Studio 618

I've been doing photography professionally for a little over 10 years now. I shoot all digital and travel quite frequently to MO (St. Louis) & IN (Indy. area). If you are in those areas and are interested in shooting or collaborating, feel free to shoot me a message. I do LOVE to travel so if your somewhere other than Indy or Stl. & want to shoot, let me know. I love road trips and gettin away for a few days. Or if you feel like gettin away, I can sometimes help or in some cases cover travel expenses if I feel that our shoot would greatly add to my port.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs in what you would like to add to your portfolio. I shoot just about everything under the sun and am always willing to collaborate with models and other photographers who have their own unique ideas. If you are just like having your picture taken, just beginning modeling, middle of the road, or just need some new, fresh looking shots, let's put some ideas together & shoot!

***TRAVEL***
I do love to travel & definitely understand other peoples passion with traveling. I have had many people help me along the way & believe in paying things forward. I can and do regularly host professionals who travel. So if your a model, photographer, mua, etc, and your coming through my area, and you need a place to crash, just shoot me a message.

*** TFCD ***
Depending on my current projects I do offer some TFCD shoots if I feel it could enhance my portfolio in some way, or to help build a beginner's port. If you are interested in doing some TFCD, and feel we can add something to each other's ports., drop me a line with any ideas you might have.

*** ESCORTS ***
Never have been a big fan of them. Not because I want to be the only guy around, or because I don’t trust them, but because simply put... The majority of them are distracting. As much as people want to argue that the person won’t get in the way, or they’ll be there to help, it's almost always distracting. The model is always concerned about time, or if the escort that came with them is bored, if the escorts ready to leave or trying to find them something to do. Plus, I'm not too crazy about untrained people holding or moving a few thousand dollars worth of lighting and equipment. HOWEVER... I completely understand where the women are coming from because there are more creepy photographers (GWC'S) out there than not, and a woman should be concerned with her safety these days unfortunately. If possible I prefer to meet, talk to, etc.. with models before shooting. That way we are on the same page and are able to build a rapport. Having a very strong line of communication with the photographer about what you are, and are not comfortable with is always a plus. At the very least, let someone you trust know where you’ll be and who you’re working with.

** FLAKES **
I am a professional, and I ask you to be the same. Please be on time to the shoots, don't do a no call/no show(that's just rude & unprofessional), as well as cancelling a shoot at the last second. I respect you time, so please respect mine.

** FRIEND REQUESTS**
NO DRIVE BY FRIEND REQUESTS PLEASE! Please don't send me a friend request if your not going to at least send an email, comment, TAG, etc... with your request. It's definitely nice to have friends on here and network but I'm not a collector of "friends" on here and this isn't myspace. Just sayin...

Feel free to add, friend, like, text or call!
