Replicant

Hi, I'm Dave. I'm probably best described as a flabby old git that forgot to grow up.

I'm a keen amateur photographer. I've no interest in making money from photography. I do it because I love it. An old hand with film but a relative newcomer to digital, there's been a camera close to my hand for the past forty years. I've always had a creative bent (they can't touch you for it) and much of my working life has revolved around lights and lighting effects.

I've been involved in digital art for the past ten years, using Photoshop, Poserpro, 3DSMax and anything else I can throw into the mix. I'm a huge admirer of Boris Vallejo and Luis Royo. Both of them use photographs as the start point for their art and although I can never match them I can't think of any better way to try to emulate what they do.

I am perfectly happy to travel anywhere in the UK to work with models who have a look that interests me. I'm equally happy to pay for said models to come to me. That will start happening as soon as I finish renovating my flat and have my home studio completed. In the meantime I hire studio time, shoot outdoors or look for models who shoot from home.

I would particularly like to hear from any model whose wardrobe lends itself to Steampunk or Fantasy themes.
