FAQs for Models

What Are You Looking For?

Even though I'd love to take every exhibitionist who comes along, I don't get paid for this, and I have to earn a living. I'm going to focus on the guys who I think will turn into a beautiful image on camera (or, alternately, the guys who really turn me on). Young is good -- the younger you are the more flaws audiences forgive. If you're over 25 or 30, you're going to need to be in very good shape and willing to go a bit farther. Slim or athletic is always popular. Right now I'm especially looking for twinks, jocks, and ethnic types. Personally, I find slim guys, 18-25, with long hair especially hot. But these are just guidelines. It never hurts to hit me up and ask!

What If I'm Not Sure About Doing Nudes/Adult Images?

Simple. Don't sign a model release. Without a signed model release, I can't legally distribute your likeness (comercially or otherwise).

If you want to try it out once, and then see how you feel in the morning, that's fine by me. Remember, I do this to have fun! If a few days later you decide you're not comfortable, the pictures or videos will never see the light of day. If, a few days later, you get excited every time you think about the people who will see the pictures or video, well, you're the type of guy who's going to love doing this sort of thing!

Will My Privacy Be protected?

Absolutely! Check out my model privacy policy. Safety comes first.

What's Involved With a Shoot?

Typically, I'll have a digital camera and/or a video camera, occasionally both, and sometimes a film camera. I will expect you to get naked. Pretty easy for an exhibitionist, but may take some getting used to for everyone else. I'm not a big fan of most "porn" -- which is about nothing but sex -- so I'm probably going to want you to be willing to experiment and try new things.

I prefer to keep shoots very low-key and on your terms. Every shoot is different, because every guy is different. I don't want you doing anything you're uncomfortable with. I also want you to have fun, so I won't discourage any safe and legal ideas you have.

I'm based in the Los Angeles area (Pasadena), and I spend a lot of time in Fresno. You will be expected to come to me the first time (sorry, been flaked on too many times), though we may be able to travel to your location later on. I get out to the East Coast every year or two, so if you're a Northeast kid, don't hesitate to contact me.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to present two forms of valid, government-issued photo ID that we will copy and keep on record. (That's a Federal law. There's nothing I can do about it.)

If I'm Selected, What Will You Want Me To Do?

Well, I haven't actually decided yet. Mostly whatever you want to do.

Since this is about fun first, I don't have specific plans. The best art is created by being spontaneous and willing to roll with whatever ideas come up. I'm always amazed by what other people think to try!

Obviously, my art is about the male body and male sexuality, so I'll expect to see all of you, and sexual activity is not discouraged. Solo action (J/O) is great. Action with a partner is great. The art is in how it's photographed or videotaped, not what the subject matter is.

If we find we work really well together, I'd love to develop a relationship with a few guys where we can do shoots regularly. If you want to do a shoot once and then be done with it, that's fine, too.

Remember, though, despite the fact that we we're in this for fun, once your footage is out there, it can be viewed by anyone, anywhere, forever. Even if I decided to take it down (and if you've signed a release, I doubt I will), it would still be out there. Some people look back at nude/adult work they did 10 years ago and are thrilled they did it, and love how they looked. Others wish it would go away. If you're the type who will regret having done it, please do yourself a favor and don't do it at all. I personally think that everyone should be proud of their body and their equipment and tell the prudes that if they're offended they just shouldn't look at it.

So, We Can Do "Action"?

Sure, why not? But I'm not a dating service, nor a pimp. I will never assign you a partner or expect you to perform action with anyone you're not already into, including me! I expect you (and your partner) to come to me with the idea to do action. (And, if your partner is a woman, that's fine as long as she realizes it's all going to be about you, and she's just there to make you look good.)

All action is expected to be safe and non-violent, always. Bareback is only allowed if you are performing with your own, real-life, lifetime monogamous partner (and even then I'll probably still insist on condoms unless the two of you have truly been together forever). Safety always comes first.

Can I Do Action with You?

I'd be lying if I said this never happens. But, it's not what I expect, nor want. If you're attracted to me, I'm very flattered, but offering to do pictures is not the best way to try to get me into bed, especially if you're actually uncomfortable doing them.

Realistically, the guys you see me in the picture with are usually people I've gotten to know pretty well over some time, and am very comfortable with.

Your best bet if you're interested in doing action photos or videos with me, is to wait until after we've met in person (everyone looks different in person), and then tell me you'd be into it if I would be. I'll almost certainly politely decide to stay behind the camera. But then I know you're interested and if I'm interested or there's a specific shot I'd like to get, I know I can suggest it.

Do I Have To Show My Face?

As a general rule, yes. Though there's certainly a market for "body parts," I generally shoot them at the same time as we shoot full body shots. Besides, if you're not comfortable having your face on camera, you're really not comfortable doing nudes.

What About Semi-Nude Photos?

I do shoot them from time to time. They're not as much fun, of course. :)

O.K. I'm Interested. What Do I Do?

Simply fill out my model search form. Once I get your form, I'll e-mail you and ask you to send photos. I'll need to see a good face shot and a good body shot (they can be the same picture). If you're what I'm looking for, I'll set up a shoot!

Does the Photo I Send You Have To Be Me? Does It Have To Be Recent?

Yes. Unless you want me to be very angry and abruptly refuse to do the shoot. The photo does not have to be good though -- I can tell looking at a photograph what is bad photography and what is a bad model. It's my job to take the good photograph.
