about J. Welborn
Male
A photographer for over 30 years . I have had three commercial studios and I have been published in Catalogs and magazines .
I am retired now and mainly do Art Nudes and Landscapes for gallery display .
While I have hired models for very special projects I have found that the best work is generated when the sessions are a collaboration where the model and photographer have come together to share the creative energies with a specific goal in mind.
In those cases I will share finished full rez images and web size images with the model . A partnership should offer equal rights . As in all shoots some images will be thrown out like day old fish because they just stink LOL
on reading your profile notes I feel that we are on the same page ethically(working with models and the TFP obligation). And your work is fantastic.
Thanks Andrew
It isn't hard to see that you put a deal of thought into each shoot. Some fine work here!
Sincere thanks for the follow.
Your are welcome and yes I do try to plan my shoots
A wide range of successful concepts.
Thanks, I like a variety of subjects and concepts
A very interesting portfolio, full of surprises with a melody of visual emotional content. I have to agree with you, the model that has ideas to explore can only add to, and can often, make or break a shoot.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Thank you and the same goes for your work!
J, your work continues to amaze me. Stephen

Your welcome
You are welcome and thank you,
Sure thing
I see you are on a similar future path and a familiar past. Love the portfolio here. I even owned a VW Camper like you show in one of your photographs. I would bet you're as surprised as I am (maybe not?) on how this industry became so model-centric. In the past models came round with books for go-sees and agency asked us to test with their models. I guess she or he that has the look and talent reigns supreme now. Hope that there are enough discerning models to recognize photographic talent too. You obviously posses it.
So true on all points Philip . I use to shoot for agencies as you mentioned but now days I think they would take images from a cell phone . Girls with a pretty face and minimal talent want to be paid . Now I just shoot for fun and gallery shows .
