Interested in modeling? Looking to add some images to your portfolio? Want to document your piercings or tattoos? Thinking of an interesting portrait or even an artistic nude? I am almost always looking for models.

I have started a modeling photography network site www.bodynsoulmodels.com and am frequently posting casting calls there for some of my jobs. Make sure you join too, so you can always know of the most recent jobs and projects I am involved in!

Here’s some information to hopefully answer the more frequent questions:

Glamour/fashion/headshot/portrait work

My style for these images can vary a far amount, from airbrushed and soft focus to gritty realism. I classify myself as a glamour or fashion photographer, since I think I am most interested in those styles currently, and editing abilities in those areas are quite well developed.

TFP/TFCD
TFP/TFCD means time-for-prints, or time-for-CD — some photographers, myself included, like to work in trade with a model if possible. I currently have TFP/TFCD times available, and I do my best to make myself available to models interested in my work. I usually try to do one TFP/TFCD session a week. Generally, I offer free copies digital images for web-portfolio use, and the option to purchase prints at a discount.

All TFP models are required to sign a model release as listed on the bottom of this page in the attachemnts

Also, if I ask you it can be TFP, if you ask me I am hired, and my normal rates count

More about TFP can be found (from a modeling perspective) here and (from a photographers perspective) here

What am I looking for?

• I am currently just looking for female models. I am not strictly looking for the stereotypical model physique, though.
• For some of the projects, I am interested in models comfortable with artistic nudity. I am not interested in shooting porn or explicit images.
• A recent photo should be sent (or link provided to one) with your initial modeling inquiry.
• You must be 21 years old, able to prove it, and willing to sign a model release.
• Models are quite welcome to bring a chaperon to the shoot.
• Tattoos and piercings are fine (and welcomed in many cases).
• I shoot images mainly for my own portfolio, but it’s possible the images may be used for other purposes or appear in other media (gallery shows, submissions to photography magazines, etc.)
• An interesting wardrobe is a helpful plus, especially items like corsets, fishnets, etc.
• I have a relaxed, fun, but professional attitude, and look for models with the same.

What do you get back?

• Digital images will be provided in exchange for your time.
• I make a preview gallery available, and then the model can select a 5 images they like best, and I process those images first so they can be available as quickly as possible.
• Models are free to use those images for their own websites, portfolios, etc.
• Prints can be purchased at a discounted price (models pay just half my regular print price).
• A CD of the digital images can be provided upon request.
• Currently my projects are just intended for showcasing on my site, but I’d love to be able to put together a gallery show or publication in the future.

Please contact me for more details if interested.

I am also available on a for-hire basis if you have some something specific in mind but are not interested in modeling for my ongoing projects. See my Rates here
