*************************************


I take photos that are honest, natural and say something about the individual in the shot.

Taking the time to establishing a comfortable rapport with everyone I photograph means that the results are personal, intimate and memorable.

Photography should be more than just making someone look beautiful or photogenic. It should be about capturing something of personality, someone's mannerism, all the things that make you individual, unique, memorable.

The world is full of beautiful people. There is always more to a person than just their shape or look. No person should ever be cheapened to glossy eye candy. It is an individual's story that makes them beautiful and being able to capture that which makes my work memorable.  

Whether it is your portfolio that needs new headshots, fashion snaps, or promotion/performance work captured, if you are needing good photos that show who you really are, then please drop me a line here.

Regarding TFP/TFCD: I am a volunteer with a fair few different organisations. Photography is my only source of income ladies and gents, so unless you are someone I have expressly told I would sell my spare kidney to work with, TFP is a rare RARE happening.  That said, my rates for a shoot are reasonable and you won't regret working with me.

All that jargon aside, comments, feedback and random hello's are most definitely welcome.

I'm not a perfectionist, I'm an expressionist.

Thanks for reading,

John E
