Jack Long

I have been fortunate to be able to retire at age 60 from my vocations in the digital imaging field to pursue my hobbies in character modeling, digital photography, and post processing.

Please note...I don't use this site for social networking, so please comment on one or more of my photos to show me you appreciate my work before you send a friend request, and I'll do the same for you. Thanks for your understanding.

In modeling, I enjoy shooting different concepts in almost any genre. I specialize in creating and portraying different characters from my age group, and have not yet failed at creating the character that the photographer has visualized.

More about me:
1. Married to same woman since I was 21, and not looking to change anytime soon.
2. Hair and beard is color is "salt & pepper"
3. Work out almost daily, and I can do most anything physically to get the shot.
4. NASDS, NAUI, & PADI certified diver for underwater shoots.
5. No tattoos (yet) or piercings. I do have a few scars from "indiscretions of my youth".
6. Studying Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu...presently at Black Belt level).

As with all Gods creations, the human form is beautiful (especially woman). However, I won't do porn. Implied nudes are perfectly O.K., I'm not a shy person about my body in a professional and artistic context. If I pose with a female model I would want an escort present for her comfort.

Thanks for the taking time to read my profile. For shoot arrangements, you can contact me initially here at iStudio, or on ModelMayhem http://www.modelmayhem.com/1610930
