Hello!! If you're looking for my photography portfolio on Purpleport, it is here! [link removed]

-About Me-

I am a Worthing, West Sussex based hobbyist photographer, but also dabble in a bit of modelling here and there and felt it was more appropriate to have a separate account for each as my references were becoming a mix of too much and felt it was unfair for photographers or models who wished to work together to have to sift through the relevant writings!

-Past Experience-

My main experience has been with cosplay work, having built up a selection of costumes and outfits over the past ten years. My focus previously was on the construction and presentation, rather than the modelling and posing, so I am still fairly 'fresh' to the scene and am trying to learn as much as I can to not only improve my confidence on the other side of the lens- but build up knowledge on posing and modelling to further assist my photography work with other models! I believe a lot of the skills used in photography and modelling can be transferable and be used to build on each other.

-Relevant Information-

I AM PRIMARILY A PHOTOGRAPHER. I'm not trying to become Purpleports next big model, I'm simply trying to broaden my skills and learn as much as I can!!

I had my appendix out a couple of years ago via laparoscopy and whilst the scarring is minimal (the fine, white kind of scarring: two, centimetre or so lines), photographers may wish to edit this out if visible. Muscle tone was also lost because of the extended healing period, so I'm not currently comfortable with swimwear/two pieces etc with that being the focus. That being said my fitness is returning slowly.

My M.E. also means I bruise fairly easily, I would minimise the appearance with makeup or tights, but it's worth mentioning.

I have a small, black ink, lavender sprig tattoo on my right upper thigh. It can be covered by makeup if necessary.

-Side Notes-

I am currently long-term ill with M.E. and cannot travel far for shoots, unfortunately, though my fitness levels are much improved comparitively, photographers must bear in mind that I might need to rest every now and then- especially if shooting on location with hills or rough ground.
