Hi,

My name is Rich and I'm taking my first steps into hobby photography.  I'm brand new to all of this and just looking to develop my skills and experience, at this stage.

I'm interested in photography of all disciplines, but I would particularly like to try my hand at alt fashion and pin up photography, hopefully progressing into and art nude and possibly erotica in the future.

I am literally just starting out and I'm looking to work with some experienced (and patient!) models, in order to progress.  I don't have the experience or the confidence at present so as to be able to direct and pose my models, and so I'm very much looking for experienced models, who can effectively take care of that side of things for me, so as to allow me to focus on developing my technical camera skills.

I'm based in the Liverpool/Wirral area, but don't have a home studio or anything like that, so shoots will generally either be on location, or at a hired studio. Models will generally be expected to travel.

I don't expect that I would have too much to offer in the way of trade arrangements, and so I will mostly be looking to offer payment for modelling services at this stage.  From there, and once I'm a little more capable, I'll mostly be looking at trade arrangements, as this is very much a hobby.

I've made a few friends in the industry, and they have helped me to take my first baby steps into the field, having been so kind as to give me some lessons and the chance to take part in my first shoot, and whilst I don't have any other experience or reputation to call upon just now, my hope is that they would perhaps be kind enough to vouch for me, if required.

Thank you.
