My name is Rich Heath. I am the Owner & CEO of Whiplash Photography and The Whiplash Girls (WG Models). I specialize in photographing beautiful women and Musicians. However I will photograph just about anything you require. I have been an amateur photographer since 1979. (The First time I ever picked up a 35mm camera I used it to photograph Van Halen at a concert at Municipal Auditorium in Austin, TX. on July 16, 1979) I have been a professional photographer in the Dallas area for about 4 years now and have been fortunate enough to develop quite a following. I started off my professional career doing portfolio work for local models and event photography for
Howsaboutabeer.com. The exposure I obtained from those venues lead to work from several commercial clients shooting everything from DJs to local and national musicians and singers to custom cars, trucks and motorcycles.
I'm very easy to work with and great with children. I do my best to keep my clients happy and at ease during their shoots and all leave with big smiles on their faces. 1st timers need not worry, I'm very patient and a great modeling coach. I can even teach you how to work a runway like a pro. In fact...I myself, probably do it better than most supermodels. (Which is pretty funny considering I'm a 45 year old fat guy! LOL) I have worked with a lot of amateur models and have coached and turned many of them into working professional models.
If you live or work in the DFW area, odds are I have photographed someone you know or have at least heard of!
Some of the musicians and bands I have photographed over the years include: Eddie Money, Van Halen, The Guess Who, Loverboy, Pat Benatar, America, Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult, Tommy Lee, Bobzilla, Joe Satriani, Stuart Hamm, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Lynn Turner, Rudy Sarzo, Jo Dee Messina, Tracy Byrd, Shooter Jennings, Jerry Jeff Walker, Courtney Now, Overscene, The Screaming Lucys, Spearing Brittney and the 12th of Never, to name a few.
Portfolio work is generally performed @ $100.00 per hr. for both men and women. Commercial work, event photography, concerts, CD covers and band photos, family shoots, weddings, sporting events, drag races, and more are priced on a case by case basis.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
I am currently seeking models to do artistic nudes both black and white and Playboy style nudes. I am also seeking models for a nude body painting project. I am collaborating with a very talented local tattoo artist and body painter on this project and as such, it promises to be a very interesting project. I welcome any inquiries regarding the nude projects and the body painting project. All special projects are TFCD for the right model/models. Please contact me for detailed information on my special projects
I do not pay models for special projects. I have around 50 models on staff, most of which are more than happy to help with my special projects. I am seeking new faces for these projects, which may lead to future employment within my company/companies.
(ALL SPECIAL PROJECTS ARE TFCD)
The Whiplash Girls
The Whiplash Girls are actively recruiting models from around the world! That's right..we are going GLOBAL!!!(Look out Suicide & Patriot Girls) This is yet another way to promote yourself and you modeling and be a part of a soon to be world famous team. There are no start up costs and no travel expenses. Nudity is always optional. However, I have found that models who do post nudity get more work. (Sorry that's just a fact of life!) Qualifying is easy, you just need to be between 18 and 40 and be hottttt! Height is not an issue, however you must weigh less than 135 Lbs and be Height/Weight Proportionate. Multiple Tattoos are not a problem but we are not looking for the Suicide Girl Look. We are looking for The Hot Girl Next Door! If that's you....your in!! If you live in the DFW area, the Dallas (Home) office does occasionally do promo work in the DFW area. This is yet another way for you to make a little extra cash from time to time. We may start doing promo work in other areas as well as we grow.
