Desmond Manny

Semi-professional. That is to say I do not make my living by photography but do sell prints, submit to galleries, and submit to fine art magazines. None of which are guaranteed income generators.

I can make no promise of securing exposure for models or additional work but can perhaps provide something useful for portfolio development.

TFP/TFCD are of course acceptable, but terms can always be discussed.

The shoot-
A release is required (available to view upon request)

A shoot will generally last two hours. I do not share image rights but using images for self-promotion on the model’s part is traditionally a given. Ideas covered in the shoot will be discussed beforehand, meaning poses, wardrobe (where applicable) and the sense the images will be meant to convey.

I take time to edit all images before providing models with CD’s or prints. CD’s or prints are provided within two (2) weeks.



I shoot film and digital as the mood strikes me. I work in monochrome.

Nature of the work-
My work with models consists of fine art nudes. My work is overwhelmingly monochrome. Styling ranges from painterly, impressionistic nudes to form based figure studies and whatever else strikes me at the time. Retouching is kept to a minimum. I do not in general produce the sort of images to be found in commercial magazines.

    Mayhem models I have worked with:
    Mayhem #619427
    Mayhem #39298
    Mayhem #80119
    Mayhem #7887
        Mayhem #328
