About me

I am based in Leeds, UK. I’ve been shooting models since January 2018, though I’ve had a camera a little while longer. I like to think I create visual art that provokes thought and emotion but I’ll leave that up to you to decide. 

Since then I’ve spent my time researching and practising new techniques, playing with lighting configurations and trying to find my own niche style. I’m not sure I’ve settled on it yet but I definitely have a penchant for portraits, mono and bodyscape images. Hopefully my portfolio shows them to be of a good standard. I want to work with like-minded creatives and collaborate on exciting new ideas, recreating old ones with a twist and having fun whilst doing so.

 

Rates/Payment

My rates are x, please swipe when you hear the beep.

I shoot on a collaborative basis alongside models and with like minded creatives who can bring something to the table. I do pay for shoots/models but only for specific projects. The payment method will be outlined in my individual castings.

At the end of a shoot, I give you the camera to look through everything taken and show you how to delete anything you wouldn't want to be shown/shortlisted. This gives you the peace of mind that everything is above board, though I will definitely haggle on the weird faces and mid blinks to try and use as future bargaining chips for more shoots hah. During this time you can note down any favourites and I like to try and return one or two as soon as I can, to give you something for social media etc. BTS and back of camera shots are more than welcome for Instagram and other platforms, just ask first.

I shoot in either 2 or 3 hour slots and provide between 5-7 retouched images in return for your time. If the shoot is absolutely amazing and we get a larger number of keepers, I'm more than happy to provide more but will only edit and hand over shots I'm personally happy with my name being attached to. You can see the level of work I provide by what is in my portfolio so I'm assuming if we book a shoot, you know what you're getting.

I will not hand over RAW files, so please don't ask.

 

Styles

Headshot/Portrait, Fashion, Lingerie, Bodyscape/Body details, Art nude, Erotic.

ONLYFANS and PATREON content shoots are available but usually not on a TFP basis, feel free to ask though.

I like to cover multiple styles on each shoot, so will start with a couple of headshots/portraits to warm up and get used to interacting with the model, move on to fashion and then as the shoot progresses if the levels call for it, will move on to lingerie/bodyscape etc. Allowing the model time to relax and stay within their comfort levels.

As mentioned above, bodyscape and tasteful art nude are perhaps my favourite genres and are those I think I perform best at but I'm willing to entertain ideas across the board, so I'm definitely not a nudey only kinda guy, which I hope my portfolio shows. Which brings me on to...

 

FPI's

My FPI's can be found via the little yellow FPI icon underneath my profile header near the top of the page. It just so happens that my FPI's to date are mostly portrait shots, which I hope shows and proves some versatility re the above.

 

Publications

I don't submit to online magazines for publication usually but if you wish to do so, please let me know and I'll sort you out the permissions needed. Here are a couple that have been published so far:
