thanks! I'm a lindy hopper, and a huge cab calloway fan!
both sets of grandparents had farms, and I spent summers shoveling cow poo and god knows what else...and they're really, really, really stupid, least my grandparents cows were! I guess I got a little scarred!

Thank you.

thanks! yeah, I wish I was there too... some day

I Can do an even trade but not a free shoot, there are always expenses
for both the model and photographer: travel expenses, stylist expenses, location (sometimes we might move the shoot)

Even if you can find willing stylists to work free, the product they use
costs big bank- we would need to at least, give a tip.
Even so I've had people not show up because its not enough to work
and be under paid even if the photos are gold.

As for Studio location- I reserve a space at the Hyatt,
re-arrange the furniture and use portable studio lighting.

1. If I take full cost onto myself - Im looking at 2 to 250$.
or we divi the cost at 125$
2.you can wait till November when I book all my SF shoots
and charge 50$ flat (thats 15 Gals a day =why its cheap)
3. Im sure if I talk to DC about using the PL studio and
invite other models (20 gal minimum) and charge 15$
Im sure that might cover all expenses and you get everything
at a cheaper price.

Im giving these options because this is much more then a business
to me, helping new talent is great but the reality is Not every model has mad money to dump hundreds of bucks on a photographer or an MUA just as us photographers don't always have mad cheddar to dump on a model.

Im giving you all my best options to benefit you as well as everyone
comming into this especially because strong shots sell and get you
paid work.

I travel to SF often and yes Id love to work with you,
do you have something in mind already for a shoot?

hmmm yes shoes...but theyare so expensive these days :-(

Covina is near Los Angeles

Thank you so much! You have great pics too! xx
