I have been an artist for years, and a photographer for only a few. However, I have been drawing and painting for a very long time, so my knowledge of light is better than most with similar time behind a camera. I also benefit from years of figure drawing, so my anatomy and posing skills are more rooted in that base than anything one learns in modeling school. In other words, do NOT expect anything ordinary about what I tend to shoot. I almost always have a solid idea on how I think the finished image should appear before I setup anything. This also means that I tend to take time to plan a few shots for an idea I have in my head. I do not take 400 pictures of people changing poses unless that is what the client wants.

I am very protective of the professionalism of the images I shoot. I want my models to look their best, and the images to always have a goal. I do not shoot images that might cheapen the model or myself. You will never see my images with blurred skin to cover imperfections, as I really appreciate the texture of skin and most issues that need to be resolved are not that hard to do if you simply take time to do them.

I have extremely strong post-production skills from years of photoshop knowledge and experience restoring damaged images. However, I am not a paid retoucher for other photographers (with the exception of a few close friends), so models get the benefit of my photoshop knowledge when they work with me on projects.

Do not ask for photos the day after a shoot. I don't just push them out the door like a commodity or pop them on a CD without perfecting them first, so it will normally take a few days to sort them. I take the time to pick the best shots and then focus on making them everything they can be, so you love to show them off and they always represent you at your best. Once I have photos ready, *then* you will get a password on my website where you can download them for personal use.

I am also very knowledgeable with Corel Painter and other traditional painting media. I am very willing to help others when needed and teach them what I know. I am always willing to share knowledge, be it what I know about photography, lighting, or retouching.

By day I own a large software development company based in Brookfield, WI. We also have a separate division for politicians and websites used for campaigns, which is where I do most of my photography. I will also do websites for barter or for close friends (or at least offer advice/shoulder to cry on if needed).

Ok... when I upload, the upload button says it's pending, and stays that way. When I go to another spot on the site I come back and the pic has not uploaded.. I'm at 137 kb, 950 x 633. Does that help?

Hey Scott! Are we only able to upload one pic at a time? My one pic keeps telling me it's waiting for approval. hmmm

Thank you for the offer, you have my interest and attention. I have some new product for spring/summer I would like to test out. Going to be scheduling another photo shoot here very soon, not exactly sure who with respects to photogs & mods as of yet, but I've been shopping. In reply to your comment we are interested in Cam of which we/I expressed that to her as well. Would like to discuss in more detail with you if you have the time.

We just signed up Pooghe on this network so I'm a little new on how it works.

Best,

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the comment on my photo. I didn't end up being able to make it to the Heavy Metal shoot. I did a shoot yesterday in Chicago with BLM and I think I may have strained a muscle in my back in the process. The shoot was great and a ton of fun, but my back is still killing me. If it is still bad tomorrow, I may go see a doctor. Hope I get a chance to work with you sometime!

That's a killer idea for sure! (The before & after with mouse hover)

Is that something you can / would do from the website end of it? (Like with coding?)

If you want to give it a try let me know & I can upload (or send) 2 separate photos.

Thanks for the friend request too. I checked out your port, & was blown away with your work!
