Hey everyone who actually reads this; my name is Valik Szekely, I am an artist plain and simple. I've been in the industry for almost 17 years now.  My art mediums are quite extensive; tattoos, piercings,  woodworking as well as photography.  I utilize all of these skills to the best of my abilities and keep learning new techniques for bettering the outcome of my results. I first started shooting for Anime On Location as a third camera while attending Anime, BDSM and Hair Conventions across the US, then I started dabbling into some model photography while doing on-stage shots of band performing almost daily which is easy to do when living across the bridge from downtown Cleveland, OH. I really enjoy shooting bands, models and just about anything else I see with my eyes. I've also worked with; a horror film production company as the lead photographer/cinematographer, website administrator and designer.  Over the years I've been networking with companies and other professionals in the scene. I'm very open-minded and experienced in almost every known and some unknown genres of the industry.  My career has taken me to many different places and events.

Personally I believe once an image has been cropped and/or modified exceptions; (resized, copyrighted), those shots are no longer deemed photos but instead are Graphic Manipulations.

All of my photography has not been edited in any other way, hence I am a photographer.

I'm available to do any type of photoshoot, however I do reserve the right to deny anything I deem "tasteless" in content.  I'm very creative when it comes to shoots.  I've been known to build entire sets just for an opportunity to work in a desired theme. I have the "eye" of an artist and I direct my models to fulfill the desired idea i have in mind. My imagination has interested "would-be" SG models and has helped those models reach their personal potential which has furthered their careers. I enjoy working with new models to help get their portfolios started.  If you'd like to see more of my work visit my http://valik.deviantart.com account
