Chris the Photographer 2008

I am here for Networking

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Location: Detroit, U.S.A.

Since I always get asked...if you have no modeling experience and want to try it out. I will do a TFP shoot with local (Sterling Heights area) models. Meaning I work for free, you work for free, and then you get the photos I take to build a portfolio. It's a great place to start. I will only do these outdoors and clothed. So a nice park, water, statue shoot. It's a good starting point.

I specialize in stock photography. It is almost the “PBS” of photography. But it has to be done and there is a large audience. Stock photography consists of existing photographs that can be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, advertising agencies, graphic artists, and others use stock photography to fulfill the needs of their creative assignments.

I also specialize in Photoshopped photos. Not just the easy stuff. I can knock out backgrounds, change colors, add effects, change looks, etc. I have worked on photos over 10 hours to get the look I need. I have some small examples in the Photos section above.

If you have experience, I do many paid jobs. Pay varies based on experience, location and shoot. I am sort of picky. But I encourage everyone to e-mail me, add me and tell me about yourself. Also, check out my blogs for upcoming shoot info.

I do not do nudes or semi-nudes.

I can provide references, if needed. I always like to meet people in a public setting. I shoot in public setting. So you won't be meeting me inside, unless it's a very public place. That is for everyone's safety.
