Modeling is about being the woman that other women want to be, and the woman that men want to see. For a model, that means using your looks and how you carry yourself (pose, facial expressions). For a photographer, that means knowing what to ask, how to coach the model, and how to compose the photo (lighting, camera angle.)
With the right model and photographer, the process is fun and productive.
I'm a professionally trained photographer with a 4-year photo degree. My photography involves nudity similar to Playboy- if you are not open to that please don't contact me about a modeling job.... Otherwise if you think you would be a good model for me please drop me a line.
What the Photos Are Used For
I work with several microstock agencies who market my photos for publication. I also try to get the photos published in print and online magazines, forums, etc. This is a sideline for me and I make no guarantee that your images will be published, but you will be paid up front. The main benefit of marketing my work through microstock is the professional feedback I get and seeing which images sell the best.
I don't do private photos. If you want photos that only your boyfriend will see, I'm not your photographer. I work with models who want to be seen.
Compensation to Models
Compensation is in cash the day of the shoot and a CD with 100's of photos in a few days. Occasionally I allow models to keep wardrobe items. I pay depending on the model's skill & look and the job; typical pay is $20-$30 per hour (Around $80-$125 per shoot).
Who I Hire to Model
I hire female models, ages 18-26, in Charleston SC. Modeling jobs are awarded based on looks. It’s not fair, but it’s not supposed to be fair. The women I photograph look like the ones in men's magazines; you know the type. They range from girl next door, to the hottie, but they all look great and know it. If you meet the following you almost certainly qualify for a look:
* Slim or athletic build
* natural B/C/D bust
* Dress Size 4 or smaller
* Good skin
* Slim or athletic build
* Wow factor (I need to say "wow" when I see your photo)
Who I Do TFCD with
Don't fit the above? Ask me. Worst case, I say no.
Booking Shoots
I will need to see two unretouched photos: One face shot, one body. I need to know if you have any tattoos, piercings, scars, blemishes, tan lines, or if you have changed your hair or anything else that would cause you not to look like your application photos. I will eventually need your phone number in order to confirm the shoot.
New Models
I've worked with experienced models, plus plenty of young women who've never done edgy stuff before and all have been very happy with the results. I use creative camera angles, editing and prop position. I like to try new ideas and work best with models who like to experiment. I'm very selective about what shots I use, and use only the best results. I will shoot stuff for you (the model) in addition the poses that I want for my work in most cases.
Background
I photograph with a high-end pro digital camera and studio lighting equipment. The furnishings of my home studio may not be impressive, but only what the lens can see matters to me! I have produced my personal artwork as well as commercially viable images. I have traveled to dozens of countries, and a Masters degree. I work with a few dozen new models a year; 19 years' model photography experience. I combine archive images from countries I've visited with studio shots of models.
Contacting me
I get some random contact. I will ask you for a phone number to confirm your sincerity. Also I'm located in Charleston SC so I hire models that are local.
