About me

I am Professor Dark.. That does not mean that I hide in an old fashioned 'Dark room' as I am very much an open book or in this case a photo album.

Whilst my background is as a scientist, photography is the world where I am free to experiment away from the constraints of hypothesis and logic.

The result of my artistic ventures so far has been the culmination of a variety of aspirational images some of which have been Internationally published across the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia. But don't just take my word for it. Have a browse and let my portfolio speak for itself

Work

I tend to work from my own place in Weston-super-Mare, hotels when I'm traveling or even at your own home (if you're willing and able). If I've added you to a list, it's because I would like to work with you at some point. If you see this and want to collaborate, please drop me a line and we'll sort something out. If you're expecting payment in cash, please wait for me to contact you.

I do not only shoot nude. Just because my profile has a lot of this, doesn't mean I'm only shooting that.

Music

I'm well aware that a lot of people (myself included) work better with some sort of music in the background. I've got a wide range of music at my place (ripped CD collection - CDs are in storage, current CD collection and access to Spotify), including a wireless speaker for shoots elsewhere. Please let me know any albums etc you fancy as a playlist for the shoot...

 

Rates

I've been doing this long enough to know that my time is worth more to me than some things, but some things are worth more of my time than others. I'll work TF* happily for mutual collaborative projects, but I will not pay to improve your portfolio. If I like an idea/theme that you've got going and it's a paid casting and I've applied for it, I understand that it's paid. 

If you're applying for a casting of mine or want to work with me, please be mindful of whether it's TF* or paid. If it's TF*, please don't send me messages that follow the format of "Love your work, here's my rates". I'll reply politely, but chances are I'll be put off.

If I'm able to pay, I will :)

 

Me

Some of you may have read the above as someone who's too serious about everything, but honestly I'm not. Check my references, email them directly and ask what I'm like to work with. I'm younger than I sound but feel older than I look. Feel free to guess my age :P. I've been reliably told that I create a comfortable environment and this always makes me happy - because a comfortable model is a happy model = fantastic shoot.

 

Late cancellations

I understand these happen, and until recently I've never really felt the need to write a statement about it.

Things happen, I get it. Allergies, illness, family, transport. It can happen to anyone.

I would expect, following a late cancellation (within 72 hour of the shoot, unless it's a last minute shoot), that it would be rescheduled relatively quickly afterwards.

If it's at my place, it's not really a bother. However, if I've specifically booked a location to work with you - studio, hotel/venue etc, this will most likely have incurred a cost. I'm an amateur (meaning I don't get paid for this), so please don't extract the urine.

If it's a studio booking, the studio will also be notified, and they can do with the information as they see fit.

Regardless, it's just polite to let me know what's going on. I'm generally forgiving and I'd rather not experience the once or twice where I've just been ghosted...
