Pixacom: How long have you been doing photography?
Josh Gallo: I’ve always been interested in photography but I really started pursuing it about a year ago.
Pixacom: Did you take any photography classes?
Josh Gallo: I had a few black and white classes in high school and college.
Pixacom: How did you get started photographing beautiful women?
Josh Gallo: It all started with a girl named Rachel, haha. When I was about 20 I started taking pictures of my friend Rachel and I’ve been interested ever since.
Pixacom: How did you feel with your first model shoot?
Josh Gallo: A year ago I decided this is something I want to do. So, I went out and bought my first DSLR. I asked a girl, who is actually a featured model on this site, if she would pose for me. I was really nervous. I remember my hands sweating like crazy but I think I got one of my favorite pictures that day.
Pixacom: Would you say you are pretty comfortable now?
Josh Gallo: When I get behind my camera now the world just seems to quite down. I can’t really explain it but I feel completely free and I’m able to just create.
Pixacom: Where would you say you get your inspiration from?
Josh Gallo: I think for most of my life I’ve been very practical. I chose a career path based on security and money instead of happiness. A year ago my cousin, best friend and brother all rolled into one, that I lived with died. He lived his life completely different then I did. He was an artist and he seemed to have a passion for life that I had forgotten. His motto was Create, Inspire, Destroy. Since his death I’ve reevaluated what makes me happy. I think it’s his energy that drives me to follow my dreams. Daniel Karl Frank this ones for you brotha..jpg)
Pixacom: What would the average model say about your style of photography?
Josh Gallo: I guess you’d have to ask them. I would imagine they say it’s different then what most model photographers out there are shooting. I feel I’m still trying to find my style. Every shoot I try new things and just strive to learn everything I can.
Pixacom: What type of camera equipment are you shooting with today?
Josh Gallo: I can’t afford the pro equipment yet but I love my canon 40d. I don’t think it really matters right now though. I could be using a rebel and getting the same results.
Pixacom: Is there any equipment you'd love to have?
Josh Gallo: I’m a simple guy, I’m not big on fancy equipment but I wouldn’t mind having a Canon 1Ds Mark III or a Hasselblad CF-39.
Pixacom: What are your opinions on digital vs. film?
Josh Gallo: I think you have to understand film development to really develop your digital images but with that said digital is an amazing medium and I don’t really have a need for film these days..jpg)
Pixacom: Do you work with a modeling agency?
Josh Gallo: Nope but I wouldn’t mind it.
Pixacom: Are there any websites you would suggest for photographers looking to break into the business?
Josh Gallo: I guess Model Mayhem. It’s given me the opportunity to work with some beautiful women without costing me any money. Actually it has helped me make money.
Pixacom: What's the best part about working in model photography?
Josh Gallo: I’d say the hours of staring at my computer developing pictures or maybe working with gorgeous half naked chicks; I’m not sure.
Pixacom: What's next for your portfolio?
Josh Gallo: Just learning and trying out new ideas.
Pixacom: Have you been requested to travel for your photography?
Josh Gallo: Nope but I’m taking request.
Pixacom: If you had the opportunity to shoot a celebrity actress who would that be and why?
Josh Gallo: I just saw Transformers for the first time last night and I can’t get Megan Fox out of my head.
Pixacom: What female music artist would you like to work with?
Josh Gallo: That Hannah Montana girl so the media can blow my very innocent works of art way out of proportion. Conservative, religious 
Pixacom: Where do you see your photography taking you 5 years from now?
Josh Gallo: Hopefully around the world. There is so much beauty out there that needs to be seen from my perspective.
Pixacom: Anything you'd like to say to all the models reading this right now?
Josh Gallo: Yes I am single and would be happy to buy you dinner.
Pixacom: Last call. Anyone you wanna give a shot out to?
Josh Gallo: My family, the most important thing in my life.

Pixacom: How long have you been doing photography?
Erick Kush I have been doing photography for 12 years. However, I’ve been doing it mainly on the commercial side though. Creating product shots, catalogs, advertising was and is my forte. I have been photographing models for about 3 years now though.
.jpg)
Pixacom: Did you take any photography classes?
Erick Kush I graduated from Pepperdine with degree’s in Computer Science / Business. I took a lot of electives in graphic design. They offered the minor program the year after I graduated so I might have done a self made minor in graphic design. Then I took classes at OCC in Orange County with photography. But I was doing photography well before that.
