I am a former full time commercial and model photographer from Los Angeles, California, I currently shoot primarily for my own enjoyment and to benefit the models and talent that I work with. I specialize in shooting CHILDREN and TEENS for fashion and commercial oriented images.

I am Webmaster for the first and only G-Rated model and talent networking forum in the State of Texas. We have nearly 6,000 registered members and have been online since approximately the year 2000. This forum is a networking site for serious models, actors, and model-photographers in Texas.

To register, go to: The Texas Models & Talent Forum ( http://www.stockimageagency.com/forum )

In the year 2002, I originator of the FREE GROUP SHOOT concept. The first FREE GROUP SHOOT helped 80 Centeral Texas actors obtain free headshot photos - many of which are still being used on their various agency sites today. Often duplicated, the original FREE GROUP SHOOT events each month actually lead to models and talent obtaining licensed agency representation, paying modeling and acting jobs, and commercial quality images at no cost whatsoever. Through stock options, in fact, the so-called "TFP" images earn models money when they sell for actual print advertising to clients!

I began my photographic career in San Diego, where I shot primarily catalog and point of sale, clothing hang tags, posters, etc. My first published magazine work was in Ujena Swimwear catalogs in the 1980's ("Swimwear Illustrated" magazine).

In addition to my interests in photography, I own a licensed talent agency, AUSTIN MODELS & TALENT AGENCY (AM&T). Austin Models & Talent (Texas License #TALAGY00000439) is intentionally small and focused on assisting new faces achieve an honest and no-cost introduction to the modeling and acting talent industry. Our models and actors work in feature film, television, commercial and print. Prior to coming to Texas, I co-owned an agency that was located in North Hollywood, California.

While living and growing up in Southern California, my industry activities and credits include: Television and Independent Film and Music Video Casting (including the TV series, "It's A Living"), Producing, Production Packaging, Line Producing (budgets), Personal Management, and Writing (published author and I have written original screenplays - one optioned by Universal Pictures in 1979, while I was still in high school). In my Hollywood dealings, my partner and I were the Personal Manager for ex-professional prize fighter, VINNIE CURTO. Vinne fought twice for the World Title before moving into stand up comedy and acting. As his Managers, we helped Vinne Curto raise over $1 million from Celebrity Boxing for his "Fight For Life Challenge" charity event. A press conference for this, which took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel, is available for viewing (see below).
