Professional Photography For Any Purpose

Fashion/Glamour Model Portfolios, Band Photos, Dating Photos,
Promotional Photos And Photos "Just For Fun"

No hype. No sales pitch. If you're already looking for a photographer, then you already have an idea what you want photos for.

The bottom line is that I care about my work, my clients, and my reputation. I don't ever want anyone to walk away feeling like they were provided with a service that wasn't at least equal to what they paid for it. I sincerely want you to be happy with both my work and my services. I want to be the type of business that I would want to go to.

This is why I keep my rates as affordable as I can afford, instead of doubling or even tripling them to what others are charging. So if you're one who equates "expensive" with "quality" or "less expensive" with "lower quality", then you'd be mistaken in this case and missing out on a good investment.

Sure, you can spend $1,000's of dollars to build up a portfolio if you want, but you really don't have to. Sometimes people spend a lot of money on something to simply reassure themselves that they're getting something of more value than something else. But the vast differences between what one professional photographer charges and another isn't necessarily reflected in the results (although I'll admit it can be). But if you take a look at my galleries and you like my work, then the chances are very good that you'll like the work I do for you, regardless of how little or how much you actually pay for it.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

And yes, in the event that you end up with photos you don't like or for some reason can't use for the purpose they were intended, I provide a satisfaction guarantee. I will always gladly provide free re-shoots to make things right and to make sure you end up satisfied. But also, just to be clear, I do not provide refunds. I provide re-shoots.

Availability Fall 2007

Having formerly provided photography full-time 7 days a week for a number of years, I am now scaling back and diversifying my career interests. Due to project and new career commitments, I am now mainly available to provide photography services during holidays and weekends only.

Although all portfolio packages include head shots, if you are specifically seeking portraits or headshots, please refer to my headshots packages for actors & models.

Make-Up Artists, Hair Stylists, Fashion Stylists: Are not included in my packages. As much as I love and value working with make-up artists, I prefer to work with them on a shoot-by-shoot basis so that my clients will be able to take full advantage of their services as necessary. Many photographers earn extra money by recommending make-up artists or stylists from which they receive a commission or referral bonus. I don't. I prefer to allow my customers to work with those they are comfortable hiring and who can meet their specific needs & budget. It also means that I have no incentive to recommend a make-up artist to you unless I truly feel you will be able to take full advantage of one or that it will significantly benefit you and your photos. However, I will gladly provide you with assistance in hiring someone and can provide you with a list of make-up and/or hair stylists if you desire it. When hiring a make-up artist, consider this: In order to take full advantage of a make-up artist and to get the most out of your scheduled shoot time, I recommend that you arrange to meet with the make-up artist (and/or hair stylist) at your home 30-60 minutes in advance of your appointment and have your initial application of make-up done before you arrive at your shoot. This will minimize the amount of make-up done on location and will also allow us to begin shooting sooner. When shooting on location, if you wish to have your make-up done in advance of your appointment, but also altered during your shoot, it is important that you hire someone who is able to both meet you in advance of your shoot (either at your place or theirs) and who is then also available to work with you at the shoot location. Portfolios & Zed Cards: Despite what you may be led to believe, it is nearly impossible to shoot a complete, effective, and professional looking portfolio in a single day, let alone in under 4 hours. And especially if you've you've never done a shoot before. That's not how an exceptional portfolio (a variety of the best of the best of your shots) is compiled. However, if you're looking to rapidly build up a diverse variety of shots for a portfolio or zed card, I can help you accomplish this as well as anyone. Please don't hold the fact that I'm telling it to you like it is against me. Photographers who lead you to believe otherwise are likely living in an alternate reality.

What my clients are saying:

"Zero is one of the greatest photographers that I have had the pleasure to shoot with! He is very knowledgeable, patient, hilarious and comfortable to be around! I definitely recommend anyone to work with him! I had one of the best times working with him." - Stevi

"Working with Zero was a fantastic experience. He has a great sense of humor and is totally relaxed. I felt totally comfortable working with him and he makes looking good in front of the camera much easier! He has a unique style and I love the shots I've gotten from his shoots. He never gets tired and has a real passion for photography! I would refer any model to him anytime." - Eleni

"Zero Dean is a great photographer with natural talent. Not only is he professional, but his outgoing personality would help anyone feel comfortable. He will shoot until you feel good about the session. As a relatively new model, he helped me to become more confident and relaxed throughout the shoot. Zero is very creative and imaginative, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with him." - Erin K Sullivan

"I have worked with numerous photographers...and Zero is by FAR the best, his work is so amazing because he has a way of bringing out each persons individual personality in their photographs.

Before working with Zero a lot of my pictures I noticed seemed so blah, and not really me, but after looking over Zero's photos, I can see a lot of my fun loving attitude shining through.

He has a great way of making you feel comfortable right off the bat, I didn't even get time to be shy, he immediately made me laugh. I loved how Zero not only thought about himself, but what I wanted and what I thought would look good; not many photographers take the models point of view into their work. He has a way of making you look and feel beautiful throughout the shoot, and is very professional.

All and all Zero is a great guy with a knack for taking gorgeous photos, and capturing a life within each picture that I never knew was possible, I really hope I get the chance to work with him again, and I give my recommendation to any model that really wants to stand out. Work with Zero he's an awesome guy and you will LOVE your photos. Thanks sooo much Zero!" - Erin Good
