Collections
I am a professional sports/travel photojournalist, corporate filmmaker, and occasional paparazzo with over 20 years experience, shooting for GQ, The Times, The Express and various sports publications, plus some work in some very dodgy places.
I enjoy photographing people, and have been involved in model photography for around five years. I am still learning, and anyone who works with me needs to be tolerant if I bumble around.
Levels
I always shoot within a model's levels and don't make any physical contact without full consent. Please don't jump to the conclusion from my portfolio that I have pre-conceived ideas about what I will shoot, or what levels I expect - just ask!
Working Environments
My preference is to work with natural light in everyday settings, but I have worked in all manner of places and relish a challenge.
I am happy working with models of all levels of experience. I am still learning. Please don't worry about making suggestions.
Communication
I think good pre-comms are vital and as part of booking a shoot I would hope to have exchanged telephone numbers 48-72 hours before the shoot. From a practical point of view this means that last minute hitches can be dealt with quickly. Unless previously agreed if we are not in contact by phone in the last 12-24 hours before a shoot I may have to assume the shoot has been cancelled.
Cancellations
I don't really have any hard and fast rules about cancellations. If you have to cancel and have a good reason then life happens. If I have agreed to pay a deposit then I expect that returned without deductions. If we are shooting in a studio I may ask for a deposit to ensure that if you cancel I will not be wholly out of pocket. It will be returned to you once we are shooting.
Chaperones/MUA
I certainly don't mind working with chaperones or MUA, but I limit it to one unless agreed before the shoot is booked.
Rates
I don't have a massive budget so if you give me rates I can't pay then I will tell you. I won't insult you by negotiating - this isn't a souk - I will just say no thank you. If you ask 'what can you can afford?' I might decline to answer and if I do please be polite if it is less than you want.
P.S. I hate the term 'tog'. I don't know why. I am a snapper or a photographer.