Pixacom: How did you get started photographing beautiful women?
Erick Kush Aw, the age old question: how do you get to do what every man wants to do. Well, as I said, I was doing a lot of photography with commercial products and had a lot of equipment already stored up. So I decided to take the next step. I think my true passion would be high fashion, so I took the next logical step.
.jpg)
Pixacom: How did you feel with your first model shoot?
Erick Kush Oh, I was nervous. I was thinking to myself, if I screw this up they are going to get pissed at me. I better make sure that I get the right stuff!
Pixacom: Would you say you are pretty comfortable now?
Erick Kush As with most things, the more you do it, the more comfortable you feel doing it. So now it’s fairly easy and comfortable. I love to joke around and take a more comical standpoint. At the same time I love to make the model feel sexy. It really brings it out in the pictures.
.jpg)
Pixacom: Where would you say you get your inspiration from?
Erick Kush I get my inspiration from a lot of things. The more you start photographing the more you start seeing the world as what a good location would be to shoot at. You start looking at other peoples work and getting ideas on how I would have shot that scenario. Just the beauty around us is something that makes you want to capture it in one magnificent picture. Women and the female body, I believe, are one of God’s greatest creations.
.jpg)
Pixacom: What would the average model say about your style of photography?
Erick Kush They say that they like my vibrant colors and stance of how they look.
Pixacom: What type of camera equipment are you shooting with today?
Erick Kush I’m a huge canon fan! And their “L” series lenses cannot be touched. Arri tungsten lights are fantastic, but also Alien Bee strobes are great for location shots.
.jpg)
Pixacom: Is there any equipment you'd love to have?
Erick Kush I would love to have a Hasselblad with a P 45+ phase one digital back. That set up makes me drool.
Pixacom: What are your opinions on digital vs. film?
Erick Kush I was trained originally on film. But now that digital has jumped leaps and bounds, I think it really is the only way to go. It just skips so many steps in the darkroom that the trade off is so much more worth it.
Pixacom: Do you work with a modeling agency?
Erick Kush No, but I have worked for modeling companies.
.jpg)
Pixacom: Are there any websites you would suggest for photographers looking to break into the business?
Erick Kush Oh definitely. There are some great companies that you can do photography workshops for. There are just so many that you can google. Just make sure you do your research. One of my favorites clothing companies I have worked for is Teaseum.com.
Pixacom: What's the worst experience you've had working in model photography?
Erick Kush A model hadn’t seen any of my work or knew if I new anything about photography. She treated me as if I was beneath even looking at her. One of the mightier than thou moments. Needless to say, I shot a few pictures and said, “Ok, you can leave now.”
.jpg)
Pixacom: What's the best part about working in model photography?
Erick Kush You get to meet so many people that are energetic and willing to see what type of art you can produce for them. Even if it’s just a simple shoot.
Pixacom: What's next for your portfolio?
Erick Kush Ooo, I’d like to get some heavy sci-fi type stuff. Fashion with a sci-fi twist.
.jpg)
Pixacom: Have you been requested to travel for your photography?
Erick Kush Yes, I’ve flown out to Jamaica and was asked to fly to a private island in the Bahaman’s. I also travel to Las Vegas and all over Southern California quite a bit.
Pixacom: If you had the opportunity to shoot a celebrity actress who would that be and why?
Erick Kush I would love to photograph Heidi Cloom. She is just so incredible with her natural beauty, that you can do most any type of scenario with her.
Pixacom: What female music artist would you like to work with?
Erick Kush Actually Janet Jackson. I think she has a lot of charisma and personality. All of that shows in your pictures.
.jpg)
Pixacom: Have you had any of your photography work published commercially?
Erick Kush Yes of course, but mainly product work.
Pixacom: Where do you see your photography taking you 5 years from now?
Erick Kush To a new understanding of the human response on any type of photograph. I would love to be in a spot where everyone in a particular industry says, “If you want the best, you go to Erick.”
Pixacom: Anything you'd like to say to all the models reading this right now?
Erick Kush Don’t be afraid to let the photographer create art. You might be pleasantly surprised as to what they might do.
Pixacom: Last call. Anyone you wanna give a shot out to?
Erick Kush My Parents, my brother and sister in law. To all my family and friends. Last but not least, TeaseUm!

Pixacom: How long have you been doing photography?
Dusty Austin: 30 plus years
Pixacom: Did you take any photography classes?
