Hi everybody, I'm just a somebody who takes pictures. Welcome to my little bit of the world on MM
Photography is much more than my passion, it's my job. I've heard it all before, the promises of future paid jobs in exchange of me trading my work for additional exposure along with the enquiries in respect of me working on a time for prints basis. It takes more than compliments and thank yous for me to survive as a business. As a professional who is reliant on photography for my income I am not in the position to accept offers other than paid work.
NICK VIDLER. ( FASHION AND COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER ).
"For the true photographer creativity is an artistic vision. Everything falls in to place when the mind, body and soul dance to the same tune. It's when you can truly see, feel and capture the essence of that which surrounds you that the picture becomes so much more than a two dimensional image and you come to fully appreciate the passion that exists behind each simple click of the shutter." Nick Vidler 29th August 2009.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
***Much as I appreciate the compliments I receive from others in respect of my photography only in certain instances and solely with the intention of capturing something amazing will I consider collaborating on a TF* basis. The most important aspect of my life is my business with out which I cannot provide for those people who I feel are close to me. I am a full time professional photographer which translates to me working for pay. My rates are very reasonable and are a reflection of my skills and the time and effort I put in both during a shoot and when retouching the images afterwards. ***
