Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.

About Me

If you like my work leave a comment...
If you like a photo, tell me...
If you want to work with me, send me a message...
This is not so much a portfolio as it is a place to see some of my work. There is no recurring theme, just a sampling.
I DO NOT pay models unless I am casting for a paid assignment. Also, if you want a real MUA, that costs money along with all of the crazy assortments of pretty stuff they will adorn your face with.
Models: Please remember that a trade is not you just showing up. Time and effort goes into this from both sides of the lens and people do need to be compensated for their time. I am willing to do TFCD if you have a look that suits a need for me or if we have worked well together in the past.

Not trying to come off like a prick, but lenses, cameras, prints, stands, lights, gels among others are not cheap.(Okay, so maybe that did come off as prick-ish.)
All of that being said, I am always up for a project that is worthy of time investment from all parties involved so don't hesitate to approach me with your ideas.
"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it... because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die... but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."
- Chuck Palahniuk
