've already captured in my past projects and adding a model to them to create a new perspective for these old and forgotten forays. While the model is in the location, they are not the focus of the photo (ie: in the foreground). The focus is rather on the location itself with the model in the background as a compliment.

Think of it as if you're watching an episode of The Walking Dead or Revolution. Most buildings and outdoor locations already have a unique character about them, but they hold no real life. Sure there are plants, trees, vines, and small animals living among them, but no real beauty that a human can bring. This is where the fun and creativity begins.

> Project Specifics:
- full nudity / partial nudity
- ages 18-59 (if older than 59, must be able to present as a younger age)
- any ethnicity
- female-identifying
- tattoos shall be small to minimal; no large designs or body coverings
- small piercings ok
- no body modifications
- no implants of any type
- no makeup
- all skin tones accepted
- open to all experience levels
- trade for print (TFP) only
- no erotic or pornographic displays

Please see my port for samples from this project (ongoing).

CURRENT PROJECT
"Urban Decay: An Intimate Framed Perspective"
Time Frame: June 2016 - Present
Compensation: TFP

This is a new look at capturing life, people, and landscapes, but with the body as the photograph's frame. It could be arms, legs, torso, etc, with a DoF perspective of what's in the background. Most of the shots I've taken so far have turned out really great and the working concept is begining to shape.

> Project Specifics:
- full nudity / partial nudity / clothed
- ages 18-99+
- any ethnicity
- female-identifying
- tattoos ok
- piercings ok
- no lower body modifications
- no makeup
- all skin tones accepted
- must be able to sit, stand, and keep arms/legs bent for long periods of time
- open to all experience levels
- trade for print (TFP) only
- no erotic or pornographic displays

Please see my port for samples from this project (ongoing).

===========================================

LEGALITIES:
- Respect and safety are placed at the top of my list regardless of the location and/or project. This applies to both the model as well as the photographer.
- All models must sign a model release and photo release form for all paid and TFP projects. If you would like to request a sample of the forms ahead of the project, just ask and I will simply provide a sample copy for review.
- Model may bring a friend/escort to all photoshoots as an option, but I ask that they wait quitely behind the photographer during the shoot (not to make shooting suggestions to the photographer, and not be a distraction or hinderance to the photographer) until the photoshoot is complete.
