Accepting freelance, contract, and permanent positions.

I am available for creative portrait, fashion editorial, and event photography, both on location and in studio.
At this time, I am also happy to offer my services as an assistant. I am able to do double or even triple duty as a stylist and/or make-up artist.

My primary interests are erotic, fetish, artistic nude and pornographic nude photography. My secondary interests include fashion and/or product photography for handmade artisans and self made designers. Tertiary interests would include headshots for authors or model portfolios, event, and band photography. At this time, offers outside the interests listed will gladly be considered, but may be declined.

All of my images, protected by US copyright, are for sale for commercial use. Occasionally I also release images under a creative commons license. Please feel free to contact me for licensing rates and information.

I am also available for professional photo retouching, graphic design, and web development.

All rates, while competitive, are certainly negotiable, and I do love bartering. If you feel you have something I might be interested in trading for, definitely let me know. I can always use more camera equipment, print services, props, antique photographs, clothing, accessories, taxidermied things, various curios, women's US sz 8 shoes, etc. You just never know what I might have a use for.
