Fine Art Figure Studies

Service Description

I've had many years of experience photographing human beauty in all of its forms. I was juried into the 'International Model Society' several years ago and I contribute to both our print publication and our online platform. I am an older gentleman with a very even demeanor and am easy to work with. Please take a look at the work featured on this site in the drop down menu under 'Projects and Publications'. Note that my work is not Boudoir or Playboy magazine style imagery. It's tasteful, elegant, and as non-objectifying as photography in this genre can be. Every session is handled with a thorough respect for individual boundaries. I've worked with people of all kinds. Body type, age, ethnicity, gender, and disabilities have absolutely no impact on your ability to participate in this kind of experience. My goal is to represent you in the way that you want to be seen. My editing methods are largely dictated by you and photo proofs of ongoing work are always available for your review. Many people consider participating in this kind of venture and are held back by self-consciousness, fear, and insecurity. It's very important that the shoot be conducted at a location in which you feel comfortable. I've conducted sessions in client's homes, in secure outdoor locations, at pools, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and virtually anywhere that my client feels comfortable. If a safe, well planned, respectful shoot is something that interests you, please see my Contact Page on this site and fill out and submit the form and follow up with a phone call or text. After a brief discussion about your ideas, I'll email a 'mood board.' with some images that you can refer to for posing ideas. Then we'll plan on a longer phone call, a Zoom session, or a public meeting well before we meet for your shoot. Feel free to have a friend join you regardless of how we communicate. Remember, you only look the way you do once. Maybe you'll be the one who overcomes their nerves and creates some beautiful memories to treasure for a lifetime. Partners and friends are encouraged to accompany you to your session and can be very helpful in creating a relaxing atmosphere, getting you a soft drink or snack, or helping straighten your hair or drape. They are never in the way and usually enhance the experience. I will also give some verbal suggestions while we work. Please note that if I need to use one of my female assistants, she may be a student doing an internship.
