About Me

After being banned from posting in contests by MM, I am downsizing this account to basic has been completed. You will still be able to msg me here or use my Facebook/Instagram to contact me. However, I am not here that much so use the other two below:

http://www.facebook.com/dave.kay.73

http://www.instagram.com/davek_1

To all the wonderful models who I have shot over the years, I apologize for your picture and link being removed. MM and I had a disagreement which prompted me to reduce this account to Basic and pay them no more money. Thank you for understanding.

Also, to all who commented, linked to the photos or added photos to lists, sorry they are no longer available. You will get the MM dreaded 'This image has been removed.' Thank you too for understanding. You were wonderful fans with great honor bestowed on me.

Please check out my Credited Photos too.

Been a photographer for a number of years. I enjoy all aspects of photography. My goal on MM is to provide a quality service to all.

I will shoot TFP. I also charge reasonable rates for Model Portfolio shoot. Please contact me.

Models can expect 3 to 5 re-touched pictures per look about a week after the shoot, via email both web size and high resolution for printing.

My motto for glamour photography is, 'Be nice to the girl!'

I'm very patient and I have a very laid back style. Our shoot will be fun, productive and without pressure. NO nudes? NO implieds? NO problem! You set the limits, I respect them. I will never try to talk you into something you're not comfortable doing.

Did I mention we will have fun?

I am always on time and ask the same consideration from you. I will need a contact number so I can confirm with you the day before our shoot. I will also give you mine. I will NOT book a shoot with you without your contact info up front. This is to deter models who are not serious about shooting and to thwart no shows that cost me time, money, and inconvenience!

Please expect this to happen before the shutter snaps

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.
