Experience:
Photographic Artist - Hikari (Member - Beureau of Freelance Photographers) Despite my Japanese name LOL I am English, based in the south west of england working predominantly in commercial and social photography fields. The main bulk of my work is published far and wide from magazine spreads to web pages. I have worked for a diverse mix of clients and continue to work with many of the same clients to this day; 5* Hotel groups like Hyatt, Rosewood and the Four Seasons, luxury brands, top hair salons and night club chains as well as social documentary style weddings and portraiture. That gives you a flavor for some of my commercial work and experience over the past 11 years as a pro photographer. I love working with people and have been fortunate enough to be able to work with great individuals and companies. Having at one point worked for who ever wanted to commission me. I have now decided to strive to work for companies & individuals with a passion for ethical, sustainable or creative focus. We work for organic clothing companies, musicians and food producers and retailers who practice "conscious" business pracices to bring quality, positivity and joy to the world :-) Jai! I am here in order to network with models for paid commercial jobs with my agency but mainly to pursue my artistic vision for artistic work and collaborations. I am part of a creative group of photographers that runs training's, workshops and photographic holidays where we explore the medium with like minded photographers and models interested in genuine "art work". Experienced in shooting and teaching with available light as well as location and studio lighting I offer training's and one to one tuition to photographers both in the UK as well as taking groups Spain + Portugal these are offered to genuine togs wanting to learn and develop together with great models in great locations. Some taster images of our locations below.

Commercial Advertising & Stock Photography Serving Ethical Brands & Companies Model Opportunities: 1. We seek natural looking earthy rustic models for commercial and stock shooting usually aged in 20's + 30's but some older models are also considered. Mainly female models required but men also required so please feel free to get in touch. 2. Naturally beautiful photographic models for yoga, fitness and well-being photographic modeling again mainly women in 20's + 30's for a mix of assignments. 3. Artistic models for artistic shoots from lingerie to nude / pure nude style shoots. We shoot to meet levels from lingerie up to nude on artistic dependent on suitable models. Models must be natural, no implants please, and have a great figure and features. Models we work with are again typically from 18 - 30's. This work is studio & location based dependent on the model and theme 4. Erotic art shoots, more edgy experimental location based work. _________________ TFP is a term cheapened by a lot of man with camera types out there. As well as paid work which most of my shoots are I am seeking models interested in collaboration for mutual benefit. I am not necessarily talking folio benefit although great images will always look good in a folio; I am talking about creative expression, experimentation and professional development of ideas. I along with my like minded colleagues of models and carefully selected photographers are keen on building these kinds of links and bridges to bring about this meeting of ideas and lead to work that stretches the imagination and skills of those involved. Gallery work, limited edition prints and books being possible avenues for the results. I have many plans in the pipeline to benefit models and photographers who resonate with this kind of approach. Email me for more info or to get involved.
