NOTICE: New to the modeling biz? Check out Modeling 101*, a comprehensive series of articles on the modeling business designed to help newcomers get a clean start.

As for me, I'm a veteran portrait/fine-art/commercial photographer who has returned to the business after a 15-year break as a documentary & corporate video producer. Like everyone, I prefer to shoot for pay, but I also enjoy TF collaborations with models who are responsible, creative, and enthusiastic about the work. So, whether you're a new model wanting some friendly guidance while you develop your portfolio or an experienced veteran wanting to update your portfolio with some new work, give me a call and we'll talk.

For my own needs, I’m specifically looking for models and MUAs who are interested in creating dynamic, unusual images that push the glamour and nude genres toward fine-art portraiture. Additionally, we're always looking for models to help us create sample images for teaching points in the glamour- and fine-art nude workshops that we present to other photographers, and, of course, we can always use more models for the day-long workshops themselves. All modeling associated with our workshop presentations is paid work.

That said, here's the prickly part on TFCD:

I've been around the business for 30+ years and I'm dead serious about the work; if you're NOT as serious about modeling as I am about photography and you have trouble making and keeping appointments, please don't waste my time or yours. If you ARE serious, however, I promise you'll have an enjoyable experience and come out with professional showpiece images, delivered within 3 weeks pre-sized both for web-display and for portfolio-book prints. Don't be coy--if you don't ask, I can't respond, but if you do, I will (and I rarely bite).

Contact me through the Sourcelight web site or through the mechanisms provided here.
