About Me
LET'S SHOOT!!!!!
Hi I'm Al, a semi retired pro photographer of 30+ years. I am accepting a few assignment and commissions and now enjoying creating images just for the "art" of it. My wife and I are able to host models in our spacious home and studio. We are located just south of Cleveland in Berea, Ohio. Our 5 secluded acres bordering the Cleveland Metro Parks offer many areas to photograph. We also have a Jacuzzi and In ground pool. The images you take for your portfolio are an investment in your future as a model. If you are serious about modeling, then it is time to start looking at it like a business. You are the product, and you need amazing images to sell that product to its fullest potential. The bottom line is that regardless of what we charge, if you don’t have enough faith in yourself to invest in your dream, why would anyone else? - See more at: http://modelmayhem.com/education/photography/291-why-do-professional-photographers-charge-so-much?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=edu#sthash.rMWTwYxo.dpuf David Bickley I AM HONORED FOR BEING SELECTED "18+ MM Pic Of The Day" August 31, 2012 Magnolia Also an expanded number of image of each of my sessions on by Blog: COMMENTS FROM CLIENTS & MODELS Ebonee Andrews 3-16-17 OMG!!!!!

Julia Kristi MM#3468442 It was a pleasure to go through the photos you selected. They all turned out extremely well. I also enjoyed the cheese cloth ones, but I am still working on modifying my portfolio, so don't be surprised if one of those makes an appearance soon! Marie MM#3581500 You are quite brilliant. These photos are beyond what I could Ever imagine. It was very much worth the workout of climbing and posing in the hot sun. Worth every minute.

You freaking rock! Tyffani #2616264 Hey Al, Thank you so much for the pictures. I love them. they are fantastic. I appreciate you photographing me. I had a lot fun. Brandi OMP Model 465179 This was an exceptionally fun shoot (which I can’t believe I’m saying considering how much I detest mornings!) Indeed it was and these are great! The Rock Hall ones look amazing! What a shame we got kicked out so quickly. Ian loves the sepia one with the vines. I particularly like the black and white one with me on the bridge piece with my leg up on my knee. Thanks! Amy "Ooh, that is gorgeous! Thank you! I'm so looking forward to seeing the rest." Windy Lass Haha! You definitely brought out the creativity in me :) I am SORE today and it took 3 showers to get all that dirty off!! :) by model MzFit MM# 156097 OMP# 35306 Al, "I had an amazing time working with you! The images are great, I can't wait to see the final product! You truly are talented. I hope to see you again next year!" Kim Kim Scarlett MM# 802840 OMP# 383154 I love the hay ones. The ones in the house turned out really nice. I'm glad you made me do them. I think I like the bw best, but it really depends on the shot. Jessica MM#2390691 AL's BIO I co-founded, owned and operated Love Photography for over 30 years in Berea, and Cleveland, Ohio. My son, Derek and his wife Tatiana have taken over Love Photography and operate it out of Westlake, Ohio. The studio # is 440-871-LOVE(5683) if you need wedding and family pictures. I was awarded "Master of Photography" from the Professional Photographers of America plus many other professional achievements, including Ohio Photographer of the Year. I am looking to connect with some models who are looking to build their portfolios or experienced models looking to add quality nude images. I feel I have some special skills that can greatly professionalize your portfolio. Having photographed anything from Babies, Children, Senior, Weddings, Families to Funerals I am now ready to shoot what I have a passion for "the human figure". I love to shoot classic nudes as well the edgy more erotic images. Nude is natural and at this stage of my life I prefer to create beautiful nude images.The human body is beautiful and there is no shame showing it. Although the focus of my work is nude I am happy to add a few clothed (textile) images to your portfolio during our session together. All I ask is that if you set up an appointment with me just be truthful. If you get cold feet, are too tired or any reason you need to cancel, just please give me the courtesy of a phone call (216-401-5588) with some advance notice. My very reasonable retiree commercial rate for strictly textile (clothed) images is $90.00 per hour including make-up and hair styling. Plus just $10.00 per retouched image via digital or print form. "I DO NOT PAY MODELS" UPCOMING 2019 Creative PROJECTS: Models inquire if interested Creating indoors and outdoors at my spacious Berea home, grounds and studio.

As I am sure the same can also be said for photographers. For a variety of reasons (No Show, No Call, Drama Queens, Not Co-operative, TFCD bait and switch and ask for pay.) Nadia Arrazcaeta - 2 times she did not show and backed out today (5-25-11) 3 hours before the shoot with a limo ordered, a male model and 2 assistants all relying on her. Not professional, not reliable at all. aka, sexylatinia911 MM#1890845 aka, Nadia OMP# 451503 Patsy Jodejuan MM# 2298347 ( set date & then no return call to set location) Michelle Nye MM# 1778459 (confirmed but no show) Amanda Tate MM# 1721638 (waited an hour at the site, would not take my call) Amberwine MM# 1289808 (no show) Madonna Love MM# 513162 (waited an hour at the site, no call) Jen Donovan MM# 1780821 AKA Jen Conyngham (Confirmed the night then I drove 2 hours to Toledo, no show or call)
