I'm still working on setting up my own network of sites, but a bunch of things, including a shortage of computer power for software development and image processing has slowed me down. I put up a few new images at bodyartist.bodyart.com

I've removed my *art* images from DeviantArt ... read my blog for why. What's up are images promoting the models, or just fluff. http://bodyartist.deviantart.com

TFPModelling.com: All about the art side of photography.

Bodyart.com's Forums: Discuss the body as art in all its forms.

I'm a long time creative photographer, starting over and seeking a select group of models for ongoing creative work.

I'm a member of a growing Pittsburgh area models/photographers network, and alternative imagery groups. [If you are in the Pittsburgh area, please join!]

I have a number of websites I'm working on, and which have opportunities for artists, models, photographers, and others to display their work, body-as-art imagery, and to connect with like-interested others.

I'm looking to find people and friends for artistic collaborations, though it seems mySpace is more for dating, drinking, and chatting up.

I've also been doing ritual and exotic body piercings since waaaay before it was "cool" to have holes below your ear lobes. I've traded piercing and modifications for time in front of the camera, and am looking for models undergoing - or wanting to under go - more extreme piercings and modifications. Pittsburgh isn't the biggest bodyart community, but it's got one.

Obviously, my pictures are not appropriate for this system, but I'll have a moderate gallery available soon, which I'll post a link to. My more extreme imagery is offline at the moment, though I'm working to enhance that body of work for a new on-line gallery by fall.

I have a few "happy" images uploaded, and will probably get some more artsy ones in a few days. Not easy for a guy to come up with a family-safe portfolio, when his vision is older than the hills.

Personally, after years, I'm single again, and seeking a muse for my art, and my life. I want my own family, so children have to be in the plans. I'm not finding a lot of really quality material out there.... Some of what I see even scares me!

For my art: Heavily modified, creatively inclined, good natured women who want to create some kock-your-socks-off-images.

Have traded piercings or other mods for time in front of the camera, and for on-going images of the transformations. Pregnancy is another body modification I'm extremely interested in doing more creative work with.

I'm also seeking the right female body for a body-corset, and a major photo series before, during and after. I'd be willing to trade the services and custom jewelry for a commitment to the photographic and artistic process. Right now I'm only seeking one person, and they need to have the right body type. I'll know it when I see it, and I don't want to discourage anyone from inquiring.

In general, I prefer shorter girls (5'2" and under) and girls with a bit more meat and curves than the current media "ideal." The taller and thinner you are, the more interesting your modifications have to be. It just seems short girls fit the 2x3 or square formats of photography better than taller ones.

There are both paid and TFP opportunities, but no paid opportunities without some TFP work first. Paid work, being less available, is offered to those who earn it by putting in the time before it becomes available. Seems only fair to me!
