About Me

I got my first paying gig in 1986. Someone wanted to pay me for my work. I had made it. I was a professional photographer. Boy did I have a lot to learn… Eventually I did become pro. I went from the mundane to the more extreme. My motto was I shoot what everyone else is afraid of. I got to express my ideas in model's portfolio. I was the artist and the model became the art. No Photoshop, no airbrushing, just me, the model, some light and the camera. Hopefully the result had a touch of perfection.
I decided to become a firefighter and did my photography there for a while. I still shot what everyone else was afraid of.
Things have come back around and now I want to get back to basics.
My studio equipment is gone, along with the assistants, the dozens of rolls of film, (remember those?) the studio and all the toys... It will just be me, the model, a little light, a little shadow, some imagination and a camera.
Looking at the caliber of talent on this site leaves me feeling a bit behind the times. I haven’t shot a model in over 15 years and based on what I see on here, not only do I have a LOT of talent to put in front of my camera, I have a lot of work to do to shoot as well as a lot of the talent >behind< the camera.

Shooting something on fire was SO much easier…

P.S. If you’re of the “new age woman” style of thinking and take offence to a door being held for you or other common curtseys, please have a great shoot with another photographer. My mom raised me to be a gentleman and I’m pretty set in my ways. I don't see any changes on the horizon anytime soon.

Credit Notes

My fire and police photography has been printed in a lot of places. I'll be happy to show you if you would like to meet. Everything I have is the actual publication, flyer, company report etc. Back then there was no digital imaging and today I guess I'm just too cheap to have it all scanned

Hey! Did you get my message? I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience & I Aim on coming from CA to Phoenix around August 27th - September 3rd before going towards NM. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to? ABOUT ME; I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Asia, Hawaii, & now in North America with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks. IG; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
Please let me know if you are interested & have a preferred day/time to shoot along with what area you are coming from or have in mind to shoot. Please let me know if you are ok with doing a deposit or if you only pay cash on the day. If you are interested to work with me but not sure when/where/how, please let me know anyway so I know to follow up closer to my arrival. My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details. Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
