Being nice is not weakness, but a strength. Hire me and you will get the worth of your money, guaranteed. My rates are reasonable and if you're serious about your craft, then stop fooling around and give me a call. If for any reason I do not meet your objectives 100% you will get 100% refund. No questions asked. Please check my references before you decide to contact me.
When you work with me on a TF* (most likely when I contact you) you'll get an opportunity to work with a team of artists passionate about their craft. We do not believe in mass production imagery. Understand that there is difference between taking a picture and making a picture. Every picture we make requires time to conceive, find clothes and props, work on posing, and post production. Needless to say, it is a long and intensive process. Give us enough time (3-4 weeks) to prepare. During the preparation time stay in touch and communicate promptly. When everything is done, you will receive a DVD with all images in full resolution within one week. No excuses, no BS. Again, check with the people I've worked and let them tell you.
Lately I've been bombarded with TF* inquires from new models. Due to busy commercial schedule I have to be very selective about non-paid assignments. Here are a few tips to increase your chances to work with me on a TF*:
• Come with an idea/concept/theme - try to be interesting. Themes I am currently interested: Vogue, Vanity Fair types of fashion imagery. Elaborative clothes (think: gowns), big hair - (think:creative), David LaChapelle style edgy glamour
• Understand TF* means trade - you get something and I get something. In most cases members of the team such as MUAs and hair stylists get something too.
• Since you're not paying my team, bring your own: have a GOOD team of MUA, hair stylist and *very important* fashion stylist. Optionally, pay my team - I'll still shoot ya.
• Be willing to work around my schedule
• Be a good MM citizen - respond to your messages within 24 hours
I check my MM messages daily and try to respond within 24 hours. I expect the same from you. I don't care if you're top model or God's daughter, no communication - no shoot.

• About me
------------------------------------------------------------
Washington, DC photographer specializing in fashion, portraiture and editorial photography. I’ve been shooting for 10 years and started focusing on fashion for the past few years. I’m looking to shoot images that would look like VOGUE/Vanity Fair style of fashion shoots. In these type of settings models are generally prepared with very creative and sometimes elaborate make-ups. Ability to act and improvise during the shoot is also an integral part of the success.
• Copyright and Control of Images
------------------------------------------------------------
I retain the copyright to all images. This is a non-negotiable item. If the model pays for the shoot, they will receive an unlimited use license specific to the intended use of the images. Copyright can be released to the model at significant additional cost.
• Availability and Contact
------------------------------------------------------------
I am available to shoot weekday evenings after 6 PM and weekends. I am very detail oriented and try to be punctual for my assignments. I also understand that we live in a metropolitan area and that sometimes causes delays in traffic. In those situations, please let me know ahead of time.
