Joe Curtis

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile

Background:

Hey, I'm Joe, a hobbyist photographer from Hull originally but now living in Derbyshire.

Experience:

I have done a few portrait workshops; weekly Imogen, Carla & Adrian, Martin Newton, Jess Petrie & Team Black. I'm aiming to do a few more workshops in order to build my portfolio and confidence, with the longer term aim of utilising purple port to collaborate with models for my own photoshoots.

Technical background: I have mainly on DSLR's (now moved to mirrorless) however I have also shot some 35mm film (Refer to descriptions of photos within my portfolio), 

Creativity / Style

Storytelling is everything, although standard portraiture is very nice, and there are some very technically talented photographers out there, a lot of images just fall flat for me as they seem like snapshots that don't emote anything from the viewer. I want to forge something modern, new, and original. Hopefully encompassing elements from a model's individual personality into the storytelling of the scene. I welcome any models who want to share ideas and become part of the creative process, so we can work/experiment to create something truly unique and beautiful. 

Below is a list of things I want to try more of:

• Light & Shadows
• Interesting Light Sources (EG fairy lights, sparklers, lanterns, etc)
• Atmospheric
• Detective Noir Themed.
• Using Smoke (Stage smoke or smoke in a can)
• Location Portraiture (Beautiful Fields, Towns, Walls, Forests, etc)
• Dance (Interesting postures / body contortions that dancers achieve)
• UV Paint

Availability:

I work full time & often go away for weekends so will have to organise in advance :)
