It aint bragging motherfucker if you back it up

About Me

I am a photographer, illustrator, graphic and web designer.
I tend to work with alternative models, piercings, tattoos, and crazy hair are always fun but not absolutely necessary as long as we have a rapport. I really prefer to work with people who are adventurous creatively and take a more collaborative approach.
Most recently I moved from the Boston area to Manchester, NH and am working with Professional Vehicle Photography (PVP) and its sister company The Studio of the Photographic Arts (SOPHA).
Very select TFP. I have an extensive portfolio and a backlog of editing so paid shoots take priority.
I am available for portfolio development shoots for models and am pretty versatile. I can do fashion, straight glamor, alternative fashion and glam, head shots, nude glam, website content (no SG) etc.
My rates are low and though I know most models can get TFP or paid shoots, I am full time photographer and need to pay the studio rent. I also guarantee I will get the shot, actually I will get a bunch or you don't pay.
You can see my work at Model Mayhem , Deviant Art or on my site, www.dastardlydave.com .

Music
I'm a little all over the place when it comes to music. I was banging my head when most of your dads were still banging your moms. I grew up with Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Rush, Kiss and all the origional metal bands. Got a bit put off with the whole glam metal sickness but still managed to find some cool stuff to listen to like Dokken, Queensryche. In the late eighties, early nineties thank god for Metallica, Testament, Flotsam and Jetsam, Anthrax, Slayer and the emergence of speed metal etc. Got into the grunge stuff a bit although never Nirvana to the exclusion of all else. There are a lot of other bands like Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam and the Smashing Pumpkins that resonated much more. Now I listen to stuff all over the spectrum. I love the Foo Fighters, Social Distortion, NIN, but also get in to Dead Can Dance, Enigma, some trip hop, jazz, blues, bluegrass(yes, I said bluegrass), old school country (Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash), classical, reggae and even some folk.

Television
I have been a sucker for all the motorcycle and tattoo shows on discovery and TLC lately although my favorite is build or bust which is on the Speed Network. I watch any thing on the History Channel. I like Lost, The Daily Show, Rome, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Masters of Horror

Movies
The Lord of the Rimgs, Kingdom of Heaven, Troy,

Heroes
Frank Frazetta, Leonardo DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Herionemous Bosch

Books