Dusty Austin: No formal classes, but did attend every workshop that I was able to attend, apprenticed under anyone that would have me
Pixacom: How did you get started photographing beautiful women?
Dusty Austin: Just lucky I guess, actually it has been a lifelong ambition
Pixacom: How did you feel with your first model shoot?
Dusty Austin: A little nervous, but it was her first time also and a friend
Pixacom: Would you say you are pretty comfortable now?
Dusty Austin: You would not believe how comfortable I am, it is like another personality took over my body
Pixacom: Where would you say you get your inspiration from?
Dusty Austin: Ken Marcus, J Steven Hicks, Bob Clarke, Dean Collins, Gary Bernstein, Helmut Newton, Peter Gowland, Bunny Yeager and Hugh Hefner
Pixacom: What would the average model say about your style of photography?
Dusty Austin: I have been told I have a "Maxim" style of photography
Pixacom: What type of camera equipment are you shooting with today?
Dusty Austin: I have all types from 4x5 view camera to medium format but lately its mostly digital, my newest toy is the new Nikon D300
Pixacom: Is there any equipment you'd love to have?
PhotographerResponse:[Dusty Austin] always some new glass (lens's) a digital back for my Bronica would be nice
Pixacom: What are your opinions on digital vs. film?
Dusty Austin: Film will teach you the discipline needed to be a great photographer, digital is nice I like it very much, but it spoils the photographer, makes them lazy. New photographers just starting out are totally relying upon the pure quantity to pull them through the shoot rather than working on just quality alone.
Pixacom: Do you work with a modeling agency?
Dusty Austin: Not any more, got tired of cranking out cookie cutter model images
Pixacom: Are there any websites you would suggest for photographers looking to break into the business?
Dusty Austin: There are so many out there to learn from, Fred Miranda's site is great as is Robert Farbers, now if you really want to test your worth on a worldwide scale then by all means go to Photosig and be a contributor, just be prepared to have thick skin, but it will teach you a lot about yourself. Now on just the glamour side there are several sites Onemodelplace.com, Model mayhem. Glamour 1 to name a few. I still participate on all those sites.
Pixacom: What's the worst experience you've had working in model photography?
Dusty Austin: Well one model sticks in my mind, she had a problem communicating with me on her particular needs, she showed up three hours late for the session, wanted me to change my backdrops before she would even consider shooting, so the nice guy I am did so, it still wasn't to her liking went back to original like I suggested in the first place, we shot a few images , did a wardrobe change, took her an hour just to change I stopped after three hours told her we had all the stuff we needed, she said she would like to shoot with me on location, well stupid me agreed, I wanted to do some street scenes any way, so we set a date and a time, explained to her about time being very important for lighting, morning of the shoot she calls me when I was on the way to the location (40 miles away) said she was tired, partied a little late last night and could we move it back a couple hours, well I knew her two hours were going to turn into more, so I told her sure and turned around and went home, never heard from her again.
Pixacom: What's the best part about working in model photography?
Dusty Austin: It has to be the oohs and aahs that I receive
Pixacom: What's next for your portfolio?
Dusty Austin: Working on some retro pin up stuff
Pixacom: Have you been requested to travel for your photography?
Dusty Austin: Oh yes a lot of times and yes I do travel

Photographer Name: Joe Rainey
Nationality: American
Hometown: Pensacola, Florida
DOB: July 30, 1964
Sign: Leo
Website Links: www.MySpace.com/joecoolphotos www.modelmahyem.com profile 417023
Pixacom: How long have you been doing photography?
Joe Rainey: I’ve been taking pictures for several years, but I’ve only done professional imaging for a little over a year. TO me, there’s a huge difference between pictures and images.
Pixacom: Did you take any photography classes?
Joe Rainey: No. I studied with a 30 year professional glamour photographer. He taught me about light, angles, creativity and post production. He took me from taking pictures, to making images.
Pixacom: How did you get started photographing beautiful women?
Joe Rainey: I’m a guy, and guys love to look at beautiful women. One day I decided, why should I just look at the photos, when I can create them myself. Of course my profiles have sample images as my main image, and I get hit on by guys several times a day. I hate disappointing them, but I tell them I’m not the pretty models. I just now told one guy I was a straight male photographer. He wrote me back and said, “So you’re not the girl in the picture”?
Pixacom: How did you feel with your first model shoot?
