General Information
I'm a published Freelance Photographer, who has a laid back, but professional work ethic. I photograph just about everything that I would consider to be tasteful with the exception of Weddings. No offense intended to the Wedding Photographer's out there...it's just not my thing. :) If you are looking for a specific type of image that you don't see on here, please let me know and I'm sure that I could dig something up that is in the style that you are interested in to show you. Thanks! Besides photography I also do Layouts, Comps, Digital Manipulations, Digital touchups, and Abstract Art. I shoot with mainly all pro-digital cameras, but I do still do some shooting with traditional cameras. With traditional cameras I shoot slides/transperencies, negative film and some specialty films such as HIE (B/W Infrared), and EIR (Color Infrared). Depending on the clients needs and the intended use of the images I will shoot with small, medium, large, and pro-digital format cameras. From time to time I will shoot limited TFP/TFCD/TFT work with select models, and for projects that interest me. Please feel free to inquire, or send me your ideas for a project that you think that I might be interested in working with you on. I'm a true believer of quality over quantity, so if you are someone I agree to work with on some sort of TFP/TFCD/TFT basis or other arrangement...it'll most likely won't include large quantities of images (But will include the type and quality of images that will get you noticed and lead to more paying jobs). If you are paying client, I'll obviously do whatever I am paid to do and I always try to exceed any expectations that the client may have while doing them at reasonable prices. I enjoy collaborating on ideas with the models I work with, but have no problem with directing a shoot completely if needed. I love shooting all types of work, but truly love creating images that are out of the ordinary, whether that be something artistic, glamorous, edgy, dramatic, or just plain different. Please note that although I do shoot almost all areas of modeling (As long as it is tastefully done), I will never ask anyone to shoot anything that they aren't completely comfortable with...it's just not my style of operating. I hate having to put this here, but please don't contact me asking me if I would like to pay you to work with me, as I won't be contacting you asking you if you would like to pay me to shoot you. Thanks! Any paying jobs that I have will go to models that I have previously worked with who I know will be reliable and professional at all times. If I do happen to have a job that either a client or myself is looking for a fresh face for or someone with a different look than I have worked with before, than I will either post a casting call, or contact a model either through an agency, or online that I have found that I feel will best fulfill the job specifications for my client or myself. Thanks! I want to take a second to thank my parents, family, friends and all of the people in my life who have supported me in my crazy career. I also want to send out a special thank you to the OMP staff who without I would have never made some of the incredible contacts that I have in this industry; to Jan one of my college professors who always encouraged me to shoot what I was passionate about instead of what might have been expected out of me; and of course lets not forget, to all of the great photographer's I have met or who have continually inspired me to strive to improve my craft and to the all the incredible model's that have worked with who have helped bring some of my goofy ideas and visions to life...and who make me look better then I am. Thanks again!!! :) I do try to reply to all of the acknowledgments that I get, but I just wanted to take a second to thank all of you who have given me an acknowledgment whether it be a "public," or "private," acknowledgment just in case I missed you or don't know who you are. I do truly appreciate your interest in my work!!! :) Some of my older images are of a lower resolution to help speed up the down load time. I assure you that the originals are all of the highest quality possible, whether digital originals, digital manipulations, negatives, transparencies, or prints. To clear up any confusion one may have I don't manage any models...I do have model's linked to me from time to time, and that is only as their main photographer, nothing else. Unfortunately it is hard to tell sometimes whether a photographer is linked to a model as a photographer, manager, or agent since they are all grouped together. Typically you can tell, if the model has a booking agent email listed (That is for manager's and agencies) All of the model linked to me answer and reply to their own emails, so for those who have contacted me about trying to set up a shoot with a particular model that is linked to me, you should contact them directly not me. Thanks. I do try to help everyone that I work in anyway that I can, and I even try to help many that I haven't or most likely won't ever work with, but once again I make my living as a photographer and don't have the time to be anyone's manager or agent, nor would I want too. I appreciate the interest, but your best bet is to find a reputable lisenced/bonded agency in your area to deal with. If you are wondering what a few might be, feel free to email me and I can send you a list of any that I know of in your area. Thanks. If you got all the way down to this, thanks for reading my info, and checking out my page...I hope that you enjoy what you see and I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. :) Thanks and take care! ~Dave (Burdick Imaging) Note: Please allow page to load completely before clicking on any of the photographs (clicking stops the loading process).
