Current things on my list to help expand my portfolio - lingerie - tattoo focused shots - alternative - fitness - outdoor portraits and casuals (I'll entertain studios shots if the concept inspires me)

Rule number 1: Nudity is not required to be sexy or beautiful
Rule number 2: Escorts are always welcome though be warned that I'm not afraid to use them in the shoot if they fit an idea or need.
Rule number 3: The photographer is not always right
Rule number 4: The photographer isn't the only creative person involved in a shot, so feel free to offer ideas and collaborative concepts.

I'm very easy on my release work with models, allowing them rights to use the images anywhere as long as I am credited properly.

I always give a cd/dvd of the full shoot to my models before they leave the shoot and send edits via email or cd (depending on the model's preference) and unless discussed in advance, I put no time limits on my shoots unless we are renting studio space. This means that wardrobe changes happen as often as they need to and changes in make-up take as long as required to fit the change in direction for each set.

I am not here to compete in a popularity contest but I certainly welcome opinions and criticisms.

Be adventurous and don't limit yourself with any ideas you want to present me with. I don't have any limits but I do have a lot of unexplored territory to conquer, so feel free to hit me up with ideas even if they don't seem to fit what you see here.

I started out using film in 1995, but I now shoot entirely in digital. My style has changed a good bit since last I was here, so I'm flexing new muscles. I prefer to work with as little equipment as possible, thus forcing me to rely on improvisation and skill. This helps considering most of the events I shoot don't allow me a lot of set up and I'm doing a lot of roaming. I'm a Louisiana boy without an accent making his way through the social minefields of New England.
