Hi I'm Darren, I am a 24yr old male photographer based in Plumstead SE London. I am a very easy going and fun photographer to work with.
I have been a professional model for 5 years and a professional photographer for 4 years. I have worked onboard a cruise ship as a photographer and I run a limited photography company. You can see more of my work at
www.yousplat.com in the portraiture galleries.
I usually charge for photoshoots however I am always open to TFP for the right person with a good concept. I love all styles of photography.
How I Work:
When we meet at the beginning of the shoot I will sit you down with a nice warm drink and explain what it is we are going to do and tell you a little bit about me. This way we are both clear on what it is we are doing so we do not have different goals and get upset if we do not reach them.
I will never ask you to do something that you do not feel comfortable doing, if you feel uncomfortable all you have to do is a raise a hand and say I feel uncomfortable and we will change what we are shooting.
Throughout the shoot I will show you images on the back of the camera so that you have a clear idea of what it is I am trying to acheive and gain confidence that what you and I are doing is coming out well.
I tend to take more time making sure that lights, props, background and you are set up and posed correctly then I do shooting. I want to get it as perfect as I can in camera and spend less time in photoshop afterwards. I take fewer pictures then some photographers but that is because I do not need to take so many as my images are almost spot on from the second I press the button.
After the shoot I will upload all the images onto the computer for you to choose a few that you would like edited.
What is a successful shoot?
To me if I get one fantastic shot from a shoot then the shoot is successful. Sometimes models do not perform well and trying to find a good image is hard, whereas sometimes every image is fantastic. The other thing is that a lot of the work I am doing now is experimental, that means that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't (90% of the time it does), You can have a great concept and a great plan for it but it doesn't always work.
Well there is a little bit about me, hope it gives you a bit of a better idea.
