Paul Gooddy

 

Internationally published, professional photographer and digital artist, I mainly produce images for book covers, but I'm happy to undertake private commissions. I'm based in Southampton.

If you like my style and want to work with me then please read my notes and get in touch. My references should give you an idea of what it's like to work with me.

 

Do's:

I love to work with people who are looking to make interesting images, Fantasy, Steampunk, Sci-Fi, Gothic, Western and anything Post Apocalyptic are my main interests. I have a good selection of costumes and props to use and can always make more for the right project.

I shoot selective TF.

Its great to be added to someones want to work with list :-) , but please be realistic, if you live 150 miles away, want paying, or dont travel much its unlikely we'll get a shoot organised.

Models, please only contact me if you're looking for a TF shoot or to pay me for a shoot.

For images shot on a TF basis I always try to process images promptly (typically a maximum of 3 weeks), no waiting about for months and months for your images. Due to the time it takes to do composite images I usually supply 6 to 10 of these images from a TF shoot (it depends on the number of looks we do) sized for web use for you to use in your portfolio or social media. Normal shoots/non composite work I aim to supply 15 to 20 images. I always ask for a model release to be signed. Images are likely to be used for bookcovers.

On the rare occaisions I'm hiring I generally prefer to hire models I've worked with before on a TF basis.

Donts:

I dont pay travel expenses for TF/Collaborative shoots, I operate on a shoestring budget and spend what little money I have on props and costumes.

I dont shoot fashion TFP.

 

Chaperones

I've never said no to a chaperone but prefer you to check my references, there isnt much room in my studio space, which is in my home, and a chaperone just gets in the way. If you still feel you need one please let me know in advance, no boyfriends please. If you're under 18 I'll expect you to come with a parent or guardian (no parent or guardian, no shoot, no exceptions).

Retouching

Happy to work on your images as a retoucher if you want an image made into a fantasy work in my style, rates dependant on complexity of edit and start at £25.
