I am an Eclectic person. I love trying to find uncommon perspectives and I like to cut my teeth on new and funky projects. I can think outside the square, but can also find contentment in doing things the conventional way. Theme based photo shoots and portraiture are my favourite styles.

I appreciate working with all types of people and I enjoy meeting new characters. Though I am a bit reservered, I'm not being standoffish. A focus is collaborating on a unique look that works for both of us. I like to tie in your interests and personality. If you want to bring a friend, please do, but let me know. At this point I don't do photo shoots with parents present or other cameras around unless previously negotiated.

I love some types of niche photography. Please keep in mind that I am not pursuing lingerie or nude work at this time. I do both location and basic studio.

I shoot for portfolios - not myspace. You should come with an expectation of a couple of high quality 8x10" or 8x12" digital images. My agreement is here: http://schmick.ledrew.com.au/TFCDcontract.pdf I do offer extra edits for testimonials and model releases. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE FORM IS SIGNED AND HANDED IN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOOT. Some models have been disappointed at the time it has taken to get their images released due to delays with paperwork.


My editing is comprehensive and I always consider your preferences. This is to ensure a focus on quality rather than aiming for quantity. It is unlikely that you would use more than a handful of images from one shoot in a portfolio. If you decide that you love my works and MUST HAVE more, I am happy to make further images available at a fee.

This is my main (working) gallery:
