Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do. Because then they will act.
Jack Welch

Welcome to my photo world. Let’s keep it simple….

I shoot as often as I can because:

                I love to find creativity and beauty in everyone and everything.

                It’s my best form of artistic expression ‘cause I can’t draw worth crap.

                I like to use photos to make people happy, including me.

                I want to get better with every shot I take.

Who gets paid?

For commercial /advertising shoots for clients who pay, including spec shoots for websites that can bring some profit – Both of us

                If I contacted you about TF and you respond – Neither of us, as its TF*

If you contacted me because you like the quality of my work, and you trust me to add value to your port – Probably me, unless I’ve got a specific purpose/project that you can be a valuable part of. Then it’s TF*

My standard rates can be found on my home website of [b]dougshotz.smugmug.com[/b]  in the menu bar on the homepage. They are negotiable, to some degree.

Ask.

I work with a wide range of subjects from super creative to super sexy. I pride myself in making it of the highest quality, the most enjoyable to experience, the most satisfying for both of us, and somehow better each time.

By design, I’m not bossy and directive. I’ve got ideas, for sure, but a great shoot is full of teamwork. Feel free to suggest concepts to me at any time. I welcome them.

Ask about any of the clients listed in my credits. Suggest more. I’m in this to help you and to enjoy myself. And if I do that well, I stay easygoing and open-minded, the dollars will flow one way or another. I’m not sweatin’ it.

Let’s shoot.

I'm also on MM at #214658 and  #295659 and OMP at #694778, and my main website at www.dougshotz.smugmug.com
