bsp studios

As a shooter, I joined here because MM closed my page - apparently you can't argue with 20 something models who for the lack of a better word haven't a clue on so many things much less artistic knowledge. So they (MM) shut it down - and I wasn't able stay connected with other photographers, models, and artists that I know,- ... MM is full of kids that are working as part time models and quite honestly have very little to do with real photography but more of a dating scene, so I'm glad I am out of there.

~ I just don't have time for immature pecker heads!

Models I like working with should have an open mind, a passion and a need for collaborating on great photography, if you need or want a new facebook profile picture go and look elsewhere....I realize some new and young models are nervous about being in front of a camera..but with new models, I like to keep the session funny and upbeat.... With any models including experienced models, collaboration and spontaneity is the key!

I will only work with females models and they must be 18 and older!

My one exceptions we all should count one:...

Chaperon's - Please don't expect to be able to bring a chaperon to a photo-shoot, I expect professional models, you wouldn't take your boyfriend to your office job, this is no different. I have on a limited exception allowed some to sit in the next room but as noted that is a limited request.

Travel expenses - I do not cover travel expenses for models living or meeting me locally...., please do not ask.

Planning a shoot and taking the photos is just part of the process. I spend a great deal of time making sure my final decisions and images meet both my own, and your expectations I spend my time creating Fine Art, Artistic-Erotic, and classic Glamour/Pinup. . So please do not expect a disc of unedited photos on the day you shoot, as I deliver only fully finished images. We do that in a variety of ways, either a fully edited CD or my web sites where you get a password and can download them.

I worked as a professional photographer, for well over 20 years... and lastly the last ten years as a commercial photographer here in the USA... I'm am retiring from the military after 32 years as a military journalist since 1980's-

~I've traveled a lot... in 1995 until I moved back to the US from Europe after living and working there for 20 years.
In 1990-92 as a US Army Reservist, I've deployed for Desert Storm, since then I've been to Korea, Alaska, Pentagon and lastly to Iraq in 2003, and again in 2005;

In my other work-- New Media (video editing, marketing and media affairs), I still shoot and work with implied, artistic and erotic nude models!

I've shot 35mm /6x6 and large format film or otherwise known as analog photography. I studied in Southern California and later assisted After I got out of the Army in 1974 I moved back to Germany and worked from 1976-1982 for a well known Photo Agency south of Munich Germany, a well known German edition Playboy Magazine photographer by the name of, "Tassilo Trost.
In 1982, until graduation, I studied at the "Bavarian State Institute of Photography, Munich, Germany. (That school is now: Munich University of Applied Sciences) ;. And graduated 1985.

Contact at me if you think you want to shoot.

Ich bin eine fotografenmeister seit 1984. Ich habe damals studiert, und jahre long in Oberbayern gearbeitet bis ich von Deutschland wegzogen habe. Meine Meisterbrief hangt immernoch auf meine wand und ich bin stoltz das ich als eine "Ami" es fertig gebrach habe. Aber,... Leider seit 2001, das Meisterbrief gibt es nicht mehr, keine Lehrings und das lehrplan steht lehr.
So jetz, kann jeder sebststaegid sein und das eine gewisser qualaetat steht nicht mehr als norm.
Fuer mich ist die zeit vorbei, ich habe meine Schein! Nach so viele jahren in diese branche macht ich immer noch Aufnahmen, - Falls Sie noch fragen habe bitte stellen Sie alle an mir.

**********
- it's an interactive process. However, I have very limited TF* time available these days. My TF* work is geared towards my artistic aspirations, and as such focuses on the nude human form, light & shadow, and conveying a mood...

Current TF Project: Lingerie Catalog Girls
Lingerie and models, in images with nudes, to contrast the delicacy of a nude figure with the harsh feel of one in Lingerie an object that stays centered. Also includes images of bodies contorting around the objects, shying away, retreating, etc...

Portfolio Development
If you're looking to build your book and like my look, I have very low rates for shooting what you want. Definitely the easiest and fastest way to get images with my style into your port.
*Commercial slots available in June*

Paying Models
I pay models only if I'm getting paid for the shoot myself. Otherwise, I do commercial sessions, TF*, or tears if I'm doing a commercial shoot pro bono.

If you must have TF, themes that are more likely to get you in my schedule are...

Tattoos - I only have two, but I love some of the great work that goes on in the dimly lit corners or our world.

Other motives upon request. Fun- lets get together with a model and showcase your art, the model's pose, and my lens!

Body scape - I enjoy exploring the body as a landscape.

Self-cover Implied - There's something compelling about a implied nude. Challenging the model to create the cover with their own pose;
