I am Simon and I am fairly new to photography and is currently just a hobby.  I am in the Shropshire area, near Shrewsbury / Market Drayton and am looking for female models (over 18s) for TFP photo shoots in Shropshire to build my portfolio and to improve my photography skills.  If interested please send me a dm. 

A little about myself, about 3 years ago I had to retire from playing amateur sport after one to many injuries had finally taken its toll.  I was quickly bored and to fill the void I needed to find a new hobby, as I have always had an interest in photography I decided to buy my first DSLR and learnt how to shoot manually.  I still wanted to be involved in sport so to combine the two I started to get involved with sport photography which has now become my main passion.  However, I still wanted to learn more and did a studio day with a local photography and model and absolutely loved the experience.  I then did a 2 week studio/photography course, learning about lighting, composition etc.  Now post course I feel I need to practice those skills as i will soon loose the knowledge I have gained.  So I purchased to flashes, a trigger and 2 umbrellas and light stands, they are only basic no strobes or softbox and lovely back drops, however my aim is to come proficient with these before I decide to move to the next level.  

Therefore, along with my sport photography https://[url removed] [link removed] I plan to get involved with some more studio days with experienced photographers and models to learn lighting techniques and composition.  Also to do some model shoots using my limited equipment to try and master my gear and to create some great photos.
