I am a photo hobbyist. I'm here to work with some newcomers to modeling, hoping that together we can help build each other's portfolio. I currently use and enjoy SIGMA and FujiFilm cameras. I prefer the use of softboxes, indoors or out. I am interested in some studio work with models, but I also want to focus on natural light settings. I really enjoy outdoor work composed with a "raw urban" look to it. I am interested in models with a variety of looks/styles, so the girl next door is always a great subject, but I'd also really like to find someone who can provide a goth image as well. I am willing to pay a little in addition to providing files to someone who has some experience and doesn't mind working with someone who's a bit green when it comes to model shoots. I've browsed the profiles of some models here in their 30s who mentioned that they aspired to do modeling when they were younger, but the way life rolls they're just now getting the opportunities and putting themselves out there. Well, I suppose the same goes for me, only I'm on the other side of the lens. I had actually started college as a photojournalism major, but ended up going a different route. So, I, as well, am in the process of getting back out there. I have no dreams of doing big fashion shoots or even turning a real profit from photographing people--I just love the art of photography and am wired to need some form of creative outlet. (Maybe I should have picked a less expensive one...lol.) I live north of Nashville, and I have family in Louisville and near Lexington, so I will travel to any of those three cities or nearby areas to do a shoot. If you are a new model and looking for some photos to put in your portfolio, then contact me if you live in or near the three cities I mentioned.
