Creative Photoshoots
Creative photoshoots are designed to explore unique, imaginative, or experimental ideas. This can include boudoir, costumes, cosplay, or original concepts that bring a story or artistic vision to life. Because this category is so broad, I will be a bit more selective in approving themes and outfits to ensure they fit my portfolio direction and artistic goals.
Models are encouraged to bring outfits that fully embody their concept. This could be:
-
Boudoir or lingerie with a creative twist (thematic sets, unique fabrics, dramatic accessories)
-
Costumes inspired by film, history, or original characters
-
Cosplay that reflects fandom culture while also allowing for fine art or dramatic styling
-
Avant-garde, experimental, or surreal concepts (unusual fabrics, body paint, theatrical elements)
Outfits (Props & Styling)
To elevate the final imagery, consider bringing accessories or props that tie your outfit together. Ideas include:
-
Themed props (weapons for cosplay, instruments, vintage objects, fantasy elements, etc.)
-
Headpieces, masks, wigs, or dramatic hair styling
-
Fabrics, drapes, or environmental pieces that enhance the atmosphere
-
Creative makeup or body paint for unique character design
Notes on Selection
Since this category can encompass almost anything, I’ll be choosing ideas based on:
-
How well they fit my creative direction
-
The uniqueness of the concept
-
The potential to create strong, impactful portfolio images
Please send me a photo or link of any outfits, props, or inspiration boards before the shoot. Links to stock images, reference art, or product photos are perfectly fine. This helps me prepare the creative direction in advance and ensure the concept is a good fit for collaboration.
Shoots are done TFP right now on an individual request basis.

Safety First
Your safety, comfort, and peace of mind are my top priorities during every shoot. I bring the same level of care and responsibility here that I do in my career as an Advanced Care Flight Paramedic and as the Chief Paramedic for a charity service. While I can’t predict every situation, I do everything possible to make sure sessions are safe, respectful, and welcoming for everyone.
Here’s what that means for you:
-
Open Communication: If you have any limitations, need assistance, or just want me to be aware of something ahead of time, please let me know. The more I understand, the better I can make the experience for you.
-
Meeting Beforehand: It's my preference to meet before a shoot to break the ice and make sure we get along! If this is difficult due to time/distance, I am happy to do a "Face-to-Face" online. Just let me know!
-
Transparency & Trust: My LinkedIn profile is linked in the “About Me” section of this site, so you can learn more about me. I’m also happy to provide a photo of my government I.D. and my contact numbers so you can share them with a partner, family member, or friend before your session.
-
Bringing Support/a Guest: You’re more than welcome to bring someone along if that makes you feel more comfortable. For women’s sessions, I ask that guests be female to keep the environment relaxed for everyone. For men’s sessions, shoots are scheduled separately from the ladies so that comfort and respect are maintained across the board. Gentlemen are also welcome to bring a support person!
-
Professionalism Always: Clear boundaries, respect, and professionalism guide every shoot. My job is not only to capture great photos but also to ensure you feel safe, comfortable, and confident throughout the process.
At the end of the day, your well-being matters just as much as the final images. When you feel secure and supported, that’s when the best photos happen.

FAQ
TFP (Trade For Photos) Rules
This is a TFP shoot. That means models will not be paid for their time, and I will not be charging for the shoot. Instead, everyone involved receives professional photos in exchange for their participation.
-
Each model will receive a minimum of 5 fully edited, high-quality JPEG photos from the shoot.
-
Both the model and the photographer must give proper credit when posting photos on social media, websites, or other platforms.
-
Photos cannot be edited, cropped, filtered, or have watermarks removed. If you would like adjustments, I will provide edits free of charge.
-
Photos may not be used for commercial gain, competitions, or publications without the written consent of the photographer and all models appearing in the image.
-
Additional personal-use shots may be taken after the main creative photos are completed. These follow the same usage and credit guidelines.
These guidelines are in place to ensure fairness, protect everyone’s work, and keep opportunities like this available for future shoots.
Editing Policy, Delivery & AI Use
All editing for this project is done manually by me. I do not use AI tools to alter bodies, faces, or features. My process is entirely hands-on to preserve authenticity and ensure the final images remain true to the model and the artistic vision.
I do not alter a person’s body (shape, size, or proportions) unless specifically requested by the model. What I do edit are things like:
-
Shadow lines or lighting artifacts caused by the camera setup.
-
Minor skin blemishes such as acne, redness, or other temporary concerns.
-
Distracting details that do not reflect how the person normally looks.
If you have specific concerns, I can make edits at your request. My goal is to create fine art images that highlight strength, form, and character while respecting the individuality of each model.
Because every adjustment is done by hand, delivery may take longer than automated editing methods. This ensures quality and consistency across all final images. My goal is to deliver within a month. If this is not able to be done, it will be communicated.
Additionally, once photos are delivered, there is an expectation that they are not altered through AI tools (apps, filters, or generative editors). This is to protect both the integrity of the artwork and the authenticity of the people represented.
