YES - Happy to receive unsolicited memos/contact. May not respond though!

*** Update 01-Feb-15***

I am in need of a Muse (aren't we all :) ) .... I can't offer pay but I can offer travel (as in doing the collecting and/or delivering plus all travel to locations etc), food though my cooking does leave a lot to desired, beers (or other alcoholic beverages within reason), entertainment (wash your mind out with soap and water....not that kind of entertainment), hi-quality images (JPG not RAW) for your port and a truck load of creative ideas.

I'm highly flexible with my time as I am gainfully self-employed in alternate trades. Open minded, open to all levels, open to all ideas.

Naturally creative, I have always made things since being a child, and photography has been one of those art forms on the fringes of my creative output but is now coming more into focus as circumstances and life allows. This is a creative outlet for me, a way to communicate my thoughts and ideas, get my artistic frustrations out in a form that I and others can see. I always challenge perceived convention, question the norm and create what I want, how I want and allow others to question and judge.

Therefore I have the luxury of being a “hobbyist” with no aspirations to become professional. It is early days for me in this art form, leaving the starting block, the finish line being far in the distance. At some point I want to publish so I have goals and aims, I have ideas in mind and I have a need to be recognised. I have a number of projects in mind that I will bring to fruition and I am looking for people who want to be part of this creative process.

I find inspiration in the works of Helmut Newton, Brooke Shaden, Cecil Beaton, Yuri Yasuda and Andrew G Hobbs. Currently I am admiring and studying the works of Simon Powell, Vitor Shalom and Adam von Mack. All of these people creatively inspire me and I love their work. Credit where credit is due; we are all students of those who lead and inspire.
