Just a heads up...  I am NOT in Chicago people. For some reason people assume that because I'm in IL, that I must be in or close to Chicago. I'm in Carbondale, which is in Southern Illinois. Niot Northern IL, where Chicgo is.

Since MM has taken a nose dive popularity wise, I sporadically update my port on here. My website is updated more often.

With all that said… Thanks for checking my port. 😬

I've been doing modeling portfolios, promotions, comp. cards, etc., for a little over 15 years now. When I decided to move back here to Southern IL to help family out, that were dealing with health issues.. I sold my studio in Clayton & came back to the area. I no longer make my living with modeling/promo shoots, as the modeling scene here in Southern Illinois is about non-existent. Therefore, these days, I do shoots in my spare time purely for the art & love of photography.

I enjoy taking & creating images of many different genres/styles. Unless specified & asked for… I avoid recreating the same image with different models. I strive for images that catch people's attention & makes them take a second look.

Since i shoot for the fun of it these days,  I don't have any issues doing TFP/TFCD shoots, or even assisting new models in creating their portfolio & website, if applicable.
If you are not from this area, don’t / can’t travel & would like to work together, just reach out and send me a message. I do love to take random road trips & travel as much as I can when not working or have other commitments.

~ PAID SHOOTS ~
If you are a model that’s only seeking paid shoots, please understand that I do this for the art & fun of it now. I'm not opposed to doing paid shoots with models who have reasonable rates & that I feel we could add some great content to each others portfolios.

- NON LOCAL MODELS -
If I totally dig your look & current portfolio, you seem that you would be a blast to work with & think we could create & add something awesome to each others portfolios… I do occasionally pay for, or assist  you with your travel expenses. By paying for… this means reimbursing you for the costs. Booking / Paying up front for a models travel, sending an advance, etc… is a no go. Unfortunately,, I’ve been burned one too many times in the past with trusting a models word/promise & was screwed out of money, with no shoot happening.
With that said… no matter where you are from & you would really like to work together, just shoot me a message & we can discuss the details. Never hurts to ask. 😊

NO DRIVE BY FRIEND REQUESTS PLEASE!
Please don't send me a friend request if you’re not going to at least send an email, comment, TAG, etc... with your request. It's definitely nice to have friends on here & network but I'm not a collector of "friends" on here and this isn't the old school myspace. Just sayin... 😂

- INSTAGRAM -
Feel free to add my personal IG if you wish. On IG I have push notifications turned on & will be notified faster there vs  if you solely send a message on here, as I only have email notifications turned on for this site.
Please let me know on IG that you are from MM & also please include your  MM ID number.
