Ok, guess it's time I clearly explain this... Since I've received a few requests now to use my photos for a variety of purposes...

The answer is "No, my photos are not stock, they can't be used, modified, copied, referenced or whatever..."

I will explain why...

1. The agreement I have with my models (a lot of whom are also close friends) is that the photos will not be used or modified by someone other than myself or the model. I value the trust they have put in me to make sure that the portrayal of them or the concept we created together will remain under our control. If I gave permission to use the photos I lose part of that control and in a sense I violate the trust of my friends and creation partners and I will never accept doing that.

2. I feel that the images I create with the models are very personal... I and the model put a lot of ourselves in the work and I can't stand to see it modified, copied or used... When that happens I feel it is no longer as much mine and that I lose the part of myself I've put in the project and in the photo.

I hope everyone now understands why I refuse to have my photos used but whether or not you understand or agree with my reasons, this answer is pretty much final... Just to be clear, this applies to all my photos on my gallery here, and all the sites to which I or my models have posted photos...

Of course, I am available to create commissioned photos that would be created especially for the requester/client to use.

Thank you for your understanding and respecting my wishes!
