Welcome to my profile.....
I love visuals that convey a sense of spirit, tell a story or touch something beyond what we see with our eyes but feel with our heart. That magical ingredient that connects with the present moment and the spirit of the subject within it, to chase that illusive butterfly is the challenge, love, passion and satisfaction of my personal work.
I work commercially with a camera, apart from that I follow my own creative expressions which is what you see here and also on my personal website. This is selective work I create with models and artists, most of the work here is created with Elena Buga who shares a similar perception to me as of what the figurative 'art nude' is about.
Regarding professional work, I do not directly engage models unless it is for a commercial assignment. If you are interested in working with me then my rates are very reasonable. I do not do tfcd work as I find it insulting to professional models and artists who are trying to earn a living from their abilities. If you are creative which is something I recognise and encourage, then I do work and I am open to collaboration on projects which have a financial outcome on a 50/50 basis.
My pet hate right now, are the 'generic' photographic profiles that swamp these sites with so called 'art nude' and 'fine art nude' which on the whole are just 'stereo typical' examples of the female form born from a male perception of the genre mixed with their personal sexual preferences.....nothing wrong with that if they realise it. label it and present it as such.
To me the genre of 'art nude' and 'fine art nude' is the purest form of physical expression by a model/artist and also the most challenging genre to capture where the 'essence' of expression is beyond the base emotion and sexual expressions that seem to prevail many so called 'art nude' profiles. If you begin looking upon the nude form in the same way you look upon a figurative sculpture, then your getting there!

Please before making a 'friend's request' to me at least send a message, tag me, leave a comment or be interested in working with me........otherwise I will ignore the request.......I do appreciate some communication beforehand and to be honest I am fed up with people asking to be friends for the sake of it.
