If you need images that are different, edgy and modern... images that stand out... then you need to book a shoot with Aperture Studio!
Photography is how I make my living and i'm sorry to say that TFP work isn't accepted as a form of payment by my landlord for the rent! Take a look at
MY RATES instead... they are
VERY reasonable!
Besides... you wouldn't go to your day job and work for free would you? So why should I? Photography IS my day job.
I do not give/sell images to newspapers (only magazines) so please don't ask and don't steal either. All my images are copyright protected.

Rules (Best getting them out of the way first!):
If you dont read these rules you might not get a reply from me!
1. Flake on me or do a no-show and you will
NOT get a second chance to shoot with me.
2. If I'm paying you then it is
ME who will decide "how many" and "when" I decide to give you image copies.
3. If it's a TF* shoot you will receive a generous amount of copies but I
DO NOT give a timeframe for receipt of these copies as I have paying customers/models as a priority! Shooting TF* with me means you accept this rule and will not hassle me right after a shoot looking for edited pics!
4. Under
NO circumstances will images copies be given at the end of a TF* shoot... you will have to wait for the edits like everyone else.
No exceptions!
5. Thy shalt not self edit! This means what it says... you are
NOT PERMITTED to crop, edit or manipulate any image given to you by me unless given permission by me,
AND ONLY ME.
6. I will only do TF* shoots on very rare occasions and only
IF you are an
EXCEPTIONAL model than can put something
NEW and
UNIQUE in my portfolio. Anything else is just an excuse for a free shoot!
7. Don't ask me to shoot with you and then ask
me to pay you... because I sure as hell wouldn't ask you to shoot with me and then expect
you to pay me! It's just rude!
Rules are born out of necessity, to stop repeats of unfortunate circumstances and to stop time being wasted... i'm actually really easy going!

So what can you expect from me?
I am a 27 year old full time professional glamour photographer with my own studio (Aperture Studio).
Based in Northern Ireland and established in October 2006.. Aperture Studio has now become a recognised name across Ireland.
I have experience in shooting everything from fashion right up to Playboy nude style. Whatever style you are looking for, I can deliver!
I'm a very relaxed person, easy to talk to and get along with. I like to chat and keep the atmosphere relaxed during a shoot but I am still by all means professional. I am not in this game "for kicks" or for to get to look at naked women all day... this is my full time job and my career, and I have a respectable reputation to uphold. This is my living.
I do believe in a good photographer/model relationship in order to make the shoot work and get the magic shots.
I have shot with many many models (known and unknown) from around Ireland and the UK, and have contributed to some well known magazines and newspapers alongside the commercial work and the model portfolios I undertake.
I also like to work a lot with props etc... plain shots just don't do it for me! Unless theres a point to it of course!
My studio is bursting with props and outfits!
All props and some of the outfits shown in my portfolio here on MM are supplied by myself.
So there you go... I hope you'll be in touch soon!
