About me
Thanks for dropping in! Now I know you probably have a short attention span .. so I'll type quickly! ...

As a fossil I started out shooting steam trains last century (remember it?) .. and with their demise (and perhaps my own),  find myself concentrating on (remember now) landcape and figure studies. Yeah .. know most of you guys think 'civilization' started with the iPod .. but really .. please read some history .. civilisation started when high carbon footprint plasma screens showed man(kind) landing on the moon on colour TV!

Prefer combining the two (concentrate! .. landscape n' figure studies) .. the contrast of form and texture seems so mutually complementary, as opposed to complimentary ..

Recently I have made brief forays indoors. However I prefer location shoots to the more sterile studio shoot. I do love wonderful, formal backgrounds though! Real backgrounds .. not chroma-key/digital ones in this virtual, interactive world .. get a real (as opposed to a virtual) life!  And for the record ... real is how I like my models ...                                 
                     
                                                                                   (cont. below)

I keep trying to explore new approaches, staying within the bounds of decency and respect for the models involved. The human form is a beautiful thing .. let's depict it that way without either the exploitation or pagan worship.

I hope you find your way to my modest (but growing!) e-portfolio (hyper-link above) and leave a comment if you are so inspired! Thanks.

Please consider why you want to be my FRiend. Are you  .. serious? If you admire my work, then please tell me as much. If it's to work with me .. likewise, you need to tell me. Otherwise I'm not a  FRiends junkie. MM is not MySpace! Thanks.

Regards

Mark

Thanks so much Mark......

It is easy to work with such beauty who knows how to work the camera......Natty is such a beautiful person, and has so much positive energy, it's hard not to love her.

By the way you have some gorgeous images.......and I'm so so jealous that you have those beautiful rock locations to use...........

Take Care

Thank you for all the great positive comments.
I really wanted to let loose on my design/creative ability. (pretty much what i enjoy doing)
So Mark and i chose the lighting/backdrop or props depending on the outfits that i chose. I had a blast.
Mark was even able to try a few different angles and experiment with shots.
Oh and i'm mostly lucky with my skin but also im a hardcore gamer and not much a fan of the sun :D
