FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions for New Models)

What age should I be?

If you are under 18, don't even think about it!

If you are under 21, it depends on how mature you are. You will have to convince me of your maturity and provide a photo ID to be photocopied. Aside from that, age is not really important some models have been 18 or 19, others have been in their 40's and 60's.

What should I look like for a shoot?

If you have a proportioned figure and at least somewhat attractive face, (thin and flat is not a problem, this isn't Playboy), then I am interested in you. I'm interested in real women, bumps, bruises and surgical scars included. I'm interested in the glamorous, super beauty of course, but I'm also interested in the average woman, someone who could be(or actually is) the lady next door (in fact one was a neighbor). A perfect body isn't at all necessary. Things like surgical scars can be worked around so they are not a problem. Experience is not a factor. I have photographed highly professional models and rank novices alike. Many of my models are volunteers who I photographed nude for the first time; who after seeing part of my collection, decided they wanted to be included. Not one has ever regretted the shoot. I'm interested in personality and motivstion far more than in appearance. I want you to really want to do this!

What's an art session like?

The sessions are a lot of fun for everyone. They are relaxed and casual. I have found that most new models are nervous at first, but don't want to stop by the end of the session, they are having too much fun.

I'm bashful and wouldn't want my face to show.

Faces are not a problem at all. Much of my work is by intent, anonymous. If being recognized is a problem, it can easily be arranged so that your face either does not show at all, or is de-emphasized and minimized. Names are not used at all.

How do I arrange a session with you?

Since I'm in Sacramento, California, be in or near Sacramento, or find your way here.

What I am uncomfortable with a pose?

There are two ways of being uncomfortable.

Sometime the poses are physically uncomfortable, because of stretching into some contorted positions.When that happens, let me know and we'll take a break so you can work out stiff muscles, or just relax for a few minutes.

Sometimes a pose is uncomfortable because of the nature of the pose. The model is always the boss. If you feel a pose I suggest is too revealing, or too explicit, just let me know and I'll explain what I am doing and what the pose is about. If you are still uncomfortable with the pose, then we simply move on to something else with no argument! I want my models and to be pleased with the session so they will want to come back and tell their friends about it.

What if I discover, after starting a nude session that I'm too embarrassed and decide I really don't want to do it.

No problem. Let me know that you are unhappy. We will stop immediately and destroy the film, but let me know your feelings as soon as possible. The last thing I want is for a model to feel embarrassed and have regrets after doing a session. After the shooting session is completed and we have spent several hours shooting film, it's too late!

Are the sessions rushed and hectic?

Absolutely not; not ever. I calculate how much time I believe will be needed for the session, depending on what we are doing, then double it. There is always plenty of time and never a feeling of being rushed or hurried .

What happens if after the shoot, my boyfriend or husband is unhappy and wants the pictures destroyed?

That's a problem you need to work out in advance. I have enough baggage in my life without adding yours. If this may be a problem for you, don't do the shoot. Basically its your problem and none of my business. Once the shoot is done, then its done. I invest a substantial amount of my time, energy and money in these sessions and can't throw that away. It is up to you to work out domestic problems in advance. If there is someone important in your life who may object, I strongly suggest you discuss it before doing the shoot. This may be art, but it is also business.

I'm a nude dancer or other entertainer and may need photos for my own publicity.

No problem. Let me know and we can arrange usage. Several dancers and other entertainers have had me do their PR photos.

What's in it for me?

No one is asked to donate their time. We pay you CASH at the completion of the shoot. Nude models can earn $20.00 to $100.00 an hour depending on the type of poses.

I would love to have pictures of myself for me or as a present for my guy, but wouldn't want them to be published.

That's easy, don't call me as a model, instead contact me for a private photo session. You would be surprised how inexpensive some great personal photos could be. For my clients, I offer a written guarantee that no prints will ever be made without your express written consent. As a client, the photos will be as conservative or as naughty as you like. Depends on how wicked you feel!

I'm interested. How can I contact you?
