Studio 371

Hello and Thank you for your time.

I am a full-time professional, published photographer. I shoot and edit my own photography. I completed both my degrees at the Ohio Institute of Photography. I have one degree in Portraiture and the other in Commercial Photography. I like to have fun at my shoots, but I am also a professional. I am always looking for the next challenge or a new idea. I don’t settle for being comfortable where my shooting and editing is concerned. I like trying new and different locations because it brings out the creativity in me. I love the use of natural light when at all possible, especially in creative outdoor settings. I will not pull a no-show, nor will I cancel. I am a NO DRAMA Photographer… I don’t have time for it or a need for it.

I use digital format camera and usually the shoots take place at my studio, which is in Kettering just off of East David Rd. I also like to explore other locations, including outdoor settings where natural light can be utilized. I'm very creative with the use of studio lighting. My main areas of interests are B&W, Traditional, Fashion, and High School Senior portraits. I also do Editorial, Artistic, Figure, Lingerie, Sports, Family Portraits, Groups, Corporate and Commercial Photography. I like trying new and different ideas as well as locations.

I am willing to do TFP, TFCD and TFE as time is allowed; this is my full-time job. I DON’T PAY MODELS. I will travel out of the Dayton metro area as long as travel is compensated. Paid jobs are always welcome. Send me a message for my rates; which are very reasonable. Other services that I can offer consist of, but are not limited to, hard bound books, Comp Cards and Prints just to name a few.

For TFP (Time for Print), TFCD (Time for a CD of the images), and TFE (Time for Emailed images), I will touch up only the prints I feel are acceptable. All the images you will receive are sized for the web and no more then 800 pixels at the longest edge. My logo will be displayed on the prints, unless agreed upon prior to shooting. I am very professional and ask that you show up, be on time, and act professional as well. Not that this would be a stuffy shoot at all. My shoots are fun and relaxing. Yes, my portfolio contains nude, implied nudity and lingerie, but by no means do I require you to do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. It’s the model’s decision as to what to wear and how to pose.

When it comes to escorts coming to shoots, the only thing that I ask is that they conduct themselves in a professional matter. And be forewarned, they may be put to work. I always welcome an extra hand when at all possible.

Thank You for visiting my profile. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
