John Banks

Sometimes I get some nice messages on here…

“My eyes are so lucky - your portfolio is beautiful John.

It makes we want to wander and daydream for hours on end. So tender, so romantic.

Your work is a love letter to the divine feminine.“

Taking it easy for a start, (it’s been a health-based rollercoaster of a year or two), but I’m back out there again now. Looking to concentrate on lighter floaty/sensual, or darker moody/atmospheric. Both options will be less in the way of obviously posed photos… instead, more like film stills, no eye contact etc.

If you feel that you suit either scenario, say hello if you like.

Primarily all about natural light, locations and emotions... I like my photos to feel as though there's a story attached.

So if anyone's interested at all in being the focus of the photos... or if anyone has a special talent for blending with trees, water etc, then feel free to give me a wave.

I imagine it'll mainly be with those I already know (would be nice to see a few of the old friendly faces again)… or with people who have similar outlooks and visual tastes to myself. But I'm always happy to work with new people, should they appreciate the reasons I do this. Those reasons being to create artistic imagery... photographs I feel would be worthy of printing, framing... maybe using as the basis of future sketches, paintings etc (which I've been doing more of these past couple of years, to keep some form of creativity going).

I prefer to maintain some originality, never being one for following fads or trends with model photography. Having fun and random conversations is certainly preferred, creating something different and interesting in the process.

If this sounds like a similar outlook to your own, feel free to drop me a message if you're interested in working together.

Thanks,

John

Regarding payments…

- I’m happy to pay a model who meets the criteria of any casting I put out there, or someone who would clearly benefit my portfolio.

- I’m happy to work for and accept payment from any new models, or anyone wanting a general portfolio boost for themselves.

- I’m happy to collaborate with / pay those I know, who want to catch up for some new photos and a few laughs and chats.

- Good vibes only, whichever the case.
