I have been modeling on and off for a few years now. This is not my career, I do work full time so my shooting schedule is on the weekends only, unless you are close enough and I can shoot on a weeknight.
I am very laid back and love to have as much fun on a shoot as possible. I like to establish relationships prior to shooting. It makes the shoot more comfortable and enjoyable for all parties.
I do not like Maxim style photography or glamour photography. It does not reflect me or my personality. I like to help create art. Images that say something, scream something, make you stop, make you interpret or convey emotion. Themes, time periods, abandonments, anything that means something. I love to do work showcasing my disabilities or the things that would normally hold me back. Recently, many photographers have suggested doing shoots focused on my disability in various different ways. I think using something that I used to think was a hindrance as an asset is a fantastic way to inspire people.
I want to inspire. I want to be inspired. I want to energize. I want to excite. I want to incite. I want to awaken. I want to provoke. I want to push the envelope. I want to go as far as we can. I want to do things I never thought I could do. I want to DO something IMPORTANT.
I want to help. I enjoy helping people build their portfolios, in gratifying meaningful ways.
