WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT?
My handle comes from my persona in the BDSM/Leather/Fetish arena where I live and do the vast majority of my work. I identify strongly with the duality of the Japanese Oni. The title "Professor" is not only an honorific (requested of me by some in the community) but from the fact that at a few times in my past, I made my living teaching at university.

I AM NOT EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA
I realize my style is not at all what many folks want to have in their book or on their wall, and I'm more than OK with that. I don't approach people to participate in my TF projects unless the words and/or images in their port suggest they might already be exploring these genres.

IF I WANT TO PAY YOU, I'LL OFFER
At this time, I have very few paying gigs. If I see "Paid Assignments Only" on your port, I probably won't contact you. If, however your port says "Any" or "Depends On Assignment" and I offer you a TF gig you don't want, just say "no thanks."

F.E.E.E.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm not interested in doing commercial work that doesn't speak to me. As such, I'm well aware that I will likely NOT make any money documenting the lives of folks outside the mainstream. However, we all have expenses. If you like what I do and want me to do it with and/or for you, make me a reasonable offer of something that has value to you in exchange for my skills and time. This Fair and Equitable Exchange of Energy keeps us both honest, sincere and builds good karma. BTW, Lee Harrington gets the credit for introducing me to the FEEE concept.

REFERENCES
Yep, I have them, and will gladly provide them, and expect them from you upon request.

RETOUCHING
While I certainly can do it, I find the "standard" retouching over done and excessive. I enjoy the texture of human skin and rarely do any retouching unless specifically requested (with the exception of obvious temporary marks like acne).

If you shoot with me, you must request this at the time of the shoot. The only people authorized to retouch my photos are myself and those purchasing copyright in addition to my work-for-hire rates.
