ALWAYS LOOKING TO TEST WITH AGENCY STANDARD MODELS OR NEW FACES WITH THE LOOKS DETAILED BELOW. EXPERIENCE NOT NECESSARY IF YOUR LOOK IS RIGHT.
Hello, I am an experienced photographer who has worked in the industry for 16 years. I have recently moved to Brighton so am still in the process of networking in the area.
I am looking to work with models with a strong fashion or beauty look (slim and tall or nice clean skin) and either a quirky/edgy or natural look. I have no interest in shooting glamour style images and if you have a glamour look I am not the photographer for you.
I am interested in shooting editorial fashion and beauty images. For beauty, I require models with clear skin and strong features.
All of my work is done on a tf* basis, so I am looking for models who are committed to creating fantastic images- this means being reliable as well as willing to be involved in the creative process. I do not cover travel expenses I'm afraid.
I usually work with a make-up artist, and sometimes a hair stylist, they are not always available however it depends on schedules. As their time is valuable and greatly appreciated I will quite often shoot without them the first time we work together to see how well we collaborate.
For studio work, I have a home studio set-up. It is small but perfectly adequate, and my home is clean and tidy. I do have a very friendly dog though, so be prepared to be licked to death.
If we work together don’t expect a CD of 5 million unedited images. I am only looking to send out the very best ones, be it 3 or 30. If you feel that you require a massive amount of shots from a shoot then I am definitely not the photographer for you.
I will however quite often send you images that are similar and let you decide which one you prefer.
I also welcome your input on editing style, I am proficient in photoshop and will often process the same image in many different ways, if you want all the versions just say so.
I am happy to supply prints for a small fee.
I appreciate that my notes may seem a little daunting, but I believe it is important that anyone working with me has suitable expectations prior to the shoot. I can assure you that if we work together the shoot will be relaxed, fun and enjoyable- I don't bite!
