ShootForMe Photography

TFCD SUNDAYS! I do limited TFCD work with interesting models, Sundays 11am to 3pm.

Booked through first week of July... but there are always reschedules.

They're popular, what can I say!

----------------------------------------------------

Hi, my name's Thom.

I am looking to take images that are both artistically beautiful and have some resonance for the subject. I do portraiture, light painting, and figure studies.

Love to build portfolios, and we can discuss TFCD work as well (for that, I prefer models that do their own hair and makeup, just for convenience of the shoot; there are larger shoots where I do that have an MUA present).

Right now, I want to do artistic dance/human form images; artistic moody images with selective focus; Polaroids (I have a few left!); classic figure work with floaty, dreamy fabric.

I enjoy exploring a variety of styles, though I prefer B&W/sepia portraiture and classic beauty images. I tend toward quiet portraits, emotive photography, B&W fashion, romantic/pictorialist photography. Think Peter Lindbergh, Sante D'Orazio, Edward Weston, Annie Leibovitz (when doing B&W), Bill Brandt, Helmut Newton.

I'm happily married with two grown kids. My only goal is to get a wonderful photo. Someone's favorite photo. THE photo. It's so rewarding.

NOTE: I will not shoot erotica or Maxim-like glamour. Just not my thing. I am not remotely interested in shooting your private parts, and not remotely interested in dating or hooking up with you. I am here for making some awesome art and doing port work for folks, so hope we are on the same page!

CURRENT PROJECTS

Dance. Capturing the human form in motion and position. This is the one I'm most aggressively pursuing right now.

Moods. Moody photos using selective focus.







Floating. Figure studies and silhouettes with dreamy floaty fabric.

Acceptance. Four images front, right, back, left. Study in self-acceptance.

High-key. High key portraiture.

Reflections. Images with glass and crystal reflections falling on the subject.

I'm very creative and love a model that likes to try interesting ideas and collaborate on creative, emotional art.
