Please read my casting above. I’m seeking models, all types, to shoot with my cell phone for practice. I took a few years break from photography to take care of my awesome, wonderful mom. Last January, she died at the age of 96. I’m heartbroken.

My photography will change. You can help me reacquire my skills. My portfolio was all shot with film which is pretty expensive. The cell phone pics are a quick, practical way to practice. I will be posting these pics in a new MM account.

Every week, I will pick one or two models to work with. If I don’t select you, we can still do a shoot for $20 an hour using YOUR CELL PHONE so you’ll get all the pics. BUT ya have to let me keep 3 of my faves for my new MM account. I’m sure you can get lots of pics in just one hour.

Again, please read the casting! Thank you.

Shooting BEAUTY..... with respect....and class.

Let's create incredible images together.

The fabulous David Leddick in his fine art book "GORGEOUS GALLERY" declares: "The strength of men is often revealed in art. But the true beauty of men, less so."

Male beauty is amazing....yet hardly depicted. Men are beautiful. I specialize in shooting the male model but shoot female models as well.

This portfolio has been achieved through a TEAM EFFORT between model and photographer, both inspired, concentrating, in the flow, working with dedication and mutual respect to create a classic image that will last forever.

My photos of Kymberly Jane have over 80,000 views in her MM profile. Kym, congrats on having 2 million hits at One Model Place!

I shoot film, NO digital. Film is forever. Ok, I recently bought a digital point and shoot....but my Nikon film camera is still my main tool.

Photographer Norman Jean Roy shoots for Vogue and Vanity Fair. He shoots film and states: "A great portrait needs to first grab you and then let you sit in there and continue to draw you in...with a lot of fashion photography, it really hits you hard and then it slowly fades away." Read his thoughts on film and digital in the fashion world at:
http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/01/norman-jean-roy-digital-ruined-fashion-photos.html

Artists who inspire me: Salvador Dali, Pedro Almodovar, French new wave films and their directors Truffaut and Godard, Jean Paul Gaultier, David Lynch, film noir.

Photographers I adore: David LaChapelle, Pierre et Gilles, Hurrell, George Platt Lynes, Steven Klein, Lope Navo, Steve Diet Goedde, Kris DeWitte.

TFCD is reserved for concepts that inspire me, selecting models who best fit the concept with preference for those I have previously worked with who have demonstrated professionalism, modesty, a strong work ethic, and talent. NO attitude or prima donna behavior!!! Strong teams create incredible photos...individuals by themselves do not. Only interested in hardworking models willing to give their BEST.

Thank you for reading this.

#1065641 Loreal Lacy (MM now cancelled) http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30102376               
Loreal took a skirt used in the shoot without my permission. In the same shoot, Tiffany Cervantes forgot her hoop earrings in the studio. I mailed the earrings to her. In the shoot, it looks like a short black skirt, but it's actually long with a red/orange beaded patch. She's a naughty, naughty girl who stopped answering her phone. I'm sure a dog will bite her in the ass one day.
