I'm a freelance photographer, with work published in the UK and abroad.
I trained as an art teacher and am a former photography lecturer.
I welcome commissions and TF approaches from aspiring models with ability and interesting ideas.
I am especially looking for reliable local models (Staffordshire & Cheshire area).
Themes planned for forthcoming shoots include:
Nostalgic/retro - From indoor Hollywood style to locations with steam trains.
Olde worlde - from Mediaeval to Victorian - shooting at castles, country estates, and grand hotels.
The Natural World - waterfalls and grand landscapes - from Snowdonia to Cumbria.
Artistic - Models who can paint, draw, play an instrument, dance or have some other photogenic skill.
