PICTURES:
I am a freelance photographer who likes to shoot models using the natural beauty of nature as the background. Because I do not have a studio and travel to sites, I strongly encourage the use of escorts. I am selective on the model I use for my personal portfolio. I do not contact a large quantity of models. I prefer the quality of an elegant and/or exotic look. It is also not unusual for me to seek a model who represents the image of the motif I am trying to capture at the time. Minors (under the age of 18) will always need to be accompanied by a legal adult and have signed authorization from their parent or guardian prior to any shoot. All photography, involving a minor, will always be conservative in it's scope. I will listen to models regarding their ideas pertaining to the shoot.
I have passed an extensive FBI background investigation and have been approved to work projects within a local school district. You can view two of the photographs on this portfolio. Neither of the images have been retouched. The photographs were taken at a high school authorized ROTC military formal ball.
I have been receiving requests for sessions involving the shooting of nude photographs. All of the models I have been in contact and/or working with (excluding Everett), have expressed a strong desire not to be photographed nude. Consequently, I intend to keep my portfolio "nude free." As a reminder, I am preparing to conduct photo shoots that will include the participation of minors. To give the appearance that I am conducting nude photography would be counter productive to the type of clientele I am trying to attract for my portfolio. If you are in need of nude photographs, I can refer you to photographers who do superior work.
EXPENSE and PAYMENT:
Currently I work TFP/CD. I will pay travel expenses (within reason) for the models I contact for location shoots. All of my photographs are natural and can be easily edited by any photo shop software. After retouching, editing, and/or manipulation, if I have failed to produce a reasonable number of superior quality photographs for a model's portfolio, I will reimburse him/her time at a reasonable rate.
The purpose of all the images I use are intended for display in my personal portfolio. The model will receive a letter indicating that he/she is permitted to edit, display, and/or sell the images.
The models I have worked with, possess exceptional physical and emotional beauty. Personally, I appreciate the natural look of a "raw" or untouched photograph. However, after discussing this issue with the individuals involved, I conducted a basic retouch of the images contained inside my portfolio. At this time, all images involving models have been retouched. I have conducted any retouch and/or edit of any image contained in this portfolio unless noted otherwise. There have been no other manipulations of the images. For the benefit of the models I work with, all photo shoots that I conduct in the future will be retouched prior to uploading into my portfolio. All photo shoots will continue to be available in a "raw" or untouched state on the Photo Bucket web-site.
I would also like to assist models who are trying to build their own portfolios. Currently I use 800 35mm film and 400 Professional 35mm Black and White.
Occasionally, I will be willing to pay a reasonable rate to an experienced model, (with a strong portfolio). I will contact them directly. Normally I will be looking to learn an aspect of the profession from their perspective. Each shoot will be at a predetermined location and will consist of 100-200 photographs. Expect the duration to last between one to five hours depending on the model's time constraints.
The WHALEY HOUSE:
I visited the Whaley House on August 4, 2010. I snapped several photographs inside the first two-story brick home in San Diego. The house was started in 1856 with the construction of a grainary. Built in the Greek Revival Style, the two-story house and store were added in 1857. The Whaley House is listed by the United States Department of Commerce as an authentic haunted house. It appears that at least one of the Whaley family wanted to be photographed. Can you find him/her? The picture has been posted. The attendant and I were discussing the life and death of Violet Whaley. After developing the film I found Thomas or George Whaley in one of the photographs. My niece immediately saw what appeared to be a woman in a Victorian dress behind him. Violet or Anna Whaley? It maybe nothing...
THE MODELS:
Yes, that is me in the Headshot section of my portfolio. The photographer. The picture was taken recently at the Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma outside San Diego, California.
Model 442795, is Vietnamese and 42 years-old. Minh-Tam was a pleasure to work with. She came prepared with an assortment of clothing and accessories. Her older brother accompanied her to the photo shoot. The photo shoot took place at Eisenhower Park located in the city of Orange. Running streams, rock formations, and trees added to the concept of beauty in nature. The complete photo shoot involving Minh-Tam is available for viewing in an untouched state at http://photobucket.com/sd_minh
Everett, is a 26 year-old African American, from Northridge. His entire portfolio is available on Model Mayhem 538896. Everett attends the University of California at Northridge as a student. He also runs track for the Matadors. It was a pleasure to work with Everett. From the beginning of the photo shoot we collaborated on the images. The entire photo shoot took place on the Northridge campus. I am sure you will enjoy all of the pictures, untouched, on the Photo Bucket web site. The entire photo shoot with Everett is available at http://photobucket.com/sd_everett
Dwhitney, (pronounced deewhit-nee), is a 20 year-old African-American, from Escondido, California. Her entire portfolio is available on Model Mayhem #1630459. It was a pleasure to work with Dwhitney. The photo shoot took place on August 10, 2010 at Grape Day Park in Escondido. She was escorted to the photo shoot by her brother Cameron. Dwhitney was in need of "natural" headshots for her portfolio. We captured some excellent headshots! The entire photo shoot with Dwhitney is available for viewing in an untouched state at http://photobucket.com/sd_dwhitney
Danielle is a member of Model Mayhem 1699976. It was a pleasure to work with such a professional and friendly individual. I just do not know how a woman gets her figure back so quickly after delivering a baby only four months ago. Danielle was previously employed in the United States Air Force. Her husband is currently deployed in Iraq. He has never held his baby. She was escorted to the photo shoot by her sister. The session was held on August 8, 2010. In over nine rolls of film there were very few unusable pictures. The entire photo shoot involving Danielle, without retouching, is available for viewing at http://photobucket.com/sd_danielle
Model 393439 is European with Estonian ancestry. Ly (pronounced Lee) is an experienced studio model. I feel fortunate to have had an opportunity to photograph her prior to her return to Europe in September. She chose Santa Monica Beach to work the photo shoot. She was accompanied to the session by her fiance. He supplied substantial support to both Ly and myself. Santa Monica was crowded and windy, but those issues are not visible in most of her images. She is a true professional. The entire shoot is available for viewing at:

Ajee is a 16 year old high school junior. She is African-American with Latin ancestry. Ajee was photographed on July 6, 2010, at Torrey Pines State Park, located in La Jolla. She was accompanied to the photo shoot by her guardian. The entire shoot can be viewed at:

Model 438623 is a Latina of Mexican heritage. To attend the shoot, Tanya drove down to Lake Elsinore from Victorville. Believe it or not, Tanya recently delivered a child less than three months ago. Her husband, Alberto and two children, accompanied Tanya to the shoot. The shoot was similar in scope to the June 20, 2010, photographs shot here in Lake Elsinore, involving Veena. So many good pictures and poses to choose from. It will be difficult to make a final decision. In the mean time I have posted just a few of the photographs for viewing. The entire shoot can be reviewed at: http://photobucket.com/sd_tanya
Model 441090 is a Filipina with Norwegian ancestry. There were so many good pictures of Vanessa, it will be difficult to decide which ones will remain in this porfolio. Her husband, Jason, accompanied her to the shoot. Jason is currently a marine who has been previously deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. It was a pleasure to have met and worked with both of them. I did accidentally destroy an entire roll of 800 35mm high resolution film that had already been shot in the park, located in Oceanside. Vannesa stayed to allow me an opportunity to recapture some of the images. I have uploaded some of the pictures for review. The entire shoot can be viewed at: http://photobucket.com/sd_vanessa
Model 163169, is of Eastern Indian Descent (India). Veena was a pleasure to work with. On June 20, 2010, Veena drove down from Santa Monica, 100 + miles, to attend this shoot in Lake Elsinore. Shortly after she arrived, a bumble bee was attracted to and subsequently stung her in the middle of the back. She continued to work for an additional four hours. The entire shoot with Veena is available for viewing at: http://photobucket.com/sd_veena
STUDIOS:
If you work for a studio and would like specific shots of an individual located in Southern California, please contact me. I will be reasonable with the costs, including expenses.
SPORTS:
I do enjoy photographing sporting events. I have several recent photographs for viewing. Because I live in Lake Elsinore, California, I watch and photograph a large quantity of games involving the Lake Elsinore Storm. The Lake Elsinore Storm play in the High "A" Baseball California League. It is estimated that as many as four out of ten Major League baseball players come through the Cal League.
PERSONAL INFORMATION:
I am 55 years old and have been married for 25 years. I drink very little alcohol and I do not use illicit drugs. Please respect my feelings on this matter during the time we are together on the photo shoot. This includes your escort(s). I will not shoot nudes unless I have previously worked with the model and he and/or she requires a personal need for the photographs.
If you have any questions and/or comments please do not hesitate to contact me at SDPutter@verizon.net.
