CA PHOTOGRAPHICS

I’ve been taking pictures for about 12 years now. I retired 3 years ago due to complications of life, but now I am back and ready to continue building my work and provide models with the help they need and do the thing that I enjoy!

I don’t call myself “professional” and I probably never will. I can promise “professional” treatment and results.

I am always honing the craft. I like to make beautiful people look beautiful, but my favorite thing is to make “average” people look beautiful. I like to give people what I expect, and that is simply: “Give Your Best.” Everyone has different skill levels and I believe we can all help each other out.

I DO NOT pay for models, never have, never will…for every paid model there are many unpaid models just looking for that breakthrough or need help. I *may* reimburse for gas, but that’s about it.

I only asked to be paid myself because all the equipment costs money. My time costs family time. Post Production Costs time. Remember that a model works for 1-4 hours, a photographer works at least 1-4 weeks depending on his workload and post processing. I also work full time for the government, so my time is limited by that as well.

I’m not here to date, only to provide professional service with lots of fun! I need no drama queens, petty princesses, or angry boyfriends to work with; be honest with me and I am honest with you. If you have an ego, that’s fine because you will care about yourself, but leave the ego attitude at the door. Work is collaborative, no one need be better than anyone else.

Out of respect for my wife’s requests, I won’t do fully/openly nude or explicit photos, pretty much everything else is fine, which ranges from headshots to see thru/ “glimpse” type photography (I know what you’re thinking, what’s the diff from that and nudes? Ask the boss.) the focus will always be on art. I don’t do fetish or any of the darker stuff; I care about beauty and light.

So rules are:
1. Escorts are great, WHEN THEY ARE IN ASSISTANCE. If your boyfriend doesn’t get what you’re doing or is insensitive to what you are doing, and/ordoesn't understand what you may be doing, don’t bring him! You want support. I want support (and cheap labor sometimes!)
2. Have an MUA? Bring em! I will work on collaborating with a few in the coming days.
3. Releases are required for everyone!
4. No minors! Photo ID will be captured by the camera prior to shoot.
5. Injury release will be required as well as I like to venture into interesting settings.
6. I have studio equipment and set up where ever I can, I do not have a studio at home. I have light weight outdoor lighting as well.

What you get if you pay me:
Tier 1:
Unlimited Time
Unlimited Wardrobe (or outfit changes to be clear, your own wardrobe)
A CD of your images and rights to use for unpaid purposes. You will get anywhere from 10 to ?? pics of my choosing, edited, post processed blah blah blah.
All that for $100

Tier 2:
2-4 hours shoot time
Unlimited Wardrobe
A CD of your images and rights to use for unpaid purposes. You will get anywhere from 5 to 50 pics of my choosing, edited, post processed blah blah blah.
All that for $50

TFP:
Considered on a case by case basis
2-4 hours shoot time
Unlimited Wardrobe
A CD of your images and rights to use for unpaid purposes. You will get no more than 25 pics of my choosing, edited, post processed blah blah blah.

Thanks for reading! I hope I can help you achieve the look and dreams you are striving for!
