About Me

Full time professional photographer based in keswick, in the lake district.

Im looking for interesting and versatile models to feature in my personal and art work. Hoping to find someone who may turn out to be a muse for various projects.

I love shooting on location, although I also have a studio; I tend to wait till I see what the light and the wind do to my model and location before deciding exactly what I want to shoot!

I also tend to work my models hard, and the countryside is not always comfortable smile but I do feed you and try to keep you safe!

I dont do glamour/fhm style etc, nothing against it, it just doesn't stir my creative juices.(or maybe Im just crap at it smile )

Art nude is my thing, on location and in the studio. I want drama,depth, sensuality,beauty,power,etherealness,mysticism and sexuality in my models and compositions.(not all at once of course!) I also prefer different looks to the english blonde, tho for art nude, the figure and the hair, not the face are what counts.

My work site is here http://www.derwentphotography.co.uk

I will  pay for exceptional and experienced models with a particular look Im after, but I usually to work on a tfp basis, plus I will often produce a proper book(with pages& hard/soft back cover and dustjacket)for the model if its a shoot Im pleased with;

Im happy to shoot with beginners as well, and will give you some wow shots for your portfolio, but please please do not waste my time with a no show.
If we arrange a shoot  and you dont turn up, I have lost the money I could have been earning that day shooting for clients!
And my wife will not be happy with me!

regards,

stephen michael yates.
