Preface

Long Island, NY 90min from Manhattan NYC via public transportation expenses reimbursed to Ronkonkoma train station 15+ years experience exploring art and erotic nudes.

I have always been fascinated with figure photography - the female form, the curves, the impression it makes on our brains.  The feminine form is imparted onto the design of Italian automobiles.  It is a favorite subject among artists.

Upon self-reflection, I asked myself why I love nude photography so much.  The answer is: The commercial world scrubs clean and censors nude images to bring products, and the Internet itself, to a wider audience.  This sterile nipple-free environment increases profits and reduces the chances that someone would take offense.



How can anyone be offended by a nipple?  Or by any part of the human body.  It's fascinating in both form and function.  As our corporate overlords scrub the Internet from nude images they also rip away our humanity.  We live in an alternate reality where everyone wears clothes and nobody fucks.

I say, rage against the machine which enslaves us and rips away our humanity.  Let us celebrate our nakedness and produce art for art seeks not to replicate reality but rather to create an alternate reality of equal intensity.


My humble studio, access to a well-lit parking lot, free ample parking in a quiet crime-free neighborhood.  Convenience store within walking distance.  Restaurants in the area include Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, American, Donut shop, and several bars all within 3 mile radius.

What does it mean to be a "professional?"

A pro photographer should not make unwelcome sexual comments about the model nor make crass comments about a model's breasts or genitals.

A pro will endeavor to make a shoot enjoyable and stress-free, treating models with respect at all times i.e. don't be a jerk.

A pro will never physically touch a model without permission and will obtain express permission before manipulating a model's genitals, breasts, or buttocks.

A pro will conform to FOSTA-SESTA, Title 18 Section 2257 if applicable, and all local, State, and Federal regulations for generating content.

A pro will respect the model's privacy and will not pry into their home, family, or social life unless invited to do so.

A pro will keep all texts and emails brief, clean, and business oriented, will not send unwelcome or unsolicited personal messages, and will avoid transmitting sexually explicit language and images unless appropriate to do so.

A pro will discuss with the model, in advance of a shoot, the display of their genitals, face, name, and personally identifying marks in the images before any images are created and will not publish images which do not conform to the mutual agreement.

A pro will not attempt to up-sell or pressure a model to exceed the boundaries agreed to  **except after shoot is completely over and planning a follow-up at a later date, or unless invited to do so by the model.

A pro will never ask a woman to remove a wedding or engagement ring or item of jewelry which has sentimental value.

A pro will never capture hidden or candid video or images nor exceed the description of work detailed in the model release nor use the images in a way as to cause complications for the model's life outside of the studio.

A pro will pay the model promptly after the shoot any agreed on fees, should both parties be satisfied with the results.

A pro will compensate a model for unexpected expenses and rescheduled shoots which are cancelled on short notice.

A pro will provide edited content within a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 4 weeks.

A pro will safeguard the personal details of all models, refer to models only by their stage name or alias in public, and never share their email addresses and phone numbers to a third party without the model's permission.

A pro will never act in a lewd, perverse, or creepy manner unless invited to do so.

A pro will cease any communications with a model at the request of the model or if the model fails to respond, indicating disinterest.

A pro will never damage a model.

A pro will strive to make the model look fabulous in their photographs and preserve the reputation, dignity, and professional image of the model's intended persona and genre.
