I am a full time professional photographer.  I am mainly looking for models/subjects for my fine art nude work, particularly those willing to work outside in the landscape.

I'd love to hear from anyone who would like to work with me, I'm shooting with hanging in a gallery, producing a book and online exhibition in mind.

I shoot art nude. I am kind to models, but a hard taskmaster. I prefer pubic hair and no tatoos/piercings on my models, but realise that only leaves two of you :)  So I suck it up.  I don't photoshop you, sorry. The women in my images are all real.

I have a studio in keswick, derwent photography, but I now split my time between the lake district and Benfleet, Essex, where my partner also has a studio. I will shoot all over the country if I am in the area, but I am particularly interested in shooting in Essex as it's new territory for me. I shoot this stuff as private commissions for paying clients also, obviously they don't feature on these sites or my artnude site, but I'd love to shoot with models down here to find new locations. I would also be interested in shooting models in their homes, as this may work better for client's down here, offering a bit more privacy.

Essex is a lot busier than Cumbria :)

A couple of years ago I shot a calendar for the MS Society, featuring fine art nude landscape shots of local girls with ms, kind of like a calendar girls but the next logical step :) which sold out within three weeks of launch. we pleased  raised £16,000 ring fenced for ms research from the calendar sales.
