Hi There and welcome to my portfolio. I am a young and enthusiastic photographer, and have been wielding a camera since I was about 14 doing mainly school events and live performances. Since leaving school about 7 years ago, I have done a lot of video work (music and commercial) and a lot of product photography, landscapes, animal and portrait photography, but its time to broaden my horizons.

As of recent I have done some wedding shoots as well for friends and family which went very well but I would like to steer in more of a portrait style shooting. The reason for me being on this website is to boost my knowledge and skills with working with models and learn how to constantly better myself with posing, giving/ receiving directions, and adapting to different situations. I am constantly self evaluating and adjusting my shooting methods etc and all the images I take are for personal records and evaluation so I most likely won't be posting, submitting or sending the images anywhere unless the model wants me to (I don't mind either way and I will obviously check with the model before posting ANYTHING. I am also happy to tag you in anything I post). Also you will get ALL images taken on the shoot both in RAW and edited which you can use as you see fit. As I probably won't be posting the images, I can edit to a style you prefer as well. The images won't be watermarked in any way nor do I demand being tagged in any photos you post.

Although I am very passionate and have a lot of experience, I don't do photography as a full time occupation therefore I am still under the "Hobbyist" umbrella. Maybe one day I will make the leap to doing this full time. I remain professional in my conduct and attitude etc, and I don't push boundaries. If asked to do anything you are not comfortable with, I don't want the model to "suffer in silence" and regret it later but prefer you to speak up and we will move onto something else. Most of my shoots are very relaxed and not crazily fast paced so gives us time to explore and get the best out of the location.

Lastly, I am very outgoing and creative and love trying anything new. If you come to shoot with me, I hope you laugh at me as much as I laugh at myself....I am more than capable of making a idiot of myself by walking into things or tripping up over imaginary objects and fresh air etc. I always have plenty of smoke bombs and other misc props on me as well so always up for something whacky or different.

I am also fully vaccinated.

please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested. I will obviously listen to what you would like out of the shoot as well so we both benefit from it. can't wait to hear from you!!!
