You can absolutely make money shooting part time, might even be the best way to do it.
Yes in Hawaii one time it rained in the middle of an outdoor shoot and ruined three lights, several battery power pack and a light meter.
This was all the light I had with me on location and on the island. Can you say break out the reflectors? The job must go on!
Some girls have it naturally, some have to be taught and sorry to say there are people that simply are not photogenic.
Also I don’t care how good a photographer you are there are people you can’t make stunning images of… you can make great images of that individual. But let’s be honest those images will not stand up against images of a beautiful, skilled, experienced model.
I know that is not going to be politically correct but I am just being honest in my opinion.
Yes I remember my first ( paid ) nude shoot!
I was 18 and she was a fashion model, and she wanted to make some extra money and had submitted to penthouse. She was accepted and came to me to shoot it for her. I was happy to do so.
No at that time I was doing it as a favor and really was focused on being a fashion photographer.
Hey your trying to get me in trouble here!
Of course I have models that you turn to when you know you have a hard job or that you need a particular look and feel from.
Diana Kauffman is one of those, when I need someone to play a character she is the girl, she is an actress and does great work.
If you need a model to be peel the paint of the walls sexy then Aria is a consistent winner.
Need a exotic, soft, intense, sexy, young look than no better than Launa Lani.
Lots of the models I work with have that it factor… I am very blessed to work some of the best models in the world.
Chicago Workshop
Are you frustrated with your stale lighting? Are you feeling like you are no longer creative? Do you get totally tongue tied when a beautiful Model steps in front of your camera? And oh my god, it’s even worse when she’s nude!
I am looking for 10 people that are willing take two days and step so far out of the box that we can burn the damn box. Do you want to learn? I mean really learn? Fill your head so full of info that it’s running out your ears?
Are you willing to be the first to try a whole new way of learning to shoot beautiful women? I promise this will be the most interesting amazing two days so far in your photography adventure. I have been working on a new method to teach creativity, model relations, and lighting. This is a new and radical approach that I think will really help you make leaps and bounds in your photography.
I do want to be clear that this workshop in concept is a learning workshop, not a shooting workshop. I have booked two top models for this workshop who are great at both teaching and modeling. They are very sought after and very experienced, they are Luana Lani and Aria Giovanni. With these two models, not only will you have the chance to learn from them but you will also get stunning images.
The price of the workshop includes one month FREE of my new mentoring program and my DVD the Fundamentals of Lighting. The mentoring program gives you the follow up that is so lacking in workshops and the chance to resolve all the questions you will inevitability have afterwards.
The DVD will be sent to you as soon as you register, so you have time to watch and digest before the workshop, and so that everyone is on the same page with a lot of the basic concepts.
I think this will be the best workshop I have ever taught. This will be an intense, powerful learning session.

I have not looked recently, but I normally hit over a hundred thousand on a body. Yes I carry a back up body at all times. i don’t carry back up lens because I have enough over lap that I can get by if one fails.
I know of photographers that have, models talk… heard of Twitter, FB? I have seen reputations ruined in a matter of hours.
I would not say its often but believe me the models share info about jerks.
Most do but not all.
LoL I don’t know of an anti viagra, except that if you approach your work with a serious attitude and professionalism things seem to take care of itself.
Plus I have so much on my mind with lighting, posing, clothes, makeup and everything that getting aroused is the last thing on my mind.
