Joe

I am a lifetime Photographer. I took B&W and Color Photo courses at City College of SF. I started with 35mm film and slide photography and used to do my own darkroom printing work.

Most of my photos in the past are Travel, Nature, and Landscape. Recently I started fashion and glamour photography for local SF Bay Area Fashion Designers. I am always interested in new works, especially in outdoor glamours and Fashion. My Favorite place to shoot is in Marin County, the Wineries in Sonoma, along the California Coast, and in San Francisco Locations like Golden Gate Park, The Mission District, The Presidio, and some of the location in Soma.

If you are a female, whether beginning or experienced and is interested in working with me, drop me a line. I usually do TPCD or if the project is usefull to both of us and you are an exceptional model, I will pay for your time and your travel. If you pose for me, you will recieve a TFCD within 7-10 days of the photo session. The only time I can pay a model is when I have an assignment, then payment would be by the hour or session.

I have a Canon 40D but I prefer to use the consumer Canon Xsi (the only Canon with live view as of August 2008) with 17-85mm EF USM IS lens or a 70-300 EF USM IS lens depending on the situation. I take photos in Color, B&W, or Sepia for that vintage look, depending on the needs of the model.

Since I did most of my past work in landscape/travel, I try to use as much natural light as possible. Best time for my sessions are from 9am to 11am and 3pm to sunset. I also am an expert in Photoshop, so I do my own photo corrections if needed.

I can travel to most locations within a 100 miles radius of San Francisco Bay Area to meet the model for the shoot also.
