Experience:
I’m an amateur photographer and over the years have arranged various shoots to gather art reference, mainly artistic nude, purely for art work but have found that the challenges and the pleasure that the photography presented were equal to that of the art work. I’m not the best photographer in the world and certainly not the greatest artist, but I love being involved in both subjects. I prefer to use a single source lighting to create shadows and mood and would like to experiment more with this style.

Comments:
Having just retired, I am expanding my horizons and knowledge of photography and Photoshop and would like to work towards themed shoots, at the present working around the 1920’s style, to get ideas, develop them and see where they lead. I hope to work with models both new and experienced professionals and would add that I have, in the past and of late, never booked a model TF and have always paid an appropriate rate. But if a model wanted to work with me TF that would be acceptable provided we were both singing from the same hymn sheet. I’m easy to work with, have a good sense of humour, always welcome ideas and input from anyone I work with and look forward to improving my portfolio. I believe in ‘Quid pro quo’ and that ‘Politeness costs nothing but yet it is worth a fortune’.
