"In what I call “Process Photography” there is no final shot…it is just the last one until we shoot again. What halts a shoot is when the eyes of the model begins to tire. There's just nothing you can do about that. A tired eye is a tired eye."
Model: Roger Leysath
"Find someone who can be honest with you. We get caught up in the dream process and may not be living in reality. When you ask for feedback, accept it with openness and a willingness to listen."
Model: Kyle Laird and Inky (lovely cat)
"Having been a teacher for many years and having thirty eight years as a stage director, I love to teach during a shoot. I ask a model to leave what they think they know about modeling at the door, and to be open to working outside of their box. I have also adapted most acting techniques to modeling techniques since modeling is just another form of acting."
Model: CJ Messina
"I am an active shooter versus a passive shooter. Posed shooting is just not me. I love it when the model clicks with the music, the motivation, the emotional tone of the shoot. I “jump into” the shoot when the model comes alive and capture those WOW moments that the model freely gives! It is then I appreciate the creative process."
Model: Jeremy Jett
"Five lessons I learned from my models? A. Everyone can model; not everyone is a model! B. You have to risk going to far to see how far you can go. C. Models really appreciate when you can take the time to teach. D. That modeling is a business, not a morality. E. Some models want to learn that they really aren’t meant to be a model."
Model: Dan (Tony) Linns, PlayGirl Centerfold Jan 07
"Be able to live with rejection. In modeling probably for every one “yes” we may have to hear twenty “no’s” It is not about you! It is simply that on this given day, in this given moment, you are not what someone is looking for. It is not about you not being good looking or not be able to deliver in a shoot. It is simply about you are not the person I am looking for today! Tomorrow you may be exactly what I am looking for."
Model: Dan Cifonelli
"My most memorable experience is very recent. I had been wanting to shoot Dan for almost a year and a half but we could never get it together until the end of May of this year. Dan wanted to be a model so badly, but really didn’t believe. In the course of our four day intensive, Dan began to believe. When that happens within a shoot, it makes it all worth it!"
Model: Sean Douglas
"Trade secrets? A. Most issues you have that need to be corrected will cost less than two dollars to correct them. B. If you can’t handle rejection, you are wasting your time. C. Treat modeling as a business: Develop a business plan; write out goals and objectives and live by them; Establish benchmarks and reach them on plan. D. When it stops being FUN, it’s time to stop! E. Each and every shoot is an equal partnership…the model nor the photographer can survive independently."
Model: Larry McDaniels
"We begin each intensive by doing three different evaluations and share those results with the model so that we can develop a working plan for the shoot. They also allow great growths and awareness in the model’s self-esteem. We also view every photo we take and critique it. I have found that a model begins to honestly find ways to improve in the next shoot by going through this process."
Model: David Troutman
"My current inspirations are Tom Silk, JR Williams and Scott Henrickson from Washington DC."
Model: Rock Sanderson
"Favorites? TV Show would be “So You Think You Can Dance” Website: Google Earth Movies: As odd as it sounds: Lion In Winter and Fight Club Food: Anything Mediterranean Weekend Activity: A really creative new model intensive shoot"
Model: Tony Zinn
"A dear friend of mine’s daughter was graduating from high school and needed her yearbook photos done. A friend of hers recently had lost her mother and didn’t have the resources to hire a photographer to do her shoot. My friend’s daughter asked if I would be willing to help out. It is moments like that where I really appreciate my gift."
Model: Fabien Naquin
"Oops moments? Doing an outdoor shoot of 300 photos without a memory card in the camera! Talk about being red faced!"
Model: Cody Woldt
Photography had been an extension of his career as a stage director, "I have been a stage director a little longer than a photographer. About thirty five years ago, actors started asking me if I would do headshots for them. I became hooked on that creative process as well. Up until about ten years ago, Photography had been nothing more than a hobby though, rather than a profession." It takes a lifetime of dreams to be successful in this industry, but Denny's TheMaleWorld Photography ignites a flame in every new models heart, motivating them to believe in their dreams and potentials, their stepping stones to success. "I began TheMaleWorld ten years ago with the goal of correcting the upside down world we have created in the modeling industry. TheMaleWorld offers totally free service to male models that we identify with potential. I believe that we should help models as much as we can in getting started in the business, while allowing them to keep their integrity and dreams fresh."

"My mom was my first inspiration. Her nickname was “Flash” because she always had her Kodak Brownie camera with her. She encouraged me to do my first shoots."
