SO YOU KNOW...
I am a very experienced model from Lancaster Pa. I am Gay. I am also engaged to model Clint Shields. We love to travel and work together. In my portfolio you will find images of our work together. Since we travel together we are always both available for a shoot together though that does not necessarily mean we have to be in all the same shots. For TRADE work we come as a package deal and/or will be accompanying each other to the shoot. For Paid work, we will be accompanying each other and if you are interested in both our looks, we offer our Individual Rate to book us both. Below you find details on booking work with me, my views on Photography and Art, Projects I am interested in as well as being able to view my full resume of experience. My main objective here is to network with Photographers, Designers and Make Up Artists in a professional manner for the purposes of exchanging advice, experiences, collaborating and booking paid work. I am very friendly and outgoing , I like to have a great time and meet new talented people but I take what I do very seriously. I conduct myself in a very professional manner and expect those I work and communicate with to do the same. Thank you for visiting my web site and feel free to send me an email regarding my work or any inquiries you may have.

ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY...
I have a wide range of passions and interests in the realm of Photography. My goal is to always push forward in my work but to always maintain a strong Artistic value at the same time. I am not afraid to push boundaries in fact I feel that is exactly what most Art is born from. Exceeding limits and expectations. Whether I am working a Fashion Shoot or a Fine Art Nude I always bring the same determination and intensity to “Get the Shot”! Some of the best shoots are the long hard ones. The ones in freezing water or stretched out on 100 degree pavement naked. Modeling is work and it’s also what I love… I hope you see that in my work!

PROJECTS AND INTERESTS...
As stated above I have a wide range of project interests and many styles of photography I want to explore. My goal is be as diverse as possible. One of my more resent passions lies in Extreme Posing. I love images that require me to move and pose in Extreme Angles. I find this it be challenging to perform and exciting to view in the finished image. I love Fashion Photography as well as Fine Art Nudes. Under Artistic guidelines I am interested in tasteful Erotic Art and Body Scaping. As mentioned above my Fiance’ Clint Shields and I are available for images involving a couple and we greatly enjoy working together on these projects.

RATES...
My normal fee for a typical shoot varies on whether the Project interests me and whether I am going to receive copies of any finished images and/or Tearsheet. When booking a Paid Shoot of any kind it is all about what the Photographer (Client) wants to shoot and I do not expect to receive images. However, I do offer a Fee Discount if copy of images are provided. Also when booking a Paid Shoot travel and accommodations are not expected, that is included in my fee*. My Per Hour Rates are listed below, shoots that are of substantial length (more the 3 hours) are negotiable in a Flat Rate Per Shoot. Just Email me if the shoot you have in mind will require more then 3 hours. For all my shoots I am accompanied by my Fiance’ Model Clint Shields and if desired his services are included during or after our Shoot free of charge in exchange for copy of CD. This is something we offer whenever one or the other Books a Shoot.
His resume and work can be viewed on his web site,www.ClintShields.com

TFP/CD...
I am accepting very little TFP/CD work at the moment. I usually reserve this type of shoot for Photographers, MUAs and Designers I have worked with before or Photographers with an incredible portfolio and concept that I think will benefit my own portfolio as well as for individuals that I feel I can learn from and enjoy working with. That being said, if you have a concept in mind and would like to work with me it never hurts to ask. When I do accept TFP/CD work I like to make sure the details and expectations of the shoot are clear to all parties involved. If interested in working with me on a TFP/CD basis please read the following on how I view TFP/TFCD work before contacting me with your proposal as very few times do I stray from this. Some peoples opinions vary on the subject of TFP/CD work and experience has taught me to discuss details before booking any such work so as to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
The difference I see between TFP/CD (TRADE) work and a paid shoot is that with a Trade shoot it is a collaboration between Model and Photographer to capture images that both are looking to create to benefit both portfolios. Both Model and Photographer should have some say in what images are touched up for portfolio use so both get images they can be proud of though not necessarily the same images. With a Trade shoot the images are to be used strictly for portfolio use and the images are not to be sold or published in a manner that generates income for the Photographer OR Model. Verses a Paid shoot is totally the Photographer’s or Client’s shoot. The Model is at the Photographer’s or Client’s disposal, to model for what the they want to shoot either for their portfolio or for images to sell, publish or for use in some other form of promotion. With a Paid shoot the images can be used in any manner by the Photographer as he/she has paid for them.
When I do Trade work I ask for proofs of all images that are clear and in focus to select images I would like to see edited. This can be done at the time of the shoot which is preferred for Studio work, through the Photographers web site or by CD provided at the time of the shoot or by mail immediately following the shoot. If the photographer does not want to edit them for any personal reason and or does not want his/her name to be credited to a particular image I simply ask that I be supplied the raw image to edit and use myself. I also ask with Trade work for a copy of every image that is edited in both web ready and high resolution formats on CD. Web ready images may be emailed as well. I ask that a maximum two week turn around on receiving the CD of edited images that we selected unless there is some valid reason discussed prior to the shoot for why more time is needed. When I schedule a Trade shoot I treat it as any Paid shoot, I allow enough time to satisfy the needs of the shoot and that of the Photographer in my part of the images and I expect the same treatment from the Photographer.
All in all Trade work can and should be a wonderful experience between to talented people that produces a finished product that everyone can be proud of and provided respect and mutual consideration is always given you always get that working with me!

"Hey Tony. Great working with both of you today. Shoot went so smoothly and that's thanks to yours and Clint's professionalism and eagar participation. One of (your) photos I decided to turn into a fresco painting because the pose was perfect for that treatment. A number of your poses Tony were perfect D&G spots, especially the swimwear ones and the shots at the window were dead on ads. I could see them in Vogue.You did exactly what a model is supposed to; you sold yourself AND the product.Thanks again."
