Damien J

Hi I'm Damien although quite a few people call me Damo hence the nickname I've used on here. I'm a hobbyist photographer based in Newbury, Berkshire expanding and developing my skills to create some great images.

I'm interested in a variety of shooting styles and am trying my hand at many of them to see if I develop a specific style or love for it, and work on techniques.
I love striking locations like urbex, mansions or beaches, rocks, cliffs & woodland, hopefully combining styles and locations to create eye catching images. 
At the moment I'm looking to add some striking/edgy fashion, boudoir and swimwear to my port plus work on my videography so get in touch if you'd like to collaborate on these.  

I have a set of portable flashes with a growing selection of modifiers so can work on location with flash as well as natural light. I've recently been on a video course so I'm planning on experimenting with this where possible. I mostly shoot at photography studios and have a number that I'm pretty regular at. I do have a backdrop set with a few background options and have done shoots at my flat but appreciate some prefer not to shoot at a photographers home so happy to shoot at a convenient studio as well.

This is a hobby at present to develop my skills and portfolio I have limited availability to shoot mainly at weekends or on the evening if it's not far away. I do have a limited budget which means I don't book many shoots and often plan things a month or 2 in advance. 

I've shot a few performing arts/circus/burlesque events and am looking at doing more to develop my experience and portfolio, happy to discuss if you have an opportunity all I ask for is travel expenses covered if it’s not local to me.

I’m only taking on selected collaborations at this time that fit in with my goals around specific lighting styles, inspirations, shoot styles or clothing. I am also doing some limited paid shoots generally focusing on styles and lighting methods I want to work on, however I do tend to book a couple of months in advance so often I don't have availability or budget for shorter notice opportunites.
