2020 Photography Projects
For 2020, I'm focusing primarily on fine art nudes in nature, secondarily on erotic art (not necessarily at the same time). I’m also available to help create content for Patreon or OnlyFans in trade for my own projects.
Models: I’m especially looking for models who bring a raw fearlessness to their art… who are willing to hike a bit and maybe get dirty… and who represent diversity within the modeling community. In the latter category, I’m interested in working with models of color/BIPOC, non-binary models, non-heterosexual couples, non-“HWP” models, models with tattoos, scars, or natural body hair, etc.
Payment: Happy to pay standard modeling rates or to shoot TFP. I'll also pay for hiking time (albeit at a reduced rate). I pay higher rates for erotic modeling.
Schedule: Check out my online calendar to see when I'm available to shoot. Tuesday-Friday are usually the best days of the week to avoid crowds, but Saturdays are also options for more remote locations, or after Labor Day.
COVID-19: To minimize the risk of spreading the Coronavirus, please have your own transportation.
