Hello and welcome to the Wild Side of DBatesPhoto.
My name is Don Bates known online as DBatesPhoto. I am a photographer from
Madison, Alabama west of Huntsville about 100 miles North of Birmingham South of Nashville.
While the majority of my
photography is fairly tame these days I got my start
thanks to my wilder side. I spent much of my twenties in local Bars and clubs
working and partying with many of the top Bands on the local
circuit and the Hottest Dancers. North to Nashville,
TN; East to Atlanta, GA and South to the Gulf Coast
Over the years I have met a lot of cool people. When I began
studying photography I got a lot of practice in those same clubs
shooting those bands and dancers and they became my favorite
subjects.
On my primary site
DBatesPhoto.com
you can see the majority of my Portfolio. If you are
a consenting adult over 18 (or legal age in your
jurisdiction) on here you will be able to see some
of my wilder images.
I still have friends in some of
the hottest clubs in the area and you never know
where you may find me shooting or who.
I am currently looking for new models 18 years or
older in the North Alabama area interested in
shooting. Specifically those in a 20 mile radius of
Huntsville, Alabama interested in shooting regularly
and becoming a featured model here on the Wild Side.
I decided it was time for a few changes to DBatesPhoto18up. While I have done the first few changes I hope to do a lot more in the upcoming months.
First things first I hope you will like the new look of the Home Page. Instead of having a useless blog buried I have switched over to a word press blog and put it front and center. This will help with updates which I expect to come more often. It will also give you a little more fresh content once things get going.
Second change is the photo gallery. The classic Albums have been rebuilt with new versions of many of the images you may have already seen along with several new photos only seen by the models and me. Another folder, TVP, has been added to the Latest Shots Album. This is a bit of a grab bag album with photos of some of my favorite models that I haveĀ shot over the past decade.
