I'll never take the most impressive photo of a famous landscape or building. I know some of the most impressive shots of venues are available with a quick google search. I also don’t think I’ll impact a mountain or building or sunset by capturing the scene in an intere...

In the last week, I’ve had two male models show up for their photoshoot with a female where I was not notified in advance. Both times, I was caught off guard.

Both studio and on location have advantages and disadvantages.

Here’s the top reasons I love shooting in a studio and specifically one that is a “male photo studio”...

1. Control of the Shooting Environment - the nature of the studio allows for precise control over lig...

I have photographed many guys who are not professional models. Most of the people I photograph have never done a shoot in a studio before, and certainly not a nude session. Many guys tell me after the session that they felt very comfortable during the session and feel...
