About Me:

Click BlumPhotography.com for website.I have always had a fascination with the camera from both ends. About 5 years ago I started modeling and acting, and to make a long story short, it just wasn't me. I have always carried a camera with me wherever I went. A few years ago, my interest piqued and I invested in a quality camera and have been hooked ever since. Now that I am behind the camera, I feel as though I am on a long and great journey of discovery in the world of photography. I am self taught, but I think my experience as a model really helped me connect with and respect the models that I am shooting, as well as helped give me an eye for great photos. The photographers I most admire are Herb Ritts with his classic black and white styling and David LaChapelle, for his wildly imaginative and vibrant photographic style. My goal as a fashion/glamour photographer is to provide clean photographs with an edge and to get the most out of my subjects whether they be models or entertainers.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Any advice for models or those considering it?A: Surely. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Also, when shooting with a photographer, ask for references and make sure you like a majority of their work, not just one or two pictures. Thirdly, to those interested in doing Playboy...don't be bitten by the Playboy bug...meaning if someone asks you to "test shoot" for the magazine, ASK PLAYBOY! There are many people waiting to take advantage of clueless starting models. Knowledge is power ;)Q: Will you shoot me for free?A: lol....Nope. I get tons of requests for TFP and TFCD shoots. Due to my hectic schedule, TFP shoots are reserved for celebs, models for specific ideas I have, and models with LARGE followings. All others will pay.....but aren't I worth it? ;)Q: Do you travel?A: I'm always open to travel for an assignment given that the airfare, hotel, and transportation are covered.Q: Do you offer payment plans?A: Sure do. Half of the total price is due as a nonrefundable deposit prior to shooting to ensure you don't "no show". The other half is preferred upon arrival for the shoot unless you and I have discussed other arrangements such as monthly payments, etc. NOW ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS!Article in BIKINI GREATS Magazine ;)ENVY Cover (October 2006)First pic ever in FHM Clients include, but not limited to...Celebrity:-Tommy Lee-Jessica Simpson-Cast of PRISON BREAK-Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine of JACKASS-LANDON's album "One Woman Army"Magazines:-ESQUIRE (Turkey) June 2007-ENVY-MAXIM (Various countries)-FHM (Various countries)Commercial:-106.1 KISS FM-92.5 LONESTAR FM-BOOKOO Energy Drink-107.5 MOVIN' FM-and more...-PLAYBOY Models : Shawn Hektor, Davin Lexen, Brandie Moses, Sheena Lee, Brittany Lantz, Sloan Swallow, and many more FAN ART/PICS
