Hi. I am a freelance photographer. I have helped a number of models to improve their portfolios. I’ll will cover most genres. I have developed ‘genre ideas sheets’ (on lingerie, 50s pin-up, boudoir, urban, tribal, art, nature, classic, Monroe), and also advice notes on areas such as poses, clothes, make-up etc, to help inexperienced models.

I do not limit pictures I give to models on TFCD, and share those that are good enough. I undertake risk assessments on location shoots; I issue model/photographer contracts to protect both parties. I will accommodate chaperones provided they abide by the terms and conditions of the shoot. I expect any model to be as professional in approach as possible, even if she/he is inexperienced.

I have a home studio with selection of backdrops, full-length mirror, various props, clothes and some make up. I also know of suitable locations within an hour’s drive, so can cover most situations.

I am also an artist, and I will accept commissions!

My photography experience has included war zones, weddings, and sports action, so nothing will phase me.
