I have worked with a large number of models in the last few years (see my references!) but also do a lot of varied photography -- such as travel, events, music gigs and more.

Please note that while I have my professional status set to "Amateur" that is only because I do this as hobby and don't look to make money from it. It does *not* reflect my attitude or the quality of the photos you will receive afterwards! :)
 
Comments:
I split my photography time between travel photography and model photography and have even combined them before. On the travel side, I spend a lot of time in Japan but have recently also travelled to Iceland, Italy, Egypt, Dubai, Costa Rica and various parts of the US.

On the model photography front, I enjoy the variety that photography can provide - from simple fine art nude to colourful, heavily Photoshopped fashion shoots and everything in between. The central theme in all my photography though is personality - I enjoy capturing the emotion, traits and elements that make a model who they are.

On a personal front: I'm 30, based in Reading (with a small, simple but functional home studio!), extremely busy with my "real" job and love socialising with friends. I'm very personable, a half-decent sense of humour and more than willing to experiment with different photography techniques and styles to make the models happy.

As an amateur photographer, I am predominantly looking for models willing to do TFCD/P shoots -- although have arranged many paid shoots in the past. Generally though, if I want to work together and am willing to pay, I'll contact you. :) For TFCD, part-pay or more long-term collaborative ideas, please always pop me a mail.

Please note:
^^^^^^^^^^^^

NO SHOWS: No shows will be left negative feedback and late cancellations will be given 48 hours to reschedule the shoot *themselves*. If no contact is made, negative feedback will also be left. I do blacklist all models who mess around because there are plenty of geniune, lovely, friendly, hard-working models out there who deserve the work that the flakes and wanna-bes try to get.

That said, I am a reasonable guy and probably 75% of cancellations have had a perfectly valid reason and we reschedule and have a great shoot afterwards. :)

CHAPERONES: I don't mind chaperones, although would prefer a friend rather than partner. If you do plan on bringing a chaperone, *please* let me know. Unannounced or obtrusive chaperones will result in a shoot cancellation.

FINALLY: I want to make one thing really clear....I do this for fun! I want to enjoy myself! :) I want the model to enjoy herself (or himself) and always look forward to sharing the results with you all at the end.

Thanks for reading!

James is a really nice guy, he's very easy to get on with which meant we had a great, relaxed shoot. I'm looking forward to seeing the final images.

I highly recommend working with him.
I shall definitely be returning!
