About Me

I am a professional photographer in New Mexico!  I have 39+ years of experience. Wedding photography has been my main area of concentration but, I am willing to shoot on a TFP/CD basis IF the model has a look that I can use for my portfolio. Helping new models build their ports in a safe environment is what I enjoy doing.

  I was recently contracted by Maxim Magazine  to be a photographer scout for "The Girl Next Door" consideration. So far, I have "discovered" 3 models that have appeared in Maxim. I’m constantly searching among the throngs for those individuals I feel could be potential models in front of my camera. And though there are many attractive women out there, few really move me to actually walk over (or "click" over) and introduce myself in what could easily turn into simply an embarrassing moment for both of us. But it does happen. To begin, she is much more than just another attractive young lady. She will stand out among the crowd without question. She is one who has nice height yes, and a face that shows smiles as easily as pensive stares, along with legs for days as they say, but most importantly, it’s that face. She must be more than simply another pretty face is all I’m saying. There must be a certain quality of attitude to go along with the eyes, the mouth, and the hair. And though what I say now is somewhat altruistic, what I see in her face is drawn from years of experience working in this business. A sort of naturalness of movement and sweetness combined. And only if I see she has all those qualities, only then will I be moved to actually approach her.

ANY model may at ANY time bring someone to the shoot. If a model is under 18yrs, I REQUIRE a parent or legal guardian to be present at the shoot...no exceptions!!!

So, if I ask you to pose for me, remember that I have seen a quality in you that set you above the rest!

I am a photographer that uses the camera to capture the image. I depart from the current trend that many photographers are trapped into…using Photoshop to make the image!

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.

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.
