**** Note: currently located in Bermuda. I will be back in UK in June 2010. ****
I am not currently accepting any shoot requests. All shoots will be by invitation only.
Photography is my hobby and passion, but not my current occupation. My main interest is Fashion and Glamour shoots, although I also enjoy shooting sporting events.

In October 08, I attended the Virgin Islands as one of the Official Photographers of their annual Fashion Week.
TFCD Policy
Due to my busy schedule, I have had to revise my TFCD policy. I am currently doing a very limited number of TFCD shoots and only if I believe the resulting images will be beneficial to my portfolio.
For full details of my policy please see: http://www.mjones.faries.bm/TFCDPolicy.html
I believe that when photographing people/models there are some ethical rules that should be followed at all times (no touching the model, model privacy when changing, establishing before the shoot the models' comfort level in terms of skin exposure and never requesting them to do anything that would go beyond that level). I try to follow these rules at all times and believe that I am very considerate and respectful. Even though I am not a professional photographer, I do try to conduct my photo-shoots in a professional manner.
Model will be required to sign a model release form. No exceptions.
See here for release form: http://www.mjones.faries.bm/TFCD%20Model%20Release2.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Testimonial by Mpress Vern:
"I had soooo much fun working with you. You are a cool guy and I would recommend you to anyone. I totally enjoyed 'pushing the envelope' with you. As you would probably imagine...I LOVE ALL the shots."
Testimonial by Poonam:
"I had an amazing experience working with you. At first I was nervous working with someone coming from abroad whom I had never met before but after doing a thorough reference check, I was more than pleased as well as exciting to begin shooting. You made me feel comfortable from the minute I walked in the door. I was so glad to be shooting my first lingerie shoot with you. Thank you for your professionalism and kindness. The shots turned out to be some of the best in my portfolio!"
I encourage all models that wish to work with me to contact some of the other models that I have worked with for a reference. And once you have worked with me please reciprocate if you are contacted by another model.

$800.... wow? i would have never guessed. I think it's the extra height added to the toe of the shoe that always references stripper heels to me. ;)
