Simon Bond Photography

Hi. Thanks for visiting my portfolio. My name is Simon and I am a well respected and fully professional published photographer based in the UK specialising in fashion, glamour and figure art photography. I am highly creative in my work which I love and I travel extensively around the UK for both studio and location work.

Events: In the last six months alone I have covered major events including London Fashion Week, Moda Spring Fair, Miss England, Max Power, UK Swimsuit Girls, UK Glamour Awards and Miss Nations International.

Publications: I have produced several commercial calendars and worked with a range of glamour, fashion and art  magazines with 13 front covers in the last year. Recent publications include Babe (cover), Babedium (cover), Blaze (cover), Charliez Angels (2 covers), Darkly, Darkly Arts (cover), Edith, Edith Arts (cover), Inkd Savage (2 covers), Integrity (editorial), International Babez (cover), Makeda, Retro Lovely (twice), Swanky, Swing (cover), Twisted Edge (twice), Uncover (cover), Unveil, Vigour, Violet Light, Xhibit (cover) with many more in the pipeline.

References: I have been lucky enough to shoot some fabulous models that have asked me for repeat shoots, check out my references. If you are fairly new to modelling then don’t worry, coaching can be provided with or without a trained model to help you fulfil your full potential and create stunning photos. Modelling can be a massive confidence boost and help you realise your true potential.

What I offer: My aim is to work with you the model to achieve high quality and professionally edited images which if you wished to, could be suitable for publication. I work in collaboration with you to help you achieve your end result and provide you with a professional and reliable service.  I am easy going, extremely creative and aim for every shoot to be a lot of fun whilst remaining completely professional and respectful of privacy and boundaries. I have invested very heavily in professional cameras, lighting and editing suites and use my technical expertise to provide you with the best quality images that I as a professional and my equipment can accomplish.

Studios: I am based in Shropshire and have access to local studios in Telford and Wednesbury for daytime, early evening and weekend shoots. I also have access to studios across the UK with the majority of my work from studios in the Midlands, Manchester and London. I organise regular studios days for models to build their portfolios with myself and selected professional photographers. Next event is a fashion shoot 9 March in the Midlands, DM me for details.

How I work: One to one shoots are a minimum of three hours to maximise the time we have to create good content.  I can of course also shoot duos, groups, and organise promotional events for your brand with additional professional photographers. The agreed number of edited images will be supplied to you within a maximum of 7 days of the shoot or as agreed with you prior to the shoot. I am very conscientious and have only cancelled once in my career and that was after a car accident.

Portfolio: I have separate Instagram accounts for the three main areas of my business. Glamour: https://www.instagram.com/simonbondphotographer Fashion: https://www.instagram.com/simonbond.photofashion Art: https://www.instagram.com/simonbond.photoart

Rates: I work on an hourly or daily basis and my rates are dependent on studio and travelling fees, message me for a quotation. I also offer shoots on a TFP basis if it is of benefit to both of us but sorry I very rarely pay for shoots unless it is something unique. 

I have built very good working relationships with models who are happy with the quality of my work and the way I work. As a result they have asked me for repeat shoots and referred me to others. I love meeting people and creating beautiful and imaginative images and look forward to meeting and working with you.

Finally if you like my images, feel free to suggest them as a FrontPage Image 😇 (The grey cog icon on your top right when viewing a photo).
