Looking for New Models to feature in my Portfolio

Hello and welcome to the Wild Side of DBatesPhoto.

My name is Don Bates. I am a photographer from Madison, Alabama west of Huntsville. Most folks on the web know me as DBatesPhoto.

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.
