I'm a professional photographer, based in the UK's Lake District National Park. I have a successful gallery in Cumbria that sells my limited edition prints, and plans to open another gallery in Scotland in near future. My landscape work has been published in many national publications, including a recent double-page in The Times. One of my images was selected for in inclusion in an exhibition at The Tate Gallery in 2007.
I learned my craft working as a freelance assistant in London, working on everything from fashion to food shoots. I have also worked as an illustrator and designer, and have been using Photoshop since version 1.0. I've got many years experience finishing images to extremely high standards. Most of work ends up as large C-Type prints.
Having spent the last five years concentrating my landscape portfolio I'm looking to start including more humans in my work. My model and portrait portfolio is pretty thin right now so I'm keen to do TF* shoots to start building that up. I'm particularly interested in the edgy, the different and occasionally the disturbing side of fashion. I love pictures that tell stories.
I have a few specific fine art projects in mind, and a couple of galleries who are quite keen to show some new, non-landscape work. I'll post casting calls for these projects shortly.
I know the Lake District really well and have a huge catalogue of fantastic outdoor locations that includes mountains, lakes, waterfalls, forests and castles. I'm particularly interested in hearing from models and MUAs who want to shoot outdoor locations (and are prepared to do some serious walking to get to them). I'm also very keen to work with Clothing Designers who want to shoot their designs in some of these stunning landscapes.
My website also has landscape and commercial portfolios, which aren't going to be particularly relevant, but they give an idea of the quality of my work:
