Pentaxpete

Hobbyist photographer working out of hired studios in the midlands, but willing to travel for the right project.

I aim to be reliable, relaxed & flexible to get the best for my model, the studio & me

I give 100% commitment to you while we are together, it’s all teamwork to make the dreams work.

I do have a set of rules that I myself follow

I always give the model space unless any assistance is needed, & that is by your request only

little things like I take my shoes off so I can feel if the area we’re in is warm or cold for you,

I always aim to be there before you

(Unless it’s a studio day) & leave with you,

carrying you bag if necessary

We’re a team from start to finish, but I’m a bit old fashioned & good old fashioned manners goes a long way

Always giving you the consideration,

I love to build up a rapour with the models, messages & ideas so we’re ready to go before we start,

& I love working with models on multiple shoots,

We always come away with ideas from conversations & what we’ve seen on the day,

You can ask me ANYTHING, you won’t offend me

(That’s not a challenge) & at worst it would be a polite

No, but that always goes both ways.

I have good sense of humour, as this is a hobby I always want it to be bubbly & fun,

Resting bitchface looks great on pics, but smiles & laughter mean it’s all going well, & I always want 1 smiling pic.

I have a sense of adventure.

& motorbikes a plenty, so don’t be shocked if I turn up in a helmet if the shoot is in a nice area

I do have a perfectly good car, but that’s boring ;)

I’m Still learning the finer details, but I sincerely think my pictures & references show it’s worth spending time to make it right, happy to work with amateurs & professionals alike, we all learn a little off others,

I now have my own lighting

2 newer vision 4 flash heads

(rechargeable, no leads) 

With1 24” defuser (a pig to transport)

a flash brolly & small shrouds with diffusers

& 2 basic video lighting light with soft boxes

 

but working out of different studios means i get a lot of different backdrops,

but it’s all good practice

& most definitely good fun

Thanks for getting this far & not flossing over the words

Pete
