Optima Photography

I am an experienced photographer shooting most genres.

My current project ideas include:

• Portrait
• Fashion
• Creative / Surreal / BoHo and Hippy
• Costume especially vintage and steampunk
• Ethnic   

Beyond these current interests I am happy to shoot pretty much anything!

I am able to retouch images to a good standard, although I am by no means a high end retoucher.

PAYING MODELS

For specific shoots and opportunities I offer paid work to models. I am happy to be contacted on a speculative basis, by models looking for paid work. 

TF

I also work on a TF basis (or part pay part TF) in which case I will provide models with a wide range of images both edited and un-edited. I aim to get images to models within one week.

PAID WORK 

Although now a hobby photographer I still do paid assignments (portfolio builds, websites, promotional etc.) Please contact me for rates. 

LOCATION

 I work from a number of  studios and other premises in and around Bristol. I am also very keen on working  outdoors. I will work at model’s own locations. Whilst my preference is to work in the South West, I will consider opportunities anywhere in the UK.

MY APPROACH

I pride myself on quickly building strong rapport with models and others involved in a shoot and will go that extra mile to get that perfect shot. I prefer to be collaborative with models and others but will take the lead very happily. I plan shoots in advance and like to discuss the shoot before we start.

I am also on Starnow, Purestorm and Model Mayhem where more images can be found. I also have my own website.

I have good references on all my sites and I have never let anyone down or had a bad review.

So, whether you are looking for paid work or looking to pay for a professional portfolio please get in touch.
