     General Information 
    Currently unavailable/working overseas, looking forward to returning to the USA and Lexington area for eight weeks in Summer 2009. Would like to make arrangements with about three inspiring models, beyond the three "returning favorites" that I've already lined up. This may be my LAST summer in the USA for about three years, so if you'd like a chance to be included in my work, please DO get in touch!

    About me and my work:

    Hi, I'm Thorne. I shoot models for my art, for their own benefit, and for research into groundbreaking digital techniques for producing extraordinary large format prints. (It's pretty easy to make a girl look good in a small photograph, but I do it at two feet tall, suitable for framing.) Have an informal studio in my Lexington flat, in a vibrant downtown area with many different settings to exploit.

    The important categories below are Artistic and Fine Art - these represent my largest and most-labored prints (usually about 10-20 hours to develop apiece). As you can see, these works aren't so much "about" the subject as "star" the model. (I.e., I wouldn't at all call myself "a portrait artist.") Not at all interested in "reducing" a subject to an object or merely a pretty girl (though I've done some portfolio work, represented below in the non-art categories). Rather, my works mean to feature models as avatars for the human condition.

    As such, it's the FACE that speaks to me and inspires me. "Naughty bits" unfortunately have no place in my work - they're too distracting - though open to implied nudes and bare bottoms from time to time. (The bare HIP is "an unexploited sexy" that really intrigues me.) It's not any priority for me, however. It's all about expressions.

    In particular, younger/less experienced models may have the most to gain from working with me. Everyone that's worked with me has appreciated my command of a shoot in a spontaneous and free-form way, and I can teach a girl new posture and expression strategies that will benefit her in future shoots.

    Neither pay nor take pay (though do sometimes cover travel expenses). Do TFCD of about 500 shots as the initial/basic arrangement, and will forward other finished photography as it comes along. I do, however, work rather slowly on the latter. (Unfortunate but true.) However, usually quite committed to making sure everyone feels they've benefit from the exercise. Have gotten better at some rush jobs for portfolios.

    So, short answer, if you've got a pretty face and form, maybe want some valuable experience, and would like to be included in works like those in the art categories below, please do get in touch. We've only got a narrow window this summer so we should make the most of it.
