TWB

Creative Statement

I am inspired by the opportunity to capture a person in a creative way that transcends their own self-image. The focus of my photography is not to simply take a photograph but to build a rapport between photographer and subject that creates something unique, almost spiritual. I strive to make people feel comfortable and make them laugh to entice them to let down their guard and reveal their inner spirit to the camera. I feel that a good portrait is a creative endeavor that can be simple while still maintaining complexity.
I have done so many different jobs in my lifetime. I can relate to people in ways that are foreign to most photographers and allows me to be more creative.Creative, unique, expressive- these three simple words define TWB Photography and the images that I strive to create. I look at myself as a portrait artist and as an artist I try to creatively capture the true beauty of each subject. I feel that this beauty that every person posseses creates their individuality.
In, my opinion, a photograph is more than simply an image of a person or thing: it is the expression of emotion, existence, and individuality of both the subject and the photographer. As the photographer, I am responsible for what is inside of the frame and what intent it conveys to the viewer. My current goal is to build an excellent book portraying my talent as a photographer and includes serious models who I can use for future projects Assumptions: Please understand if I TAG, COMMENT or send you a FRIEND request it means that I want to work with you. Contact me, especially if I leave my phone number.What about nude shots?
I will shoot them,it will depend on what are the photos going to be used for . , i am very particular about this all we need is more photos of naked chicks on a Harley but will not publicly display them. With the Internet so easily accessible and easy to copy images, I want the model to understand that I have their privacy as my primary concern for shooting. If you want them displayed publicly, then, you and I will select the best ones which we determine to be tastefully artistic. on Escorts may come to the shoot if it is cleared with me first i don't like suprizes ,i like to keep things on a open communication with every one I work with . let be professional, i perfear the escorts not to be someone that has a emotion attachment to the model . not counting the parents or garden that singes the paper work . they may not be in the immediate shooting area UNLESS ask for there help as I like to stay focus on the shoot not his or hers opeion. thank for reading this and hope to work with you .
