My name is Dio and I am a photographer with an Industrial Design background. I also have many years of experience in the movie industry from when I used to live in Southern California. If it's twisted, warped, kinky or bazaar I'm interested in photographing it. My photography is both raw and refined, an extension of who I am. I'm comfortable working both in the studio and on the "street." I enjoy offending and arousing.

I am always looking for that great model or shot to widen my portfolio. Because of that, I don't want money to be an excuse and I am open to other forms of compensation.

Before any shoot I will have already discussed with you what I am looking for and will always be upfront and honest. I will never try and talk you into something you are not comfortable with. I like my shoots to have structure so they flow smoothly. If it's you who came to me seeking a photographer I will discuss and ask questions till I'm clear on what you are looking for at the shoot.

Without exception I will always ask you to sign a model release form including a copy of your I.D. to prove age. If you want me to do a photo shoot for private (as in not for a portfolio) purposes only I will never release, show or otherwise share those images with anybody else.

Typically I do not permit boyfriends, husbands, managers, partners, mothers etc. It's too much of a distraction and have found on several occasions the model "catering" (whether they realize it or not) to them and not giving me their full attention. I will have a female assistant with me to help me as well as the model(s).

Thank you,
Dio
