As you may have noticed, ADG photo/video projects are rarely shot in studios (even though photo studios can be less expensive). The reason for this is that I prefer locations that look real. Studios often look bland and artificial. A good location greatly enhances the photos and video.

Therefore, I am constantly on the lookout for new locations to shoot at.

Have you ever been curious to see what goes on behind the scenes at a photo/video session, or do you have a residence or commercial location suitable for a photo/video project?

If so, please e-mail me back to discuss the details. Include in your e-mail:

• City and State (locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, LA, Sacramento, Tahoe and Las Vegas are most needed, however I do periodic road trips to shoot in other cities as well)

• Type of location (residential or commercial - if commercial, type of business)

• When the location is generally available (specific weekdays or weekends, day/night)

• Location rental charges (if any)

• General description of location (what rooms are available)

• Any special props (such as unique rooms/furniture, stairways, mirrors, pool table, jacuzzi, etc)

• Limits on type of project (softcore only, etc)

• Any special house (location) rules (for example, no smoking or smoking only in a designated area)

Crews are kept to the absolute minimum. Usually just the model(s)/performer(s), and camera people (sometimes there may be a make-up artist, and some models are accompanied by a chaperone/agent to their projects). You will know in advance the number of people involved.

I ask that you also keep the number of people to the absolute minimum. As you will see, we operate quickly and professionally, and the less distractions and potential for unwanted noise while shooting there are, the better. If you are interested in helping out, let me know, and I can keep you busy (holding a video camera or microphone, helping to move lights, etc).

Generally the set-up (lights, etc) takes one hour, and the breakdown takes half an hour. Most projects take a minimum of two hours shooting time, so I generally try to ensure that the location is available for either four (4), eight (8), or twelve (12) hours. On the 8 or 12 hour shoots, more than one project is generally booked.

ADG provides all of the catering (food/drinks) for the people working on the project and assumes the responsibility to ensure that the location is in the same condition when we leave as it was when we arrived. Also, I do not allow illegal drugs on my sets, so you will not have to worry about that.

Finally, most models are usually fine posing with you for some private photos at the end of the project. However, please ask first, and respect the models - they will tell you what they are comfortable with (and if you are even thinking about asking for sex, forget about it, that isn't going to happen, sorry...that only happens in the movies, lol).
