My name is Joseph Russo and I am finally following one of my dreams. I've been an amateur photographer for quite a few years now and I'm more than ready to take the next step and work my way into the world of photography as a living. I am mostly interested in portrait type work and this could include anything from a fashion shoot to lifestyle to wedding photography. I'm looking to fill some gaps in my portfolio and in turn help share some of my own creativity through my photographs.

I'm not interested in doing any nude work and will only do a lingerie type shoot if there is a theme or creative idea that calls for it. I'd be willing to do some pin-up type shots. I'm more interested in doing lifestyle/real world shoots out of the studio and on location.

I'd be willing to compensate a model monetarily, but I'd much prefer doing TFP/TFCD. I'm sure we can reach an agreement in some form.

With the above said, I unfortunately will not just give unprocessed .RAW images on a cd to a model. I'm a photographer and I strive for the absolute best out of my work. I take pride in my work and releasing images that aren't up to MY standards is just something I'm not comfortable doing.
I know a model wouldn't want hundreds of images of her floating around where she doesn't look her absolute best, and I don't want hundreds of unprocessed, untagged images of mine circulating either.
I will however take the time to go over either in person after the shoot or more preferably through a private proof gallery on the web, the pictures of the session. From there together we can cull down the keepers and I will do full editing on the requested images. This may increase the turnaround time that most people are used to, but I think it serves both the model and the photographer in the best manner.
