Hello,

I am a mostly editorial-style portrait photographer, and I like to shoot on location - mainly with natural light.

My influences include Rankin, Helmut Newton, David LaChapelle and Mario Testino. And, what the hell, Annie Leibovitz also! All the obvious one's, of course, naturally.

That said, I'm highly driven by more cinematic works of world class cinematographers, including: Janusz Kaminski, Gregory Crewdson, Wally Pfister, Roger Deakins, Mark Romanek and Robert Richardson. Again, all the obvious one's (well, they are the best).

I'm always on the lookout for models (of both genders, but predominantly female) of varying ages who are open to fresh new ideas; are actively collaborative; and take high-style photographic work seriously in creating a strikingly unique vision.
I like to see interesting and dynamic faces that can carry a good eclectic mix of both character and beauty in both conventional (commercial) and unconventional ways.

As a side-line to this, I also photograph headshots for actors and other such performers. See my website www.markdavidshots.com for further details.

Camera-wise, I use a 22 megapixel Canon 6D with a very fast 50mm prime lens (f1.2), so lots of flattering bokeh background shots are often guaranteed.
