If you would like to organise a shoot please leave me a message on e-mail (above) and I will get back to you with my terms and hopefully to arrange a date and discuss concepts.
I'm an artist, art tutor and freelance photographer. I have a BA in Medieval studies (with an interest in fashion) and Modern History (specialising in the 19c and 20c) and I'm now studying History Honours at UWA.
I took up photography as a means of creating references for my paintings but the instant gratification from digital photography had me move from the brush to the camera.
The free flowing fashions of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods (1890-1945) hold a particular fascination for me, I have studied fashion, makeup and hairstyles for that period and I'm always happy to do themed shoots.
I am available for;
* portfolio;
* headshots;
* corporate;
* fitness;
* fashion;
* promotion and
* portraiture.
* Portrait painting in any medium on commission.
I can offer TFCD on a strictly limited basis and only if the concept interests me or it will benefit my portfolio. Please e-mail me for my terms for paid shoots.
My TFP policy;
I will forward to the model, by e-mail or cd, all useable but unedited shots as thumbnail files, from which the model can choose shots to be edited. I will then edit the selected shots, make small (72dpi), watermarked files of them, suitable for web upload, and large (400dpi), watermarked files for print. I will then forward a cd of those files to the model. I do have a professional printer on which I can print up to A3+ size shots but prints are extra to my TFCD policy and will incur a fee.
I retain copyright in all the TFCD photographs and any alteration / manipulation of the photographs will be done by me.
I prefer a chaperone for all shoots as it puts both model and photographer at ease. Models under 18 years MUST have a written, parent/guardian permission signed and that parent / guardian attend the shoot.
