Destiny,
Mark at 18th and Vine is extremely professional, not creepy, and not just a "guy with a camera" who wants to take your pics just so he can see you naked. He also does not want to trade services for services. He works hard for his money and he deserves every penny. He is not a hobbyist, he is simply a photographer who works well with adult entertainers and does not judge your lifestyle. He listens to the ideas that a model has, and adds his input. I personally think he is very creative and does a great job on every girl's pics that I have seen. A lot of the men on here think his work is great, too. It's been commented on in several threads before. He's actually a very nice guy, who I am proud to now call a friend. He's never once made me feel uncomfortable or like he was "out of line". Once, after shooting pics for 12 hours, it was very late and dark out and I didn't want to drive all the way back to Wichita, so he graciously let me sleep on his living room couch, and not ONCE did he try to do anything appropriate. Yes, part of his studio is in the basement of his house, but what was not mentioned is that his entire property is actually a "studio" for indoor or outdoor shoots, and he also has a huge studio behind his house that has multiple props/settings in it...but it is reserved for girls who actually show up to their scheduled shoots and don't flake out on him repeatedly. His quality and prices are more than fair, and I honestly believe that you would find it to be not only a good investment, but a fun experience. I hope you give him a try. If you want his contact info please PM me.
Kisses,
Staci
