Hire her she is super. Call me for her number.

Lately, we see more skill flow then cash flow

I stay away Time for whatever as much as possible.
I prefer Time for money like everybody out there.
I always cherry pick TFP candidates, to make sure they can also bring something original to my portfolio.
Since a lot of people ask me the same thing every day over and over again I want to clarify My TF(P-CD) policy and conditions once for all.
My Time For your time, barter style shoot cooperation has several limitations.
1- I only do vintage, fetish, bondage, erotic and beauty portfolio work on TFx basis.
For your head shots you can easily find another photographer. Head shots are a total waste of my time.
2- I work TFP only with female models 18-36. No TVs, TGs, no exceptions.
3- All my TFx shoots require full nudity at one time or another during sets. It is done the way I see fit meaning my way, not yours. If you have reservations and limitations for nudity, I will say it again, just pay for my time and pose the way you want. When you pay for my time you own my work, not the other way around.
4- Models supply make up, hair, and location. If I do you bet I will charge for it.
5- My TFx model agreement form must be signed prior to shoot. Ask me to send you a copy before the shoot.
6- I will offer only 10 best shots per hour yield from time spent shooting with you. I can use the whole shoot yield any way I see fit.
7- I can only allocate 2 hours for TF work and will not accept to travel longer then 1 hour.
If any one of the above is not acceptable to you please either pay for my time to work with me any way you want or do not contact me at all.

Concerns and issues with shooting in lingerie and or nudes.

Often time having a female photographer shooting you is not the solution. Remember your goal. You are posing for a reason. You need all kinds of looks in your port. Your beauty shoot is just another casting for your photographer male or female, unless you are shooting with a pervert or guy with camera. They say that if you work with a female photographer, that would help you feel more comfortable with nudity. So be it but that does not necessarily translate into sexier or more alluring images. In fact I claim that no woman can direct a shoot that can capture sensuality of a woman like a man. Our point of view, even the definition of what is sexy is different.
I can only talk about myself. Before I work with a model I discuss everything. If you want to bring an escort it is fine. Your body for me is like clay, I mold it the way it need to be molded in order to show the best of you. It is as simple as that!

Welcome to modeling and photography world.

The good advice is always free, so get some since you are here browsing and wondering if I can hire and work with you.

There are out there a lot of models looking for work. There are often more models available then high paying jobs. This is the norm not exception. If you disagree you will learn it the hard way. Just like there are zillions of photographers out there I too, must compete for work. When I put out a casting do not send me your rates, because you will get whatever the market bears or I can afford to pay you. So do not be greedy during this bad economy. Get busy, meet industry professionals and be available and around. If not someone else will get the job, while you will be waiting most of your time for high paying gigs.

I cherry pick my models when I sponsor paid gigs to produce material for resale. When I am hired and I am asked if I can supply models I will always recommend those models who worked with me not for me, meaning that they really cared about successful outcome rather then amount of pay they were getting.

When I hire models, I really do not care what kind of experience they have how long they have been modeling and what kind of performance they demonstrated to other photographers and producers. What I care is what can they do for my production needs. Therefore sending extensive resumes do not impress me a bit. My attitude is; so what. Everybody has experience. Each job is a new experience gained.

I am really a nice guy but not born yesterday either. I will put it to you bluntly: If you are so professional do not party the night before our shoot, don't get drunk and don't go to bed at 3 am and flake me half hour before our shoot the next day by texting some bull, like, you won’t be able to make it because you have puffy eyes, or your grandma died.

I don’t like much to work with divas so if your internet alias has mistress or goddess in its prefix or suffix you better be a real sweetheart inside, because I can't stand the big mouths and show offs and will not be bossed around by arrogent people that act as if we can not do without them.

Job opportunities with Varton Photography

I am probably the best kept secret in erotic boudoir and fetish photography. I get contacted by clients from broad range of interests. Night Club owners, webmasters, business owners, Catalog companies asking me to shoot custom work all the time.
There is no question; it is expensive to keep a pro photographer on the payroll, regardless of what kind of business you are running. Obviously in this dog eating dog market and crammed with new comers every day, any business must reinvent itself. And you can not accomplish that by taking your own photos or get a friend with camera. I am amused to see the proliferation of cheap DSLRs making anybody act as a photographer. And sometime even with good DSLRs those people still take bad pictures and lack creativity, and knowledge.
I am happy to observe that even in a tight marketplace and in bad economy my work is still in demand and remain very attractive to many clients because of my consistent high quality work, ability to cast the right talents in my bookings and extensive knowledge of many niche markets and know how acquired many years on the job.
