I reside in Sydney NSW and am a Published photographer ( BEST OF 2008 PHOTOGRAPHY ANTHOLOGY and published in AO MAGAZINE issue 2 as featured photographer over a 4 page spread and published as a featured photographer in PHOTOGRAPHY VIBES)
I have a deep passion for photography, i am also a model and actor in my spare time - its good to be able to be on both sides of the lens.
My photography is inspired by my passion for movies, drawing and reading comics, my look is stylised and different from the norm as i prefer to make my photos have a certain look to make them something else than just a snap in time.
I am more than happy to assist aspiring models by helping to build there portfolios - however i am not really interested in doing point and click type of photography so i am trying to steer away from doing simple glamour shots- there has to be an edge, there has to be something that gives the photo the potential to be a piece of art.
If you like my works so far then let me know if you would be keen. NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE, i seem to have a bit of bad luck with newbie models cancelling last minute so i only want to work with models who have a proffessional mindset.
TFP or TFCD will not be accepted. I charge a flat $100 fee: This includes a 3 hour photoshoot and a data disk with over 20 images that will be touched up etc. This is a more than reasonable price considering the time i spend working on the images and also my expenses
example of some of my expenses:
camera =$2000
Memory card= $80
Lights= $200
Reflector= $100
MM VIP membership= $100 per year
My photography website= $100 per year
Domain name= $70 per year
I know most models think they should be paid, but if you are a undiscovered model you need to have some quality photographs to your port before you will be discovered and be able to make a proper career off of modelling, Sure you may be able to get photographers offering there services to you for free but as the saying goes ' you get what you paid for'
BTW for technically concerned people my camera is a Sony a200 SLR camera that is 10.2 megapixel

Thank you to all the models who i have worked with from MM and abroad... unfortunantly there isnt enough room on MM to display all the amazing photos ive been able to take with these talented models but each and every shot has been amazing.
