Model Search

Mon Nov 2, 2009, 3:49 PM
Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted a new journal entry. I have been busy, busy, busy, and everyone I talk to seems to be as well. I hope you all got to check out my new website [link] , and I would love to hear any feedback. I love this time of year in Wisconsin; the leaves are incredible colors, and the season brings change to almost eveything. I love the tropical climates, but it's also refreshing to have 4 distinct seasons that the Midwest brings.

I am currently looking for models to work with for some fun nude shoots, as well as some non-nude. If interested, please contact me for further details :)

Speaking of a model search, I am really interested in hearing how you all find your models and encourage you to vote in my poll (my first poll!). Have a good month!

  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Weezer-Raditude
  • Reading: Symposium by Plato (for class)
  • Watching: Man Vs Wild
  • Playing: GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony
  • Eating: pizza (from Pappa Johns)
  • Drinking: hot apple cider

What do you think is the most effective way to get new models for a nude photo shoot?

I was born in Minnesota and moved around the Midwestern United States until I was 18, when I left home for Hollywood. With nothing but a love for the movies and no formal background in acting, I tried to make it in the film industry. With little success, I fell back on print modeling and developed a modest portfolio. After 5 years of limited success, I left LA and returned to the Midwest.
Art has a way of never letting go of it's hold on you and I found myself behind the camera expressing myself, developing style, focus, and developing a portfolio of work that I truly enjoy.
Now at 32, I am currently attending University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, pursuing a Photography Major. I enjoy the kind people and spaciousness of the midwest but miss the the massive cultural diversity that the West Coast offered me.
I particularly am interested in sexuality expressed through art and you'll find it the focus of much of my work. But my first love will always be the movies, and I am often , inspired by them, particularly the noir genre. Thanks for checking me out. ;)
