I like shoots to be collaborative between me and the model(s).  I usually approach shoots without a fully developed concept - I typically just start with a location, the seed of an idea, and let the shoot unfold organically.  I don't usually go into much detail about a shoot beforehand for this reason.  Since I’m a busy guy, I don't usually book shoots very far in advance.  I like to have a sense of what the weather is expected to be, and select locations based at least partly on this.  Please bear in mind that some of the locations I select can be time-sensitive, and their appearance and suitability can change dramatically in a matter of days (due to weather, plant growth, etc.).

I enjoy beauty of all kinds, but with my work I prefer depicting natural beauty.  I am always seeking models brave enough to not hide behind too much makeup.  Models also brave enough to not hide behind clothing are welcome as well.  I like simplicity and timelessness and I try to stay open-minded.  I don't usually like to define what I do, or box myself into (or out of) any particular kinds of work.

If you've seen my portfolio, you know that I shoot nudes, but ONLY with those who WANT to be photographed nude.  If I contact you, then you can safely assume I've not only seen your portfolio, but I've also read your profile.  If it says that you "don't shoot nudes, so don't even ask", then I already assume it will be a clothed shoot and I won't try to turn it into something else.  I am respectful of boundaries, and I want anyone I work with to be safe, comfortable, and happy before, during, and after a shoot. I like working with people and creating unique photo's that talk to personality and effect, and I love to show off the beauty of a woman through pictures.
