Do you want to be featured Model on DBatesPhoto.com?

While I am always looking for new faces to work with I prefer having a select few to work with on a regular basis.  If you are 19 years of age or older and live in or around Madison and Huntsville, AL. I am not waiting to find a supermodel or America's Next Top Model. I simply want someone with an interest in becoming a model or shooting for fun. I look for a pleasant appearance and attitude more than I do a specific look, body style or experience level. While some ideas require a specific look or body style I have many ideas that will fit most women.

Young ladies interested in being a Model under the age of 19, the legal age to sign contracts in Alabama, will have to have a parent or legal guardian to contact me and be present on all shoots to sign model releases as well as for both of our protection.

While I do not have as many projects requiring Male Models I have no issues working with male models as long as they have a professional attitude and interesting look.

If this sounds like you look over my Projects to see if any interest you and then use my Model Contact Page to contact me. For prospective models that have not worked with me before here are a few tips on what to expect as well as basic info about model photography in general. If you have any questions that the tips page does not answer feel free to Email Me. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with you soon.

Some of the Projects I am currently working on

I shoot the following projects for my personal portfolio (Print and Websites).

• Casual Portraits
  • Senior portrait style photographs more focus on you and your personality than the clothes you wear or location where we shoot. I am occasionally involved in group photo shoots with other photographers where we photograph multiple models in the same day. If this is your sole or primary interest in modeling then I encourage you to contact me about attending one of our group shoots.
• Environmental Portraits - High Fashion
  • Shot on location Environmental Portraits focus more on style and imagery instead of the model. Whether for a catalog, mailer or Print Ads in a Magazine these are generally the style of images you will see. Takes more planning than a casual portrait, but the images are also more imaginative and worth the time spent. Wardrobe specific so when wardrobe is provided it requires exact body style and size.
• Glamour Portraits (FHM™ & Maxim™ style)
  • Glamour Portraits cover a large area of photography. The primary focus of Glamour is using Intense Lighting, poses and angles to give a specific feeling sometimes Romantic other times edgy.
  • Generally shot in a studio location, but some ideas require specific locations. Wardrobe consists of specific costumes as well as Lingerie or Swimwear. While some images may be sensual no nudity is required. Some images may give the implication that the model is partially or fully nude, but this is done by use of specific wardrobe and camera angles.
• Themed portraits
  • Multiple themes in various Locations. Interested in all body styles; Slim, Average to Plus-sized models
    • Southern Belles, Not just the antebellum style beauties. I want to really show off the Beauty of Southern Ladies all around the South. Casual and Environmental portraits showcasing Ladies from the South whether Born and Raised in the South or chose to Move here. 
    • Ladies hard at work; Women are a lot more than just housewives and models these day. I want to show how beautiful ladies can be no matter what career they choose. Mix of Casual and Glamour Portraits focusing on the woman her day to day life. More than just the construction Babe or Hot Mechanic.

  I have moved my Adult work as well as project listing to www.RealWyldOne.com if you are interested in Adult Modeling please take a look at my projects there. You can send your contact information from that site as well.

• Playboy™ style Glamour is similar to FHM ™ & Maxim ™ style in every way except may involve partial to full nudity.
• Artistic Nudes While ideally all Nudes should be Artistic Nudes generally that is not the case.
  • Romantic or Personal images that while the subject is completely without clothes thanks to poses and angles it can be shown anywhere to most anyone without being considered obscene or pornographic.
  • BodyScapes Can vary from Graphic and Revealing to Comical or intense. No faces are visible removing the personal aspect from the image. Can include the full body or tightly cropped images focusing on specific body parts
