The artist and teacher in me particularly enjoys working with newer, less experienced models.  What I enjoy in working with new models is their fresh and unbiased approach to posing.  I love big smiles, facial expressions and body language that convey a myriad of emotions.  If you can't have fun shooting with me, frankly, I'd rather you work with someone else.  It is important to note that "newer and less experienced" does not necessarily mean younger.  I have a great deal of respect, admiration and appreciation for those models who have chosen to start their careers a little later in life than would be considered the norm.  I am a non-conformist who is currently looking to add this sophisticated maturity along with perhaps a more non-traditional look to his port.

Photo shoots will be attended by myself and an (female) assistant, and welcome you bringing an escort.  I want you to be comfortable.

TFCD POLICY!!!
I WILL ONLY PAY MODELS WHEN I HAVE A CLIENT PAYING ME.  Likewise, I don't charge models to help them with their portfolio, as long as my port, too, can derive a benefit.

TFCD shoots will get you a minimum of five (5) post-processed picture files that you pick out from ALL shots taken during your session.  Typically I'll provide more than five, I just prefer not to promise more.  All pictures from a shoot are posted to a password protected folder on my web site within 24 hours so that you can make your selections right away.  I do require that models sign a non-commercial, for promotional purposes only, model release before the shoot begins.

COMMON COURTESIES I EXPECT
If I contact you for a shoot please have the courtesy of responding.  I promise to grant you the same courtesy.  "No response" does not mean no or that you are extremely busy.  It means you are rude and growing up nobody taught you any better.  In addition, TFCD shoots must be confirmed three days before the appointment.  TFCD shoots are not free!!!  They have a cost payable in time, energy, opportunity and effort.  Having me hold an appointment open for an eventual "no show" costs somebody else the opportunity to be photographed and me the time allocated to the appointment as well as the planning time that goes into it.  THIS IS A BUSINESS APPOINTMENT, NOT A DATE.  Please respect that.
