BIOGRAPHY
TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHY
In addition to model portfolios, Clayton is at home capturing nature, landscape, fine art, object, still life, product, wedding, and events. If it can be photographed, Clayton can photograph it in a fresh new style. Clayton can also design and print comp cards, head shots, postcards, brochures, graphic and image design and specialty digital darkroom work, image editing and can print almost anything on almost anything. Just ask for more information and what you have in mind.
Clayton was the founder and president of NoVAL (Northern Virginia
Artist League), presentation chair and exhibits chair for CRAG
(Centreville Regional Art Guild) and an active member of CBAG (Colonial
Beach Art Guild) where he did monthly art walks and had his work up
constantly in business locations and galleries for the past two years.
Clayton also received the coveted "Citizen Of The Year" award in 2003
from Centreville, Virginia for his work in promoting the arts in the
community.
Well known for his ability to put a model at ease, so personalities, as
well a model’s intrinsic beauty comes across in the final image. If
this sounds too good to be true, please come see for yourself, as other
have.
TFCD - TFP - DISCOUNTS
Clayton is artist that works in the photographic, digital dark room, water color, acrylic and mixed mediums. As such, he takes his copyright very seriously. Clayton's model release and license agreement says that you "must have the credit and copyright written by the image" (this is above and beyond what is already on the image itself) and also a link to his portfolio on the site you are posting on or to his regular site at http://brusterphotography.com if he doesn't have a portfolio there.
It also states that you "may not" print the images. If Clayton does a shoot with you, he may offer you printed images at 1/2 price but only on special circumstances. DO NOT PRINT THEM WITHOUT MY WRITTEN PERMISSION. Whether you print them yourself or through a commercial printer, he will hold all parties responsible. That's the law as well as part of the agreement.
On tfcd shoots, Clayton guarantees 5 - 15 images per set though he usually gives more, but that's all he guarantees, so anything above that is a bonus.
Allow 10 to 14 days to send out the CD at a minimum. He emails images as he completes them so you are not dependent on the CD for the images and have them quickly. In most cases, you'll have some images within 24-48 hours so. You'll have all the images before he sends the CD. The CD is just a formality.
Clayton will be cutting way back on tfcd very soon but will offer discounted shoots in some cases also.
IF YOU WANT A TFCD SHOOT
If you want a tfcd shoot, you must submit a proposal to me of exactly what you want to do, up to three sets, where you would like to do this, when you are available and tell me if you have a makeup artist or hair stylist. Sometimes I provide one, but not always.

"Clay is the most creative, talented, and professional photography I have worked with. He has a vision for the photoshoot that is shaped by the model's concepts as well.

He has an eye for art and a heart of gold. Thanks for everything Clay!"
