I’m looking for people like that again. I’ve got some projects I’m wanting to work on in the coming months, but I don’t want to work with models. At the risk of sounding cliché, I want “real” people. I don’t care if you see yourself as too skinny, too pudgy, too ‘soft’, plus-size, ‘mom-bod’, etc. I want the imperfections that make you perfect! Those people who say “I would have done this when I was younger, but I just don’t have the body for it anymore…” - I want you! Maybe you’ve never modeled before. Or maybe you have, but many years ago, or before having children. You might even have a body you’re proud of, something you’ve worked hard for, and want a chance to show it off! No matter the reason - if you’re willing to take a chance, I would love to work with you!

The photo styles I’m looking to work on may range from ‘full artistic nude’, to ‘implied nude’ (nude, but covered or posed so that nothing is exposed), and if desired, any/all poses can be done ‘anonymously’, where your identity is never disclosed, and your photos are posed in such a way that your face and any identifying features are always hidden from view. The type of photos taken will be fully dependent on your comfort level! Identifying markings, such as birthmarks, scars, tattoos, piercings, etc. can be digitally removed or altered if you’d like. (click here to see other examples of possible editing). Regardless of the style, all photos will be artistic and tasteful in nature.

Now, let’s talk safety and comfort. First, while it’s not required, I highly encourage anyone to bring an escort with them to any shoot. You want it to be someone you feel safe with, but also someone who supports and encourages you. Someone who makes you laugh. We want your experience to be a fun one! Second, my wife, Abby (a brilliant photographer in her own right!) will also be at the shoot to assist. We work as a team. Our goal is to make your shoot as comfortable as possible!

A little about me - I am a published photographer who has been shooting artistic nudes for 20+ years. I’ve been privileged to have my work shown in galleries here in the US, as well as Britain, and parts of Europe. I’ve had my work showcased on multiple art websites and magazines, and have even been lucky enough to win a few awards along the way. I will go out of my way to ensure you are treated with the professionalism, respect, and courtesy you deserve - before, during, and after the shoot. Your shoot will be done with the utmost privacy and your identity will never be disclosed without your express permission. Any photos of you will be used in legitimate professional portfolios - not just splattered across the internet. Any photos posted on social media will be discussed with you ahead of time, and always posted with privacy in mind. And of course, you will receive copies of all finished photos, which you can use however you see fit.

So, whether you are new to this or have worked with me before, if you or someone you know are interested in setting up a shoot, or have any questions, please contact myself or Abby directly, or via:

I look forward to working with you!

Below are some examples of the types of photos I am looking to shoot. These are from previous shoots over the years.
