Experience:
I never know what to write in these things... I claim to be a professional, you'd never know... I kind of fell into shooting models by accident in march 2011. Photography seemed the next logical step for me. I really have no clue what I am doing 'technically' and am going to get caught out soon I think. I point, click, and sometimes it works. I like to be experimental with my work, I can shoot pretty stuff, but I do that enough for my 'normal' job. I like to shoot in a relaxed fashion and not rush - This is my way of saying I am lazy. I dont do machine gun shooting, I'd rather get one or two great images than 50 crap ones. What can you possibly do with 50 images of the same look anyway? REALLY! I like to plan concepts for every shoot and I like models input throughout. I like cake! NO I REAAAAALY like cake. Especially brownies! I am a tea nutter - we have more varieties of tea in the house than we have plug sockets! I also like coffee, lots of coffee! I take bribes in the form of desserts, cigarettes and warm beverages. I wish I was in it for the art, but fun and money are higher up the priority list. All models need to have a sense of humour!

Heres how I roll; I am a full time professional model, and on this site as Ely. Closest stations to me are New Cross and Deptford, I will come and meet you here happily, or in the centre if you are travelling into London. I pride myself on the fact that I treat all models with the highest levels of respect and am nothing but fair. I work with models of any level of experience. If you are new I am happy to direct you. I am a tea addict, there will be breaks after every set, sometimes in the middle too. I allow chaperones if you want to bring someone along. Friends or people in the industry are preffered, no one that will distract you, just let me know. ALL chaperones must be able to make a good brew and hold a reflector. I smoke like a bastard, not indoors though, so you wont choke! I travel all over the country for work, and abroad. I have a place in London and Manchester and have shooting areas in both as well as knowing some great outdoor locations. I'll shoot in your home if suitable or hire a studio also. I can offer accomodation, food and images on all shoots. I only work with people who I will get on with and have fun with. I do this because I enjoy it, I dont want that to change. PAID STUFF: If you work to adult levels (ie explicit) are under 29 and have natural breasts, I may be able to offer you paid work. This work can be every couple of months for the right models. All models are approved before hand. This work is published! If you are top of your genre then I want to hear from you for paid work about events. These are mainly to art nude levels, but I will consider arranging fashion/Alt ones also for the right models; sell yourself to me. If you are exceptionally awesome and work adult levels, I may consider a profit share with you. I dont shoot anything that is not guaranteed to sell, this just means you will make more in the long run. Ask me about this, I can provide refs for other models I have shot this with way. All paid shoots will be on a set rate for the work required. We work at your pace, no pressure or rush. Shoot until its done. FUN STUFF: Not shooting as much TFCD as Id like to be doing. When I do I will look to provide MUA, stylist and wardrobe if necessary. I will want to work on ideas for my projects as well as shots for your portfolio. Nudity not required! Infact no restrictions for TF shoots. I share every edit I do, you can have high res copies to print. If its super awesome, I may buy you a print too. I usually pick one or two on the day to edit there and then if shooting from home, then I drip them through as I do them. I don't give out unedited images or a disc on the day generally. I usually edit 2 or 3 from each look we've done. I try and turn around images fast, its rubbish waiting months for images that you loved but never got!! Im happy to hear what you would like editing, styles etc. I like to work on big concepts, but those ideas are rather wild, controversial but a hell of a lot of fun! Again, you dont need to be nude! I shoot anything and everything! I have a photobook I am currently working on, if we TF I will want to shoot one image for this, you can have a copy of this and print when it all gets put together. No matter what the work is, I ask is you message me properly. I dont do text speak and I am not interested if thats the only message I get. These mails will be ignored. If responding to a casting please do your best to answer all the questions raised. Please please please ask questions if you dont understand. This does not make you stupid, NOT asking does. I feel there should be more writing here for a profesional... suggest something? Please!

What a star. Last minute shoot because I was in London anyway and Ely put me up, cooked me dinner, made me laugh and took some ace pictures.

Great company, gorgeous girl, smart and savvy. And we took some awesome images together.

I can't recommend her enough.
