Primarily looking for paid assignments at this time.
"Politeness wins the confidence of princes"
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
Women:
I seek to portray women as elegant and delicate; as sex symbols; as timeless and perfect beauties akin to Greek Goddesses. The kind of girl who can give you one look and leave you lovesick and dreaming about her for weeks.
Men:
I seek to portray men as strong and rugged and mischievous and daring. The kind of guy who is not afraid to unexpectedly grab a woman by the shoulders, and just kiss her passionately; political correctness be damned! And if you slap his face in outrage, he will show you his mischievous bright smile which will win you over, and remind you of the fire in his kiss once again.
About me:
I have never shown up to a shoot and given anything less then 100 percent of myself. Yes, as a ‘mere mortal’ I have been sick, depressed, upset or otherwise not feeling perfect at various times in my life, but I have never allowed my personal problems to prevent me from giving a project every ounce of myself that I have to give. I do not believe in giving excuses; you will never hear one from me. Instead I believe in delivering results. I am the hardest working photographer out there! I am willing to work weekends, holidays, on my birthday, on Thanksgiving, on Christmas, on New Year's, 365 days a year....……all day or all night or both!
However, in this life hard work alone will not guarantee success. Yes it will put you on the path to success, but will not guarantee it. You can not wait your turn in line to be successful, it is not something everyone will achieve just by working hard and being 'a good person'. Success comes at the price of a risk. Those whom achieve success were not afraid to take a risk somewhere along the line; and by definition were also not afraid to fail. I am not afraid of taking a chance and trying a new idea even if it does not work out. Failure is an illusion of the mind to protect itself from the venomous sting of disappointment. True failure only comes when you stop trying and 'settle'.
Business:
I am not trying to sell anyone photos, and I am not trying to sell my services as a photographer.
The only commodities I posses which are of any value, are my ideas, my vision, and my concepts.
Testing with me:
MUAs:
I welcome requests from MUAs for testing. Please contact me to be added to my list of MUAs interested in testing with me.
Models:
Occasionally I offer test shoots to models. Normally I will contact you or put up a casting call if I am interested in testing.
Attitude:
I want to work with the type of person who will tell me, “I think we can do better, let’s try again, and again, and again until it’s perfect.” To me a person with those qualities is what I call a ‘winner’, and eventually that quality will make them successful at whatever they do in life. I want to be around winners! I do not believe people reach the top because of dumb luck; that is a cop out. If you are willing to walk a mile in the rain for me, I will walk 2 for you in return. |
