None of the men I've photographed are professional models.
My images are taken on Time For Prints (TFP) basis. Instead of exchanging money, we exchange our time and skills. I get the enjoyment of capturing and of processing images. The model gets fully retouched and optimized digital images along with a binder of 8.5x11” archival, pigment-ink prints rated to least at least 65 years without fading. I can provide larger prints up to 16x21" at my costs.
Please contact me at eric_h_johnson@yahoo.com if you want to collaborate as my model. You must be over 18, have a good look—and most importantly—a confident and energetic physical presence.
Before a shoot we will meet at a Seattle restaurant on Capitol Hill and talk about we want out of it. My photo sessions last about two hours in my home studio and include both clothed and nude imaging.
