I will NOT give permission for my images to be practice for retouching of any kind. This is a hard and fast rule. No exceptions.

Sorry I had to emphasize this with bold text, but people are just going ahead without asking first. Please just ask me FIRST.

Who I am

I am a Nude Photographer. My goal is to create Fine Art and Erotic nudes that are beautiful and powerful statements about light, and form, the beauty of Nature, feminine sensuality, sexuality, and the power of Women. I want to create, powerful intimate, personal images fraught with emotion and eroticism.

For prospective muses

I am looking for creative and artistic women who want to make fine art and erotic nude photographs on a TFP/CD basis. I'm not only interested in working with models per se. If you're a photographer/artist and you want to work from in front of the camera to express yourself, I'm very interested in collaborating with you. I am also very open to trade arrangements. I can offer Macintosh, Photoshop and/or photography lessons or content in return for time.


How I like to work

I want to make, intimate, personal, emotional photographs that we both can be proud of, that move us, that are a product of our shared effort. There are no limits to content. All I ask of you is that you have an open mind. Nothing that has not been discussed and agreed on beforehand will be brought up during a session by me without asking your permission first. Nothing that you bring up will be forbidden.

I am not particularly interested in one time shoots. I am looking for muses that I can develop an ongoing artistic relationship with. This means a high level of communication. If this is a problem, then I am not the photographer for you.

If you want to work with me, Tell me why. I want to collaborate with women who also have their own ideas that they want to express their ideas and their emotions through this process. I'm not interested in a mere subject who only brings a physical presence to the table. I am only interested in shooting with those who have actually looked at the full range of my work, and are excited to collaborate with me.

Restrictions

I rarely photograph women with surgically altered anatomy. I don't like breast implants. I do make exceptions, but very very rarely, and only in the case of someone whose presence is so electrifying that I find them irresistible. I'm only interested in natural beauty. I don't have a problem with tattoos. I like them if they are visually interesting and not Ugly. I love them if they are abstract enhancements of the woman's curves. I shoot nudes or beauty of women only. I might be induced to shoot headshots of men but that's all, and only for my standard fee.

A note on Stock
I'm always flattered when someone wishes to use any of my art for a project of theirs. It's exciting and humbling. I want to encourage it. If I can inspire as I've been inspired, that's wonderful. However! I do encourage anyone to use them for reference, composite use etc., but with my permission.

Unless you want to make something degrading or just ugly for the sake of ugliness I will say Yes!
