Grey Bear

 

Welcome and thanks for stopping by

I'm an experienced photographer with a BA (Hons) degree in photography and video art.  This gives me a passion for non standard shoots such as unusual art nude, fantasy, surrealism and edgy fashion. Also story telling is a key aspect to my work, so when you're working for me, an ability to act would be an advantage. 

I'm looking for creative models who are willing to interpret my concepts and help me turn them into reality by making orginal poses thus adding their own layer of creativity to the mix. Props, costumes, masks and specialist make up may be used.

Heavily tattooed models maybe be considered if their body art enhances the image.

A note about nude work

I will only ask of the model what I feel the image requires, there will be not be nudity for the sake of nudity. I never intentionally shoot degrading or disrespectful images.

I may ask a lot from any model during a shoot, but it will be just that, a request. If you are not comfortable with the request please say so. Achieving the correct body language is a key element in all my images so a happy and fully engaged subject is always my aim. 

Please note

• TF work: If I hire you on a TFP basis I will provide 6 basic images for your portfolio of the selected best images from the shoot. Each will be labelled with my copyright which must not be removed. Terms and conditions will apply to their use.
• Paid work: If I'm paying for the shoot, I will not  provide free images. If you want images then either work TF or offer me part-and-part....I'm not unreasonable.
• Model Release Form: My work is shown in galleries and exhibitions and sold, so I will require a model release signed before shooting commences. No signed form - no shoot.
• Cancellations: It can happen to us all - I understand this but please understand cancelling at short notice costs me, especially if I've hired costumes and make up artists. If less than 72 hours notice I think it is reasonable for you to phone or email with an explanation. A poor excuse or a no show without explanation will result in an appropriate reference.
