I'm a professional photographer based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have a new 5000sq. ft. studio in Philadelphia and my team and I travel extensively to other cities throughout the United States to provide exquisite photo shoots (mostly with models).

In 1995, I purchased my first camera. It was purchased so I could be able to say that I had a camera. It wasn't until I began producing fashion shows a few years later, that the camera got its actual use. I needed photos to satisfy my diverse portfolio of clients which included, Meoshe Clothing Company, Maurice Malone USA, AND1, and Ocean Pacific to name a few. As a fashion show producer and event promoter I needed to give my clients photos for website and media uses. After several unsuccessful attempts of trying to hire a photographer, I put my camera to use. It took about five more years before I decided to leave my day job and build up the confidence to become a full time photographer. I no longer throw events as such. I put my event experience into throwing photography exhibitions. Today, my work is seen in many magazines, advertisements, posters, calendars, books, galleries, websites and many other online print mediums.

I try to shoot my best with all of my clients. One thing that is for sure, when you shoot with me we are not just taking pictures. It’s a production and you are the center of attention!

I photographed over 5,000 models during my career so far and I have encountered just about every type of model a photographer with experience can have. Many people love my work and I am happy to be loved in such a competitive field. My work can be seen on my official website at www.calvinchilds.com. So please visit the site, and enjoy!
