I'm a full-time commercial photographer of conceptual and environmental portraits. That's right, I'm not a GWC! Photography isn't my hobby, and my shooting space is an actual studio in a commercial building miles from where I live, not a hotel room or a garage or basement in my home. This page is my creative outlet. Welcome!

ABOUT THE SHOOT
Comfort is paramount. Models are always welcome to bring a friend for support or safety, and if you'd like to meet at a coffee shop before scheduling a shoot, I would be glad to. I will also gladly provide references if you'd like to hear what fellow models have to say about working with me.
My favorite shoots are the most collaborative ones, so let's put our heads together. If you have poses or concepts you'd like to try, feel free to share them. My goal is always for us both to come away with images we really love.
After a shoot, I choose what I feel are the best images and make edits to them. I'm not big on overly processed photos, so you'll probably notice that I leave people looking pretty natural. Once I'm done (usually within two weeks), I'll send high-res copies of all the images I've edited. How many depends a bit upon how much we shoot, but I promise you won't feel short-changed.

ABOUT COMPENSATION
This is my creative outlet. I do not pay models and am not looking to make money myself, either by shooting or by selling work (happy to explain my rationale, just ask). I have no Patreon, no 500px, no folding table at Pike Place Market, etc. You're welcome to use the images we shoot however you like, but I'm only interested in making creative, artful images with attention to lighting and mood, and I really only want to collaborate with models who care about these same things. Models happy with snapshots as long as they're paid, or traveling models soliciting "bookings", please do not message me.
