Experience:
Many thanks for dropping by to look at my profile..

Whilst my model photography has been based in the UK, I have undertaken shoots internationally in the US, Germany and Israel for the marketing of industrial fluids globally. As a photographer I prefer to employ models with strong portfolios; however, I will not rule TF out despite the unprofessional behaviour of a few.

Although I use a studio, I love to shoot on location in fields, old buildings, woodlands, beaches, mountains and waterways. Models do not live in white backgrounds or predictable lighting, for me they come alive in the background nature has given us to enjoy.


A little about me...

I am 43, married and pride myself on being professional at all times. I am always happy to undertake any work with models who are looking to gain experience or build a portfolio which could be beneficial to both parties on tfp/cd basis. As of February 2010 I have a aquired a studio which has increased my scope of work and a broader remit.

And finally,

I maybe an amateur but my approach and attitude to photography is professional and as such I would like to be treated the same manner. If you are serious about working with me then please have the kindness to give me at least 48 hours prior to any cancellation.

Chaperones and References

I fully accept the need for model security and can provide references from previous assignments. I am always willing to accept chaperones on locations and studio shoots; however, these are limited to one per model unless accompanied by both parents or guardians.

Work Ages

I love to photograph and have undertaken work with women and men af all ages. I have no upper limit; however, I do have a strict lower limit and a very strict policy on content. I will shoot women who are 17 but they MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian, a consent form must be signed and ages verified. These shoots can only be portrait and fashion.

Other information

I am currently seeking to forge a long term co-operation with a local model to work on new projects. These shots will include both location and studio work in a varity of styles.

If you feel this is of interest, please contact me via PM stating - long term co-operation.

Met Simon yesterday for a shoot... he was welcoming and made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Gave direction very well and knew exactly what style of pics he wanted, he was also happy to let me work with no direction during part of the shoot. Pleasure to work with, would recommend to any1 and hope to work together again in the future :) Thanks Simon, Kate x
