SHOOT NEWS: I'm currently primarily on the lookout for interesting and unique models to shoot for a personal project. There will be no money to pay you guys, there will be no money charged. All shoots are on a TFCD basis and will hopefully result in a book. I'm going for images of individuals shot in cool ways, not cannon fodder commercial stuff. Shout up if you want to be part of something interesting, I'm looking for one hundred people!
On a commercial note, I am as always available for commercial hire, and if you feel you'd like to use what I can do for you in your business, then please feel to get in touch. I'm friendly, happy and always willing to help!
Experienced photographer (working in fields as varied as commercial product shots through to sporting events and for varying fashion labels) born and raised in Derbyshire, England through Glasgow, Scotland who emigrated to New Zealand in 2007 to pursue a better life. Making photographs is my passion, my lifeblood and at the forefront of that is portraiture, fashion and alternative 'indie chic' off-the-wall work. I'm not in the market for producing straight forward work really and would prefer my stuff to make you stop and look for longer than five seconds. If you fancy a challenge and want to work with someone not afraid to try new things, you're here.
Please be aware also that trips back home to the UK are planned coming through either Hong Kong or Los Angeles, so models from the UK or LA, please don't be afraid to shout up if you fancy banging heads together.
Thanks for looking, drop us a line for whatever reason, be they comments, praise (or ridicule!) or to arrange some work.
