About me

A fellow photographer probably described me better than I ever could in one of my references:
"He's so laid back, he may fall over"

I take pride in being a laid back, mellow chap. Especially in this day and age where so many people seem to go out of their way to find reasons to be angry...I go in the opposite direction. For me, photography is an escape from everyday madness - unless of course, that is the theme of the shoot.

For the past few years, I have struggled with a creative block that I am determined to overcome. I did declare that 2020 would be the year to go all out or give up, but covid19 had other ideas.
I am not going to give up on a whim, so maybe 2021/22 will be the deciding years.

My profile name is there to separate my professional life from my photography. If you chat to me, you'll soon learn my real name as I'm in no way trying to hide my identity from the world.

What to expect

As already mentioned, I am not a bog shoot director, I prefer shoots to be a collaboration between all involved. I think (hope) it reflects in the images when all parties are contributing to them. So please don't think I'll be barking directions; I am actually relatively quiet while shooting.

I don't push levels, I don't get ratty or stroppy, I do try to have a bit of a laugh/joke/chat while of course, remaining professional.

I am happy to shoot on location or from my tiny home studio (The Mancave). Would also consider hiring other studios for the right shoot.

What am I seeking

Right now I am just looking to shoot as and when possible to blow the cobwebs off my gear and get back into the swing of things. I have a few ideas hidden up my sleeves for when the right model comes along but am also happy to shoot other folks' ideas too or to come up with something prior to a shoot. Financial restrictions mean I can mostly just work TFP but if you're going to be in the area, please do drop me a message - if I have the time & money I am always happy to shoot.

Equally - happy working with newbies as I am working with more seasoned creatives.

Social media

This is still a mystery to me, I cannot understand how you all get so many followers or upload so frequently, but I'll do my best to keep up.
