Ready to
shoot indoors but need places to go
I now have a two-flash, two-umbrella lighting setup. I want to concentrate
on indoor shoots while at the same time doing great things with this highly
portable setup outdoors.
My dilemma is lack of studio for various reasons. Even if I had a place for
one, I fear that having a makeshift studio is perhaps worse than none at
all, and that everyone would be better off utilizing alterative locations.
TFCD only.
I am currently not paying models, nor will I ask models to pay me. I am not
able to pre-commit funds for MUA's, studio rentals, long trips, etc.
I do believe that I am generous as far as TFCD, offering models location
previews, image approval and selection, 15 to 30 finished images typically,
and fast turnaround.
I have been shooting models since May 2005. I am continually evolving in my
craft. Current areas of growth are advanced post-processing techniques such
as skin smoothing, advanced lighting with off-camera and multiple flash, and
more effective model directing. Models that shot with me or considered it
earlier on are invited back for an even better experience.
I put forth considerable effort to scout outdoor locations and provide
online previews for them. I prefer low-stress places that look "bad ass" in
the images but are safe in real life. Given this, I mostly shoot in rural
and suburban locations. Refer to my site's locations and concepts link for
details and sample images.
I have begun shooting indoor locations as well, although I have no immediate
plans for a formal studio. Therefore, all indoor shoots must be at an
arranged location.
Availability
Availability to shoot and process images is dictated by my day job workload,
out-of-town business trips, and other photography commitments.
A typical outdoor shoot entails the period from nearly full sun to nearly
full darkness. We would begin with available light and transition to
off-camera flash and umbrellas as darkness sets in. In June/July, this would
be from 6:00 to 8:30 PM.
Typical June/July availability is 6:00 PM Monday - Thursday, 3:00 PM Friday,
and any time on weekends.

A final thought concerning "Stanley", a fictional character in this 1960's Peace Corps PSA. He achieved material success and did what everyone asked of him, but lived a life that was somehow unfulfilled. Photography is my way of assuring that I do indeed "make a few waves" and "rock a few boats" in my life.
