Most of the men I photograph are not professional models. Before a shoot we'll meet and talk about we want out of it. My photo sessions with men usually last about two hours and include both clothed and nude imaging. After the session, I spend at least thirty hours selecting, processing and retouching the images.

As compensation for their generosity of time and effort working with me, I provide each model with their best images from our shoot as 8.5x11” archival, pigment-ink prints that will last more than their lifetime as well as digital files. I can also provide larger prints up to 16x21" at my costs. From the session I get to enjoy taking and processing images. Models get high-quality images of themselves to use however they want without having to pay for a photo shoot.

I wish I had some good images of me back when I was young and muscular!

In my website's Men gallery, I do not include images with frontal nudity. The only place I display all images from the session is on the walls of my home. Displaying my work in public galleries does not interest me.

Models must provide proof they are over the age of eighteen and sign this standard Adult Model Release from the American Society of Media Photographers.
