Welcome and thanks for checking out Beyond Boudoir Photo. I'm Dr. Mike, a very experienced pro photographer. I offer both paid and content-trade shoots to models who fit the profile my fans want to see.
My Location: I'm based near Portland, Oregon where I have a lovely home studio about 20 minutes Northeast of PDX airport. I sometimes rent studio locations in Portland and I enjoy shooting at the model's place if there's enough room. I also love working with models who have private access to a room with a pole for some pole dancing photos.
The purpose of my model shoots is to create erotic photosets that I sell to a small group of upscale, international buyers on a platform called Bentbox where I'm a top 5% creator.
My shoots are always easy, safe, fun and professional. My style is loosely based on the old Playboy pictorials, but a bit more erotic. The tame images I post on IG are chosen to please the censorbot. Shoots last two hours and require full nudity including some open leg poses. There is no sex or touching of any kind. You are welcome to bring one friend if you like.
Model Requirements: My fans want to see models who fit the following description, but it's somewhat flexible. They like pretty models who are cis-female, fit, 18-34, natural B cup or larger, mainstream hair, and most importantly, no large, distracting tattoos or prominent facial piercings. I call this a "girl next door" look.
Models must be over 18, have valid state ID, be willing to show their face and sign a model release form.
My fans have recently started asking me to photograph MILFs, so if you are a fit, 30-50 year old woman without many tattoos, feel free to get in touch.
Model Compensation: For paid shoots I pay a competitive model fee based on the local market as well as the model's look, style and posing experience. The typical range is 100-125 per hour for a two hour shoot. In addition to cash, models receive ten edited images of my choice that are suitable for social media.
Content Trade Shoots: If you need content for online sales, we can discuss a trade shoot where no money is involved and we both sell the images to our own fans. Model requirements are looser than for paid shoots. You receive roughly 500 usable images that you can sell on OF or use any way you like. It takes me 3-5 days to edit and send you the images.
References: The quickest way to check my references is to contact some of the models who have left reviews on this pinned Instagram post. Or, check my profile on Model Mayhem. I have about 80 "credits" there from models I've worked with. Nearly every model says they loved working with me and many come back for repeat shoots.
Quite a few models have chosen me to do their first nude or erotic photoshoot, so it's OK if it's your first. I can provide lots of posing guidance and love chatting about the industry if you like.