Joe Rainey: As nervous as a virgin on prom night. I thought photographing beautiful women would be a piece of cake. Was I ever wrong! I was shaking like a leaf in a hurricane, and sweating worse than a cold beer on a hot day. I got through the shoot ok, and the pictures turned out just fine.
Pixacom: Would you say you are pretty comfortable now?
Joe Rainey: There’s nothing better than creating a great image for a beautiful model. I love hearing, “ewww, I love that one, and that one, and oh, I just love this one”! Creating those responses, from some of the most beautiful women in the country, requires that I make them comfortable with me, and that I’m comfortable, and confident in myself as a professional. I work with the pretty girls next door, and work with full-time professional models. I’m very comfortable with every beautiful woman that steps in front of my camera.
Pixacom: Where would you say you get your inspiration from?
Joe Rainey: I get inspiration from a variety of resources. But once a shoot begins, and we’ve done some routine poses, the model begins to get loose and comfortable, and I just say, “Work the camera”. The next thing I know, we’ve created some fantastic images together – the two of us. No great image is without collaboration; it takes a great model, so models themselves are the best inspiration of all.
Pixacom: What would the average model say about your style of photography?
Joe Rainey: I have women all across the country asking me to come there to photograph them, and women driving up to 6 hours just to work with me, and get my images for their portfolios. I have had nothing but positive feedback from all models I’ve spoken with, from new to amateur, from experienced to full-time professionals. I even have some models that will come in a minutes notice if I ask them to shoot again. That speak volumes about how the models feel about my style and my images. In words, they say they just love my creative, diverse style, and can’t wait to work with me.
Pixacom: What type of camera equipment are you shooting with today?
Joe Rainey: I use a Nikon D100 camera, with Interfit flash lighting and reflectors.
Pixacom: Is there any equipment you'd love to have?
Joe Rainey: I’d LOVE to have some more lights, hot lights, a generator, and another computer with a larger monitor. All in good time.
Pixacom: What are your opinions on digital vs. film?
Joe Rainey: Why is this the hardest question to answer? Film is not outdated. It’s the preferred method for most pure, photographic artists. It requires technical perfection. Digital is a great tool, it creates fantastic images, and images you can review immediately, and make corrections to lighting and poses right away. It’s also cheaper, especially since most portfolios and even magazines are going online, I can create web images easier, and give the models and my clients exactly what they want, and quicker.
Pixacom: Do you work with a modeling agency?
Joe Rainey: No. I wouldn’t rule out working with an agency, but I love the freedom to choose who I want to photograph, and where and when. If an agency would want to use me, I would be honored. I just wouldn’t want to take something I love so much, and turn it in to a job.
Pixacom: Are there any websites you would suggest for photographers looking to break into the business?
Joe Rainey: My best suggestion is Model Mayhem. There some fantastic forums and discussions that take place. I would suggest finding a topic you want to know more about, and read the various responses. There’s no formula for success, but by reading the postings there, you can get a better idea of what it’s like to be a model photographer, and what you might read may even make you think twice about doing it. I love what I do, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I tell people who envy me, it takes on average of 10 hours to create 1 great image. That includes marketing, networking, model searches, location searches, interviewing, photo selection, editing and so on. This is a business, like any other business, and it isn’t easy. Be committed! And yes, it does have its fun days and perks too!
Pixacom: What's the worst experience you've had working in model photography?
Joe Rainey: I hadn’t been working with models for very long, but had an opportunity to shoot with a full-time Playboy model. Talk about being nervous. It was an outside shoot with a car, and this was summer in Florida, and that means rain. Her travel schedule was extremely tight, and I had few chances to work with her on this project. The first day we cancelled because of thunderstorms. The next day started out beautiful, but the evening brought more rain. She came over to the location and we shot anyway. Someone held an umbrella over me, and someone else held a picnic table umbrella over her. It rained, but I got my shot. It was the strangest shoot that either of us had done. That was the day I learned to be prepared for anything.
Pixacom: What's the best part about working in model photography?
Joe Rainey: It sounds so cliché, but the best part is the people you meet, including the models themselves. I wrote a blog once about friendship and loyalty in this business. Modeling and photography can be cut-throat at times. I said I don’t want to fit in to that stereotypical mold, and because of it I may never succeed in this business. But if I meet some great people, and forge true friendships, then I’m happy and blessed to have been a photographer. My career has taken off, and those people are still my friends. A couple of the models, including professional models, have even become my closest friends. Cliché it may be, but I can call some of the hottest women in the country on the phone, and just talk about life. Not too shabby for an over 40 guy who gets carded at the burger joint by a high school kid at the register - AARP carded that is. I couldn’t even lie to get the discount.
