For the most part, I like taking photos that tell a story, stories of my life, or the demons that haunt me. Yes, I do have a softer side, and it will show in some of my work, but not always. I am always serious about the project I am working on. That is my mission, from one shoot to the next, to make it a journey. The thing is, most people just live a dream with the shoots they do. All of mine are a reflection of some point in my past, so my shoots being a part of my life makes modeling so much easier for me. I love telling a story.

I'm a non-professional model who enjoys being in front of the camera.

After being clean & sober for 21 years, I've finally found something which gives me the same kind of fix drugs did back in the day: hearing that shutter click.

The few photographers that I have worked with have told me that I am good at what I do. It feels natural for me to stand in front of your camera and give you just what it is your looking for; without you having to say a word. Also, some has said that I always look so serious, I guess I am running off of my past life experiences. I'm not going to say that is a bad thing, but it's something that I run with.

I am very comfortable in my own skin. I am interested in nude modeling, but at times, I DO want to keep the clothes on! Some of the ideas I have & want to try are listed below. If you think I am someone who might be able to give you what it is you are looking for then PLEASE feel free to contact me. I am willing to travel but please be within a 50 mile radius of my location if this is free work.

Industrial settings (disused warehouse, power station, boiler or pump room, old machinery, etc)
Semi public locations (rail bridge or yard, parking lot, city roof tops, dock yard, construction site, ghost town, ruined buildings)
Nature (rock, desert, forest, streams)
Body painting
Sculpture or body cast
Live modeling at an art opening or similar event

Thank you for looking me over and I hope to hear from you soon.
Also, please look at my list below, some of these look fun. smile

I really want to thank Christy S (photographer) www.modelmayhem.com/csimmonsphoto And Christi B (Model) For an amazing experience. This was by far the best shoot I have had the honor of being a part of. I wish to thank you both for an experience I'll not soon forget.
