I'm an experienced semi professional photographer who has built up a portfolio of images over the years having worked with a number of fashion designers and celebrities. The attached sample portfolio will illustrate the quality of images that have been produced and portray the style that has become my signature.

I've never had any formal training in photography, I just picked up a camera some years back and started snapping away. In fact some of my early images were shot on my father's old war time Roliflex 6x6 camera that I found in a trunk along with some incredible negatives of his time spent in Tanganyika and Kenya during WW2. 

I like to think I'm easy to work with and very collaborative in nature. My black and white images have a timeless quality, almost atmospheric in feeling which is created by the subtle use of lighting and styling. I believe in a simplistic approach to photography, creating uncomplicated images using the most beautiful models available combined with subtle but effective lighting and then simply just let the results speak for themselves.

Styling is critical and as such I only use high end designer or unusual props and have access to a varied warbrobe of designer clothes and shoes which lend themselves to creating the high end fashion nude images you see posted on my profile.

My preference is to shoot fashion fine art black and white nude images and much of my work has been done in this genre. I specialise in anything from fashion, through portraiture to nude. The majority of my images have been shot in a studio environment where I can completely control the image and lighting.

I try to avoid and steer away from cheese cake images, favouring to capture something very special in every shoot. I am a perfectionist and try to leave no detail to chance in my pursuit of capturing that special image. I'm happy to shoot a lot of images to get one that works such is the advantage of modern digital photography.

This approach demands the absolute focus of the model and willingness to take it to the edge. Many of the models I have shot have openly stated that working with me brings out characters in them that they didn't realise existed. I like awkward shapes and try to combine a sense of high end fashion to my shoots. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but we have a lot of fun in the process and nearly always get something that really stands out from the crowd.

" The model has to give you the moment. It's not you making it. They give it to you and you capture it. "-- Peter Lindberg (1944-2019)