Pixacom: What's next for your portfolio?
Joe Rainey: I’ve worked a lot with models and cars and choppers. There’s a whole world of great glamour imaging to explore, and I intend to explore it all. I’d like to work with some qualified models on some FHM or Maxim Style glamour, and venture away from just bikini shoots. It’s about being creative, and exploring the possibilities. Too many people want the same image, just a different face. While that’s great, and I love it, there’s too many opportunities for great images than just a hot model in a skimpy bikini (and no, I’m not complaining about that J ).
Pixacom: Have you been requested to travel for your photography?
Joe Rainey: I am constantly being asked to travel. I have models across the entire South that want me to photograph them, and as far away as Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, New York and Michigan. If I had a sponsor, or if it were a paid shoot, I’d be there in a minute. I have traveled throughout Florida and in to Georgia, but traveling isn’t always in my budget. I will be going to Los Angeles in February to work with some of the country’s most beautiful and talented models for a calendar project, and I’m extremely excited about this opportunity.
Pixacom: If you had the opportunity to shoot a celebrity actress who would that be and why?
Joe Rainey: I take back one of my previous answers. This is now the toughest question. But I will answer the first name that popped in to my head when I read this question – Salma Hayek. Salma is one of the most gorgeous women in the world. She displays charm, class, style grace and dignity. I have a list of a thousand names of women I’d love to photograph, but Salma is at the very top of that list.
Pixacom: What female music artist would you like to work with?
Joe Rainey: I’m a country boy. I enjoy all kinds of music, but I’m country from head to toe. I could say Faith Hill or Shania Twain, but my answer is still Sherrie Austin. Sherrie has had a few albums, and several hit songs, but her beauty is beyond comparison. There isn’t a photographer in the world that wouldn’t love to have her images in their portfolio. She’s simply stunning, and a very down to earth woman.
Pixacom: Have you had any of your photography work published commercially?
Joe Rainey: My work can be regularly seen on www.starwear.us, and will be featured quite heavily in DIPstick Magazine (I’m a staff photographer for them now). My work has also appeared in Cruisin Magazine, www.ironhorserestorations.com, and will be appearing in Gauge Magazine. I’ve shot calendars and images for www.71skylinegt-r.com , www.floridaagainststreetracing.com , and the Skyline Beauties projects www.myspace.com/skylinebeauties . I’m also working on creating a military and patriotic deck of playing cards, with proceeds going to charities that support families of fallen soldiers. I have other sponsors looking to do some projects, so there are a lot of new and exciting things coming.
Pixacom: Where do you see your photography taking you 5 years from now?
Joe Rainey: My plan is to be one of the most requested glamour photographers in the country, right alongside Justin Price, Vincent Pierce, and Onyx Photography, just to name but a few. When you see their name on an image, you know you have quality work, and respect in the industry. I plan on having my work seen in many of the major, mainstream publications, and have a team of people to help edit and market. Of course, I’d settle for someone just to help answer my phone and e-mails right now.
Pixacom: Anything you'd like to say to all the models reading this right now?
Joe Rainey: Persistence, practice and patience. I’ve read so many profiles of models that say NO TFP or CD (Time For CD or Print), or they won’t work without a full team (hair or make up artist, etc), but their portfolios contain nothing more than point and shoot pictures and even cell phone pictures. Very few models make it to the top, and are able to travel the country. The ones that did have paid the price: strict diets, the gym, and a lot of photo shoots – even the free ones. Take each professional opportunity to practice your art, learn your poses and facial expressions, and learn from your mistakes. Modeling isn’t always about getting paid, though that’s the goal of each of professional. I spend 16 hours a day, 7 days a week at my career. I’m dedicated to being the best. If you want to be a professional model, then be committed and be the best.
Pixacom: Last call. Anyone you wanna give a shot out to?
Joe Rainey: Please don’t take this as an inclusive list, but I would love to give a shout out to Kelly M. Bentley, a professional model, a role model and more importantly a great friend. There’s Dusty for teaching me about light (amongst a thousand other things), and Jayda Nicole and Cassie for being great models and close friends. Finally, a shout to Wayne, my business partner and best friend, who pushes me to be a better photographer and person.
