Update on Claiming Masculinity & My Photography

Claiming Masculinity Project Manager PJ Whitt and I have discussed what makes most sense for the continuation of this work.

We've hit upon the following . . .

I will add the galleries of original photos to my redesigned site, in the next few weeks;

Claiming Masculinity will now be closed, except to any of the original participants who are available and interested in pursuing the Project, whom I will continue photograph in updates of their lives, free of charge;

The only exceptions to this policy will be for those new participants to whom I have promised sessions: you will be added to the Project Portfolio, as soon as I am able to meet with you.

I thank each of you for the tremendous amount of interest in this project. I regret my inability to travel more broadly, or to meet with each of you, when I have been on location.

And yes: enough demand will cause me to reopen the project . . . I'm soft that way *s

PJ and I would like to continue offering photography to all AGs, butches, studs, masculine-identified transpersons and intersexed individuals—anyone who was not born "male," but identifies as masculine.

We know some of you don't necessarily wish to be in the "spotlight" of a national project: here, we're branching out a bit, offering our services to the nontraditional masculine individuals who have been patiently waiting for a shoot.

Now is your time to be seen.

If you're new to our work, what PJ Whitt offers is not only assistance on the set: she's the type of butch who can help you redesign your entire wardrobe, in a few emails; help you understand everyday skin and hair care; prepare you for your next job interview or date; and generally advise you on how to always be seen in the "right light."

My job is to make you comfortable in front of the lens, and capture the sides of you never before photographed: your personal best.

So, yes: if you're a nontraditional masculine individual, in need of photos, for your interview; publicity shot; modeling portfolio; training portfolio; websites; or dating personals . . . I still do that.

Get with me about rates. And yes: I still offer a sliding scale.

This season, we're working in the greater NYC and Philadelphia areas. I'm able to do more distant destination photography, with advance notice.

I'm photographing everyone these days, so I'm mad busy . . .

Keep in touch,
