Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. My aim is to develop a more rounded folio through greater exposure with like-minded photographers, studios and (where appropriate) partner models.

Approaching my work professionally

I love to tell a story through pictures to show the direction, movement and mood of the tale. I'm very comfortable and confident in front of the camera, have no difficulty in taking direction and am very happy working solo or with a partner. If called for, I can work on location as well as in the studio or indoors.

I believe in arriving on time, keeping in regular contact with people with whom I'm working and organising my wardrobe and accessories thoroughly. I find a little humour helps to relieve tension during a shoot. I can undress to camera (you spend a year in Finland going to sauna regularly and you also learn a lot about self-confidence), doing role play and cosplay and am willing to wear costumes in the cause of art.

Preferred collaboration work

My rates are negotiable depending on requirements. I am happy to travel to chosen venues in order to bring a project or assignment to life. My hobbies include astronomy, palaeontology, Nordic massage and slow cooking. We are all heavenly bodies and ought to celebrate their variety and diversity. I'm open to trying new things at least once, so I'm happy to experiment.
