About Me

I am a semi-pro photog in the Denver area with a very creative mind, and a lot of imagination!  I am always looking for new fresh talent to help get started in modeling, and work on some fun and crazy projects.  I try to encourage the model to be  part of the shoot and also create the images with me!
Together we can create images that will benefit the both of us!

I have been working with models and bands for over 20 years. I have had work published in magazines, newspapers and have shot several album covers for local popular rock bands, have had photos used on websites, as well as calendars. 
No I do not have a $2,000.00 camera, nor do I want or need one. 
I let the model, and the surroundings dictate the shot, .. the mood, ... the look, ... the feel, etc.
I have helped MANY beginners, or new models get their portfolios started or even finished, without them having to pay a single cent, and working for them at no charge.
I do this because to me, photography is fun, ... it is exciting. 
If a photographer tells you that he is not nervous and excited about starting a new project, or working with a new girl, .. then maybe he should look for another job.  My feeling is that if you are still getting nervous, excited, turned-on, and having fun, ... it will definitely show in your work!
Your best photograph should always be your next one!

If youre looking to start your first portfolio .... No, ... you won't have to put down a deposit to get started, and no, ... you won't owe anything when we are finished.  A little secret, ... it helps me with experience, builds my own resume and port, and creates a lot of new friendships and contacts.  So yes I DO in fact benefit from the experience.
I shoot mostly TFCD, but at times we negotiate pay to the model, depending on the shoot! 
I would not ask you to shoot or accept the assignment if I didn't think you were great for the role!
I believe that when I shoot TFCD, that we are providing each other with an excellent trade of services, so please don't ask for compensation when it's TFCD (I don't).


I love to shoot...  plain and simple...  if you like my style, then contact me.  In most cases we can find a happy medium to benefit what you are looking for in a photo shoot.  Having said this, I am always open to collaborating with people that are creative, enthusiastic, artistic and want to have fun. 
IMPORTANT, ... WANT TO HAVE FUN.  It comes through in the photos.

NOTE:
I DO NOT like escorts, friends, or family hanging around as it is very distracting for myself and  for the model as well.  I have nothing but the utmost respect for my models and never shoot in any conditions that would make them feel uncomfortable and I expect the very same from you.
There are usually 3 or 4 models scheduled on the same evening, so you will rarely be alone.
Let me say it again, ...  I DO NOT like people just hanging around.

I do not have a Studio nor do I wish to spend hundreds of dollars to rent one for the shoot.  This is why I can do what I do at no charge.
I use whatever is around me!   
I am open to using your place if it's cool or if you know of some cool locations all the better!
I also am not opposed to getting a nice hotel to use as a set, and paying for it out of my pocket.

    Another Note:
I will not shoot thousands of photos just to find 50 good ones.  I like to shoot between 30 and 50 of each look, then move on to the next idea.  I try to make each photo good.  No one benefits from spending 8 hours on a set.  NO ONE.
Wasting time on the set kills the excitement of the shoot, and makes everyone involved tired, and in some instances bored.

I love to create and have fun.  If the session is NOT fun, we may as well just end it.  I am not saying this to be mean or act like I am a great artist, ... I just feel that a waste of times is just that, ... a waste. 
Im not an artist and dont pretend to be photographer of the year, ... just a guy that loves to shoot and get some great fun shots!

That being said, ... I can't wait to work with you!
