Nefarious Apparitions

“That which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal; from which it follows that irregularity – that is to say, the unexpected, surprise and astonishment, are an essential part and characteristic of beauty.” Charles Baudelaire

My Goal:
To capture a model's natural beauty, presence and attitude in a visually stimulating artistic image; art which captures the soul and art that conveys feeling and art that creates emotion.

What?
Got a special idea or want something different in your portfolio, let me know and we’ll work on it. I find that photographic art is the result of a collaborative team consisting of an imaginative photographer, talented model(s) & inspired MUA's; fueled by creative spirit and driven by a passion to overcome the ordinary.

I enjoy working with the experienced and inexperienced as well. That includes helping those starting out to develop a quality portfolio that represents them artistically and professionally.

Where?
I prefer working on location as opposed to studio work and outdoor shoots as opposed to indoor. That said; I work as well in urban settings such as city streets, parks, monuments, high rise suites and underground garages. I specialize in outdoor work (water, forests, fields, mountains and any other natural environment) where I find natural light, shadow, color and contrast will bring out the best a model has to offer, create mood and a visually striking photograph. I’ve worked on location throughout Washington, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii.

When?
I have a busy travel schedule so I make appointments and I keep them; I’m reliable and punctual. If you are the same; message or tag me here me and we’ll work out the time and place for your shoot.

Rates:
If I contact you for a shoot, I expect to compensate you unless we’ve made other arrangements ahead of time.

TF shoots are usually not a problem, just let me know what works for you and we’ll work something out; I expect only that you’ll respect my time; that is show up on time, be prepared.

If you request my services I’ll send you my rates and I’m happy to negotiate my compensation (cash, props, wardrobe or time trade) to make good things happen.

About Me:
I’ve been creating art in the photographic medium for many years. I’ve worked mostly with film; large format, medium format & 35mm. My training, knowledge and technique have transferred nicely to digital photography.

Just two last things:
1) All models involved in the shoot will be at least 18 years old
2) A signed model release form if you have one bring it if not I’ll have one
