Dimitri Walters Photography

Hi!
I'm a part time photographer, based in Pulborough, West Sussex. I dedicate all of my spare time between my day job and my family to photography, which has been my greatest passion for some time now.

During the last couple of years I have decided to take my hobby up a level and started doing some studio type & lifestyle portraits for friends & family, and also conducted few portfolio shoots with models.

I have the latest equipment in my disposal, including a full frame DSLR with high quality professional lenses, Bowens PRO mono-lights, a slick looking website, and tons of enthusiasm!

My ultimate goal is to be able to offer my future clients a wide range of styles, including traditional portraits, maternity, beauty & fashion, as well as more sensual types of photographs, such as boudoir & tasteful nudes.

On a personal note: I take my photography very seriously, and treat all my clients with respect they deserve, but at the same time I prefer to work in a relaxed way and have as much fun as possible. I'm always open to try other people's ideas, and ready to dedicate as much time as needed to achieve desired results.

I'm happy to work on TF* basis (provided there is an opportunity for a mutual benefit), and open to new ideas!
So, if you feel that it's time to expand your portfolio, or may be just fancy trying out some new ideas, then please contact me for a friendly chat!

Kind regards

Dimitri

Q: Do you work alone or with an assistant? And if yes, is it male or female and what role will he / she be playing?
A: I usually work alone; if there is a specific need for an assistant, this will be discussed prior your photo shoot.

Q: Will there be other people present during the photo shoot and if yes, who are they?
A: Usually there is no one else present, unless it has been discussed beforehand that the photo session will involve other parties, like hair stylists, make-up artists etc.

A: It is absolutely OK to bring an escort with you. This can be anybody you trust, but I ask to limit the number to two persons max. They can stay during the photo shoot, as long as they do not interrupt or get involved in any way. In some cases I may ask them for some assistance (i.e. help me to change the background).

A: I have three standard contracts that I use:
One is a TFP/TFCD contract & model release – this is used when the photo shoot is conducted on TFP/TFCD basis;
The second one is a Commercial contract & model release, compensating the photographer – this one is used when the model pays the photographer for the services, i.e. a portfolio shoot;
And the third one is a Commercial contract & model release, compensating the model – this one is used when the model is hired by the photographer;
You will be asked to sign one of them.

Q: Do you do any post-processing?
A: Yes, I do some basic post processing, such as skin blemishes removal, moderate skin smoothing, tone and colour adjustment, B&W conversion, cropping and in some cases minor artistic editing (i.e. old photo effect etc.)
