Mick Waghorne

Just returned to model photography after a near five year hiatus. I have no great plans to shoot frequently -  I’m just going to occasionally shoot models with whom I think the results would be good.

Photography - Here's my philosophy on the subject - At the end of the day it's the final image that matters, not how you got there - It's not just about being able to wield a camera competently ( I’m not at all sure that I can actually do that)  it's about a whole myriad of things. I don’t really plan ahead preferring  for ideas to develop as the shoot goes along. It's a team effort in reality.  I find this approach seems to work.

I pretty much only shoot nude images of the kind that you see on my profile. ( Unless of course I feel like shooting something else - this does happen occasionally )  Call them art-nude, call them nude, call them whatever you like the semantics of it really doesn't matter.  

I used to work from a home studio set up but no longer have the space to do so. I still have a lot of studio gear though which can be used in suitable venues.


Of note for models interested in working with me:



 

1.   Please get in touch with me rather than add me to a "want to work with list" - I doubt that I would notice.



2.   In a calculated piece of hypocrisy I’ve made short list of models that I’d like to shoot.  As the title says it is an aide-memoir. Because of sight issues I can't shoot intensively but if you are on the list, hopefully circumstances will prevail. It’s not a complete list and does not include anyone I have previously worked with.


3.    I'll pay realistic rates to the right models - this means that you have experience of nude modelling  and a portfolio that proves it. I don't mind models that fill that criteria contacting me with regards to paid work.

.4.    TFCD -  Not interested.



5.    I want commitment from models I work with. Decent communications - I expect models that I work with to arrive at the scheduled time (allowing for trains and traffic) or let me know with reasonable notice if there is a problem. Things go wrong - that's life.



6.    Chaperones – In short no.



7.    Tattoos - I um and argh about this.



8.    Piercings - um and argh about these as well. I um and argh about a lot of things.



9.    References - if you have any for failing to show then I'm not interested in working with you. Full stop.

10.  Nothing is cast in stone so I may choose ignore all or any of the above.



11.  Finally, to show that you have read this if you are contacting me in the first instance with regards to a shoot please include the word "okra" in the title of the message. If you don't I wont respond.
