About Me
What part of 'yes' don't you understand?
Goals: to make my mom's jaw drop while she peruses my portfolio, instead of making her hands twitch through the richly-toned prints as she nervously sprints to the end. To make work that is considered 'must-have'. To keep making my own jaw drop. Style: positive, personal, casual while still professional, tough, grainy, and a little unconventional (just ask about the time we jumped that fence with tripods and makeup kits and models and...) Ideas: there are a few. fashion, figure, portrait, and anything that makes me nervous to start. i want to shoot white shirts, ruined suits, oiled faces, and polaroids. I can be reached through e-mail, and would like to keep work local to the Toronto area. I look forward to any and all of the process, from comments and critiques to paid gigs. Thanks. _________________________________________________ quote from my first and favorite model on 'why do you shoot with me?' So lets start with why I do it. I would pay you to do it. I don't know if it makes the world a better place but it forces every woman who you shoot into your lense into a place of total honesty. There's no sexy way to pose naked (contrary to popular belief). I think every one looks a little weird naked and if you want to reveal the weaknesses in people you'll catch them right away when you put them in a sterile room with no clothes on. The thing is, it is the weakness you catch and not the strength. That's what is so beautiful in your pictures. The total lack of defenses. The image of a woman with her walls down. Having the strength to stand there and say this is my body, this is that weird bit, this is where I fell when I was five, these are what I'll feed my babies with, and this is used for sex is the most powerful thing I've done in my life. It has made me more complete. THe knowledge that I can stand in front of someone with my weaknesses waving like flags has made me feel more powerful than ever. The other thing is you. You are through the other side of that lense. Your eyes are snapping the pictures with every wink and shift. Your pictures show a person pouring through the lens to the other side. Your pictures show connection. I don't know if any of these things will solve the worlds problems but there is a thing in women that you understand and that is how to break them down. If you shoot fashion, or you shoot children, you will always have that power to draw a soul across the page. When you do it with a naked woman it becomes almost painfully moving because it is so unflinchingly gentle and real. I don't know. I do it because I want to. As selfish as it is. I never did it for a naked picture of myself or to lure you in. I did it because I felt beautiful without any crutches and the feeling was addictive. I did it because I knew you would catch that in your art. I trusted you to and you always did. Verified Credits (0)Worked with Nicholas Flip? Share your experience and become verified! Add Credits
