Friends (66)About Me
I am a photographer and cinematographer in Austin, TX. specialty: women. Themes are often: beauty, glamour, fitness, casual pinup lingerie, bikini and nudes., as a model coach I help even first-time models look like they are pro models. My goal is to make you look great nude or clothed, and a funny girls a pretty girls. I can help you become a model by showing you on the screens as we shoot and help show you how pretty you can be. Girls tell me all the time I am super easy and patient to work with and it's a real confidence-booster and girls love how great I make them feel and look for nude photos and video. It's all about having fun and the rest is easy. I like your input when you feel so at ease and in the moment that you try to suggest your own poses. I can teach you some classic poses and concepts you can use your entire life to look pretty when someone takes your photo. But I also like natural movement and if you bust out laughing with me then we're doing it righ and i'm a goofball. I am also very good listener and will work along with you giving you feedback and you can see the good shots and the not our best work ..as we shoot so you can see how we're doing and how you look. When it's just me and a model, I love talking and collaborating on planning a shoot. -Do anything you want and we will have fun doing it. Always, always, be free to be a little bit silly and good things will happen. [/i] ..gary[/b]
You know, you do have the option to be fully nude and as bold as you want ..only if you want. I encourage nude models to show up with blemish-free skin, bare shaved privates or waxed, if that's what you do. The smooth look is superior for art nudes, shaved legs and privates, ...and don't forget those pesky nose hairs!. My goal is to have you looking absolutely the best and prettiest you have ever looked in your life. ..and that goes even more if you're doing first time nudes. I encourage ladies to add BTS behind the scenes video, i would like that for my website and you can use our photos and video for your own use. I often pick my favorites and edit them, but i want you to see our work as we go that is not the best ...and then we improve that pose and there's always a point in a shoot where we are in the zone and we get "the shot" and the footage. ..and we will both know when we got it ..but i do like lots of variety and angles in the poses so you get an absolute bunch of dang-pretty photos and video of yourself. i like to have women take 20 second videos of a superior shot and make that into a short clip you can share and to show who you can become. It's often showing who you are and how I see your beauty, but it's also about bein's silly and trying to play a part like an actress. I help throw you some ideas as we shoot to get you focused on attitude and looks. I can bring out your natural personality because our shoots will be relaxed and it's all about being silly and making this a fun experience where you feel proud of your attractive good looks. Fun! Fun! Fun. ..silly! Very selective nude trade work. Beauty nudes, art nudes and first time nude amateurs are always welcome, cause sometimes for me it's just about having fun and the pressure is off to do it for the fun of it and try new things. Photographer and designer based in Austin, Texas. Prefer working with Female Models for portfolio development and commercial clients. I also do runway, fashion shows, club and event photography in and around Austin. Enjoy location shoots but it's also fun to be indoors with artificial lighting. I like both equally and could not love one more that the other. I use available light, create my own, and also mix both. Sometimes, I have to work within the situation and other times I have the luxury to craft the light entirely myself. Whatever the situation is, I'll roll with it. I am a problem-solver and this goes from creating art direction to final delivery. ...I'll go to any lengths to get there, which reminds me of the time I had 22 girls in lingerie and one of them bumped into a strobe and cracked the mount ..and I stood there with one shoe on and one shoe off, cause I used a shoelace to strap the light to it's stand. Then I shot barefoot for the rest of the day. I may be doing your makeup, or your hair or I might sew some lingerie or do some bikini repairs ..whatever it is, I will work my ass off to get you the shot. In all my career there has only been one instance when I didn't make a shoot. It was a nude shoot with a girl I completely adore and respect for her beauty and sincerity. Just before our shoot I was in paralyzing pain -only now do I realize how potentially fatal my situation, but I mustered up enough to tell her I was in recovery from surgery. And her response was so compassionate. Thank you, whole heartedly, Cassandra. It's women like that who make my world go round! ..It's in my nature to be a spring of creativity and a pillar of reliability. Models: I often have models bring in lots of clothing and accessories. I used to be an advertising art director for a local female clothing company with 10 locations around austin and was also the merchandising director. I learned a lot from those women and so putting together wardrobe and choosing color is another dimension i like to add to my photos. I often like to coach with poses and expressions. I feel like I'm pretty good at explaining the visions i have in my mind. We may plan out looks and styles but I'm often prone to spontaneous thoughts and visions as i work. I'm ready for some fun. -It's really quite rare that I do any TFP. Not against it though. I mostly work for clients, models, commissioned privates, or commercial. But if you want to share profits and have some fun doin' nudes, I am available for it if is beauty nudes, quality art nudes, or even if it's sumpthin' funny or silly, those are things I always love to do. My job as a photographer is to give you whatever you want, or give the client what they want from us both, -whatever they're payin' for. A good percentage of my work is for model development, some is commercial and some is for private collection that I'm hired to produce. I love working with women, professional models or just everyday attractive girls that want better photos. There's just something greatly rewarding about making a girl feel comfortable and confident. At times we're serious and other times it's all about capturing the fun of the moment. Girls seem to love me for my wit, creativity and style and I have to admit even if a lady is married with children, or single, or ...I could go on with this topic for a long time but the point I want to make is, I get along with women really well and this is one of the joys of what I do. It's a great thing to be able to see them relax and laugh with my ideas as I make them feel comfortable being alluring, sexy, innocent, smart, sultry, mischievious, or heck -even pretty darn silly at times. *click* pin-up lingerie swimwear high fashion casual fashion glamour & beauty silly nudes -It's a personal quest I need to satisfy with the right girl. glamour nudes About nudes, I will do nudes with certain girls but it's going to about conveying elegance and beauty. I'll entertain themes that are a sensual or little cute and naughty, funny and nude is great to show who you are as a girl and model... And if you just so happen to be a freespirited artistic girl who wants to try some nudes in front of my camera, it's all about having a good time and producing great images through developing a few concepts. I'm selective on nudes and who I photograph nude and the themes we'll do. Simple, natural and fun nudes are pretty. For nudes, prefer no tattoos, clear skin, her own boobs, any size is great, age 18-24. I'll do others, but these are my stated preferences. I prefer working with women. If some dude or a commercial client comes to me and wants to pay me enough so I can buy the $1800 lens I want, then sure. But, otherwise, my preference is photographing women. -Smart, funny, fun, attractive females ...is there anything else better in the world? -Guys, you know what i'm talking about. I love women with attitude ...and that doesn't just mean strong personalities. Rather, I enjoy being around a girl who knows who she is and is comfortable with herself -whatever her personality is. That's what I want to capture. I usually block no more than 4 or 5 weeks ahead, unless travel is involved. And on larger projects; months in advance, I will plan. If you want to shoot with me later, schedule me now. Available for travel. I love models who: -show up on time. -believe that safe same ol' photos are dull photos. -really listen and try. -are not afraid to take risks and try new things. -bring me lingerie cause they don't want them in other photos. -tip me with gift cards to the dry cleaners. -call just to say hi or to have me join them for fun downtown. -stop me in the middle of a shoot and ask" "Can I get naked, yet?" -refer a friend. Release required. Two forms of I.D. on all nude shoots, so I know you are 18. Verified Credits (0)Worked with Gary Brackin Photoworks? Share your experience and become verified!
