   *** Looking for superbly sleek fashion designers to collaborate with! ***

42 year old cat, sometimes human! Travelled through 21 countries, cycled through 10, worked in 5. Been to Asia 7 times - wonderful experiences, colours and memories!

Fashion + beauty photography. Outdoor and indoor locations, bars, nightclubs, studios. Lighting, set design and clothing/styling is the most interesting aspect, akin to movie stills - painting with light.

*** NEW MODELS - Please read ***

I often work very long, challenging days in the motion picture film industry. Some previous productions I've been involved with went on to win Oscar/BAFTA/Cannes Film Festival awards for cinemaphotography. This leaves little free time for testing/TFP/TFCD photo shoots.

Familiarise yourself with the unparalleled work of the DP Chris Doyle HKSC. He is an absolute genius, the worlds number 1 visionary Director of Photography. Watch the film "2046" and you will be blown away to the other side of your neighbourhood

Can you suggest groovy location + innovative concept/styling ideas? If so, I will be much more receptive to a test shoot request. It's much more productive working as a team, creative individuals collaborating together. I have my own Bowens studio lighting kit, so can shoot anywhere with a mains supply.

Usually, models are cast and recommended through the agencies/production company/client. MM is a wonderful place for models and MUA's to get the ball rolling, with a fresh, updated portfolio.

I would love the climatic freedom to do more location work. Despite the many economic benefits of living in Northern Europe, warm dry hospitable weather is not one of them

I am British, also speak Bavarian, Japanese and some Danish.

For references, contact anyone I've worked with.

Please don't ask me to do photos which include rail tracks, yellow "Caution" tape, angel wings, excessively surgically enhanced boobs, Asian models holding Samurai swords or models clutching pistols, it looks kind of silly!

Model: Yasmin Al Tellawy, clothes designs by Yizhen Ma, MUA: Rose Beauty

DO's:
1. Tell me how wonderful I am
2. Ask to collaborate
3. Ask for my rates or number 4;
4. Buy me lots of fresh basil, cheese, olives, red chillies and beer
5. Inspire me
6. Talk about yourself
7. Buy me a beer/strong black coffee
8. Ask me how quickly your photo’s will be ready (normally within a week)

DON’T’S:
1. Waste my time
2. Ask me to shoot a full catalogue fashion/jewellery shoot on TF basis
3. Tickle me on set, I may pee myself
4. Ask to shoot without an idea
5. Say "you’re the photographer" when I ask you what you want to shoot... what the f*ck does that mean anyway?
6. Offer me cakes or cookies, I don’t have a sweet tooth!
7. Reply to castings, writing only the word "interested". Be original, put some thought into a meaningful sentence or two, then you're far more likely to get a favourable response!
