After 42 years of photographing beautiful models and would-be models, and some of not quite model material (especially in recent years) I am calling it a day.
Now that modelling "careers" seemingly exist nowhere except in girls' heads and on Facebook pages, or that most horrible of Faux Hollywood Glamour sites known as Instagram, "photoshoots" consist of nothing more than a mobile phone selfie in front of a bathroom mirror, and random "advice" from the internet and narcissistic "boyfriends" is valued more highly than that from decades of industry experience, it is time to leave it all to the scam artists, pimps and pretenders, who seem to have the controlling interest on model photography today, and considering the public perception of photography and photographers is at an all time low, they are welcome to it. In other words, I will no longer photograph, train, mentor, or be available for advice to would be models especially for those who think themselves such a "beautiful, but sadly undiscovered talent" everything should be for FREE.
