I love working with unsigned models and independent musicians / bands, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you are in need of a photo shoot.

Networking is key in this business and I’m looking to work with record labels, management companies, modeling agencies, rock bands, and independent musicians.

This guy has gone through so much and God is using him in amazing ways. A model of love if I ever saw one... I'd love to do a photo shoot with this guy!!!)
