Experience:
I do not shoot commercially. I am a freelance Photographer with over 18 years of film and lately, digital, experience. I have worked professionally as both a staff photojournalist for a newspaper as well as a freelance photojournalist on and off through out the years. I am skilled in dark room photography, both developing and printing. I have extensive Adobe Photoshop training on both the photography and digital art side. I have worked with a lot of different people of all ages an genders as I specialise in Portraiture.

Comments:
I enjoy what I do as a photographer. I create moodscapes and I meet a lot of great people in my travels. I am not interested in doing anything commercial, I would like to meet people on here that I could photograph on a regular basis as time allows. I do not ask for money and do not expect to be asked for money if you are local. However, if you have to travel more than 30 miles then I will happily discuss compensation for your petrol. I do not work with hair stylists or wardrobe stylists simply because I can not afford to. I rely on the wardrobe that people have in their closets as well as what I can find in second hand shoppes. I prefer to work one on one with people and will only allow an escort at the shoot IF they are there to assist by doing hair, makeup, or helping to fix wardrobe. Otherwise I prefer only myself and the person being photographed in the immediate area. This does not mean someone else can not be there, but they need to be elsewhere in the area if not helping because otherwise they are a distraction. I like people, but when I am working with someone I value my time as well as theirs and want to do the shoot in the least amount of time but still giving it 110%. I can provide an e-mail upon request if you would like to read my model release as well as my photoshoot FAQ.
