    About Me
    I have been working professionally in photography for over 30 years now, and have a personal portfolio that spans commercial, architectural, nature, figurative, portrait and, of course, modeling (which is why we're all here!).


    I started out in LA California got tired of the CA-BS and moved to Oregon a few years ago. We decided to make our home in Eugene because I enjoyed the green, the people, and the city of Eugene, and while it's a bit of a drive from the modeling hub of Portland, it does place us centrally in Oregon to serve all of the state for all photographic needs.

    I love working with models doing the portfolio expansion / development side of things and assisting them in getting started in the industry. While it is true that you don't need professional photos to get into the business, the adage about "You only get one chance to make a good first impression" certainly applies in this industry.

    Studio and Staff
    We opened our studio here in August of 2006, and had moved from our previous location in Grants Pass because we wanted to be a part of a larger art-based community in which we could participate. We just moved again this August from this location to a newer and larger studio here in Eugene..

    We hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism, and continue to extend our knowledge and creativity with memberships in The Professional Photographers of America (www.ppa.com), The professional Photographers of Oregon (www.pporegon.com) The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (www.photoshopuser.com), and through participation in the annual Angel Awards Program (www.angelawards.com). We are extending our experience and creativity by active participation in these organizations to provide our clients with the most creative, professional and knowledgeable staff possible.

    Our NEW full service studio in West Eugene is operated by my wife and I along with April Brecto, our assistant. On site staff almost always includes a MUA/HS and occasionally a wardrobe stylist, depending on the clients needs.

    What we do
    We get a ton of traditional (as in portraits for families and seniors) and exciting work (as in modeling sessions, product shoots, advertising work, etc) here, but occasionally I look for models with a particular "look" that works with a photo that I want to do. As it also sometimes happens, a customer wants to have a model in a product session but doesn't have a model in mind, and we can refer someone that we have worked with. When a client is involved, it is always assumed that you will be getting paid for your time.

    We do some TFP/CD work, as we like keeping busy, and if the schedule permits it, we will accept models wanting TFP/CD sessions. We prefer to keep a MUA/HS at all sessions unless we are just doing test shots. If we aren't shooting for portfolio-quality work, we're just wasting each others' time.[ If you want a specific MUA/HS, and they aren't willing to work with you on a TFP/CD basis, it is assumed that you will be paying for the MUA/HS of your choice. if we have requested you to come in for a TF* session, we will provide the MUA/HS and will probably have some specific ideas in mind for our portfolios that we will want to have as a part of that session, but we will include as many of your/our ideas as time permits.

    TF Work is extremely limited currently. We're only doing TF* work for exceptional models that we feel will benefit our mutual portfolios, but right now most of our time is devoted to the folks that pay our bills :-) We are ALWAYS open to talk about scheduling a time for TF*, but please keep in mind that IF we agree to a TF* gig with you, you might have to be rescheduled if a client needs to book that time. It's NOT personal, OK? I'll consider all requests but really-- your only guarantee of booking a shoot with us is to book a paid shoot through here, our website or via phone.



    I always have more ideas than I have time to do them (and sometimes the money to do them....some of my ideas are QUITE expensive concepts LOL!), so I'm certain that between us there will be some awesome stuff. I love to discuss the creative ideas with you and plan our sessions in advance of the day of the shoot. While we do have a significant number of props and some costuming, it is always a good idea to discuss the wardrobe, set, makeup, and overall concept to be certain that we have all the bases covered. I also need time to acquire props that we might need for a specific look, period, of action sequence.... So earlier is better, and please be patient if delays caused by getting all the pieces together push back our dates. I want it to be perfect, and I hope that you do too.

    Rates:

    Our rates are reasonable for both commercial and modeling photography. Please inquire directly, as we have special rates for OMP members. For our standard rates (for comparison, I guess) you can hit our studio website and all our prices are listed.


    Commercial Clients
    Our studio has nearly 2000 Square feet of space and features a 12' x 15' roll-up door for access with larger pieces, Autos, Motorcycles, and large set construction. The studio also has a vertical clearance of 20'. We have access to a food stylist for food advertisements and promotion, and we have a few different wardrobe stylists for catalog and print work. Upon request, we can also provide 220 volt power or Natural Gas if needed for a shoot.
    The space features two set areas; one set area with controllable natural light, an antique-looking used brick wall, and a variety of background options (paper, fabric, painted, etc). THe other is just blank wall area with background hangers for paper or plastic backgrounds (108") or scaffold-mounted 12' plastic rolls.

    We have a secure dressing room, a dedicated make-up area, and a sink and prep area


    Appointment lead time and Schedule
    Currently, we are booking about 3 -4 weeks out. Some latitude is possible with reschedules, where possible.


    Have current images on another modeling site Here and also on our studio website.




    ** Notice***
    For the record, I NEVER ask anyone to do nudes. I show them as part of the portfolio, and those folks that want to do them ask for that style of image, and the ones that I show on the web are only the ones that have signed releases for that purpose. People often do images for personal reasons, and they aren't a part of either their portfolio or mine. I respect your limits, boundaries, and privacy, period. We NEVER photograph anyone under the age of 18 in situations involving any kind of nudity.

    So hopefully, we will be talking to some of you soon, and even more important, seeing the great images that we will produce together!

    You can always call the studio for more information: (541) 344-1005 and if you are located outside of the 541 calling area, call us toll free at: (800) 441-3041.

    For those friends located in Europe, we have a UK number 020-8090-4239 (London). Sorry, we couldn't accommodate ALL the countries, but at least it's a bit less expensive that a call to the U.S. if you are located in Europe

    We look forward to hearing from you!
