I am a photographer based in the Los Angeles area, also available in the surrounding SoCal areas and Hawaii regularly. I'm available for commercial photography, headshots, promotional portraiture, fashion, beauty and model portfolio development. Please email me at info@tommyshihphoto.com for services and pricing.
I don't do TFP, though I will occasionally cast for personal projects. I just don't do that many anymore due to my schedule being pretty full. Messages asking for TFP will get a reply asking if you'd like my rates for portfolio development.

You know how sometimes you drop something, and you get that feeling in the pit of your stomach but you miraculously recover and catch it in mid air? Yeah, I'm good at that.
I hate dawning realizations about myself. It's not like they ever reveal that I'm a badass or anything.
Have a blessed and Very Merry Christmas!! I pray your 2009 is filled with joy, prosperity, great health, exciting new experiences and new found friends! Hey, stranger things have happened! LOL! Happy New Year!!
