1. During my undergrad senior year, I chose for my photography series artistic nudes.
I had previous worked with a female classmate of mine in a PG-capacity & tried to recruit her but no joy. However in this failure, she pointed a couple of her sorority sisters in my direction. & we were off to the races.
This here is, well, an anonymous raven-haired girl. I don't think she'd care if she's identified but am respecting her wishes given at the time.
We shot at my sister's place who also lived in the area. She hated the entire series because, I guess, all she could see was the gaudy orange couch. Yet when I presented them for critique, it was met with overwhelming approval. Familiarity of that couch breeds contempt, I guess.
Later that year, the model put me on the phone with her mother where I was met w/ a flurry of compliments. "I've never seen my daughter look so beautiful in such a tasteful manner.". Getting the mom-seal-of-approval definitely ranks up there in my career highlights reel.
There's more to this story but think I'll save it for another time.
2. I'm currently selling my work. If anything particular shot, any model, or any set interests you, please email me here. Just tell me what interests you & I'll see what I can do. I try to work within people's budgets but I'm also not going to like give them away for pennies on the US dollar.
