about Cognito studios
Male
My primary interests lie in an edgier style of portraiture and fine-art nude work. I'm looking to collaborate on a TF* basis, with models who are interested in jointly creating images in any of the styles of work that I have collected in one or more of the following lists: "...Something a little bit different...", "...Subtle sensuality...", "...Artful nudes...", "...Expressions, Connections, Gazes...", "...Implied...". Whilst the option of doing nude or implied work can provide for greater creative flexibility, nudity is NOT a pre-requisite for a shoot and the model's stated comfort levels in this regard are always respected.
I don't work well with an audience, so escorts on the set are a no-no. I'm totally supportive of the model's concern for security and I'm more than happy for you to have your escort drop you off, come in and meet me and collect you after the shoot, but they will not be able to stay in the studio during shooting. All models must be over 18 and will be required to sign a Model Release and present a copy of photo ID prior to the start of the shoot.
"There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures. -James Thurber (1894-1961).
