MY USER NAME ON PURESTORM IS STAPHIS

For 10 years I was creative director of an industrial/commercial video production company. I worked with many nationally known actors and presenters and produced for National Retail Chains, and Engineering and Manufacturing Companies.

My home and studio are in a beautiful rural location - and there is a pre-historic standing stone outside our door to model with!

I have comprehensive studio facilities - and free residential accommodation for models who want to stop over - and a wonderful wife who looks after them like a mother hen.

I have a treasured reputation as a decent and kindly man - and am honoured that many models choose to work with me again and again. In order to get the best from our shoot we need to form an instant rapport - chaperones get in the way of that - so if you don't have sufficient confidence to work without one - please don't accept an invitation to shoot.




Comments:

I love movement and dance - and creative work with fabrics - and I like to incorporate these elements into my work.

I understand the concerns of new models and provide them with a safe and fun filled experience - and lots of help and guidance if they want it. We can work in the studio and on location on the same day - and try lots of styles, clothes and props - and finish up with a portfolio of wonderful pictures - to kickstart your modelling career.

There is a very useful wardrobe of clothes and accessories in popular sizes for you to explore - and a fantastic range of props to bring extra zing and style to your shoot.

But....more than anything else - creative photography with an enthusiastic model, whether a novice or an experienced professional, is just the best fun I can imagine - every shoot I have had has been filled with laughter and your shoot is almost certain to be a time of great joy and creativity for us both.
