Free lance photographer, mainly interested in art. But since I like to have human figures in my art, I'm more than willing to exchange glamor, fashion, casual or portrait type work for your helping me out with my artistic work. My glamor, fashion, casual and portrait type stuff is showcased over at

If you are new to modeling, please be sure you take a look at
http://www.newmodels.com/ for an introduction to the industry and realize that I am only a bit player in this game. Another really excellent collection of stuff about what goes on is here:

About me:
I'm retired military, but still working full time in the computer industry. I've been working with photography for many years and in the past three years have started working at assembling a body of art work for sale. I've done one gallery show and currently have work hanging in a gallery. I enjoy working with models who enjoy posing and creating great photographs, nude or clothed, holding an elegant pose or moving gracefully.
I particularly enjoy working with models in nature, but have also come to enjoy getting a great look in the studio that shows off the model's beauty of face, body or soul. (Inner beauty is very very rarely seen in a photograph. The few times I've captured it have been more pure luck than skill. But I try.)
I'm open to almost any kind of shoot and usually have a few ideas percolating waiting for the right model. Since I have a background in fencing and tai chi chuan, I can work with a model to get pictures with realistic sword work or interesting body work in them.
If you are interested in any of this, contact me and we can go from there.
The site
http://brandonsmithgallery.com has links to most of the places where my work is. I'm currently working on creating light paintings of many and various kinds, but generally involving models dancing or posing with lights.
Collaborated in a two man show at the Davis Gallery on the Stephens College campus in Columbia. These are light paintings rather than modeling shoots, though most of the photos did in fact have a model making the lights move. My images from the show are at
