About Me

*** UPDATE: March 2025 ***

  - I am now booking several months in advance. I have no idea WHY I'm this busy, but I am.
  - I have a set budget with which to pay the models I hire. For reasons I won't get into, I cannot exceed my cap, which is $125/hour.
  - I am currently only interested in working with models who share my artistic vision. Specifically, I'm looking for people who are completely comfortable in their own skin, and willing to be photographed as such.
  - Not to bring politics into this, but I'm a HUGE lefty. I'm a pan, poly, pagan, tree hugging dirt worshiper, and I am NOT shy about it. If you are aligned with the current U.S. President, then we probably will not get along. Just being transparent here.

*********************************

Greetings and Salutations!

  I am a hobbyist photographer based out of Annapolis, MD, who enjoys shooting in a wide variety of styles. Primarily though, I work in the art-nude creative space (with emphasis on the art!). I began working with nude models several years ago, while I was in the thrall of a major depression. A full career in the military had exposed me to a lot of ugly in the world and I eventually felt the need to try to correct the balance by creating something beautiful. While the success or failure of my efforts are best left in the eye of the beholder, the attempt alone has done wonders for my mental health, and remains my primary motivation in this field.   

  Working with me can be a bit chaotic. I don’t shoot for profit, and rarely have more than half a concept in mind when our time begins. Additionally, I’m ever so slightly neuro-spicy, so I may wander off on tangents as we speak. Regardless, you will always be treated with respect, and I believe most people I work with come away having enjoyed the experience!

  As an ex-military guy, I welcome any and all commonsense safety precautions. I encourage you to reach out to anyone I’ve ever worked with for references; I have faith my past actions will speak for themselves. I don’t mind if you want to bring an escort, I don’t get offended if you want a deposit in advance, and you are certainly welcome to call/check in with anyone you’d like in the middle of our session.

  I offer two forms of recompense to the models I work with. First, I recognize the difference between my hobby and your career, and completely understand that money is the first and best form of compensation. That being said, I work on a budget and can only afford up to a certain rate, and even then no more than once or twice per month. These paid slots generally get filled up pretty far in advance, so please let me know if you will be headed my way! Additionally, my family has a guest room in which we offer accommodations to traveling models in exchange for shooting time. The room is safe, secure, and private. Also in the home are my wife, my two children, and my two cats, so rest assured that there will be no attempt at inappropriate behaviors! (A list of models who have previously stayed with us is available upon request for references.)

  I'm readily available for inquiries of any sort. Hit me up! I look forward to creating something beautiful with you!
