Models please check out references of people who have worked with a photographer prior to scheduling photo sessions...... I stress people (models or MUA's ) who have worked with the photographer!

Starting in September 2009 I will only be doing a very limited TFCD schedule...... But it never hurts to ask.

Again you should always check references of models or MUA's that have worked with each photographer that has contacted you or you are thinking about working with, to get basic reliable information, as there are always jealous individuals out there that start rumors for their own gain. Make sure the photographer gives you credit for the images... It's always a two way street when a model and photographer work together.

As a talented photographer said on MM whom I agree with:

"I appreciate models who are serious about their work, who make and keep appointments, offer suggestions, and arrive on time. I have wonderful respect for them, because they respect my time and effort. I will do my best to help them with their modeling careers"

A note on how I work:

A model can bring an escort with her to any of my photo sessions. This is especially true in this day of the internet as you are dealing with someone you have never met at the other end of the keyboard. I believe a model should do with every photo session you do no matter who you are working with or what references you received. Also I only do the style of images and outfits that the model wants and works in. We go over the content and image style prior to setting up the date to shoot so there are no suprises. I want the model to be comfortable with what she does and how she looks. The model will see every image taken at the session and I only use a models image with her permission. I shoot everything from Fashion to Glamour Nudes but it is always the model who picks out the style and comfort level.

Have had tear sheets from various magazines and publications including FHM, Maxim, Stuff, Playboy Cyber club and eGirls News.
