Hi, I'm JP and I'm a retired-pro photographer. I've always liked photographing women and this hasn't changed with retirement (though on a pension I have less money to play with!). I always seek to be different. I want my shoots with you to be different from shoots with other togs. I like to bring new clothes to shoots, sometimes I leave these with you, sometimes I take them away after. Recently I've been playing with gold leaf on the body and photographing it (see my cover shot)...it's a great way to hide the odd tattoo too! Another shoot I did with a model wearing a paper bag over her head with a smilie drawn on it. I've encased women in plaster-of-paris, in runny paint, in honey and chocolate sauce, in marshmellows....I just like to be different. I'm constantly changing my technique and style of shooting

Common feature since retiring: I've thrown away my flash kit and ONLY shoot with natural light. I'm LOVING it!!!

I do a LOT of TFP and a small amount of paid shoots, but ALL my shoots come with a model-release form (without which I don't shoot, sorry ...once a pro, always a pro)

TFP with Model Release: within 7days of the shoot I provide to the model a full set of all my photographer finished pictures for their use. The model is allowed to use the pictures for their self promotion, including the ability to sell them via a pay-per-view site of their own choosing without need to pay royalties or profit share to me (I believe this is a REALLY good deal)

PAID SHOOT with Model Release: I don't guarantee to give you ANY pictures in addition to the payment made. Sometimes I give a few, sometimes I don't but there's no guarantee ie i'm not going to pay you twice by giving you cash, then also high quality pictures with permission to use them for your own gain.
