Experience:
I did a great deal of portrait work in the old black and white film days, mainly doing family portraits for friends and relatives. In those days I did all my own processing - these days I enjoy enhancing and editing with Photoshop and Portrait Professional. Working with film and chemicals gave me a great deal of experience in the basics of photography. and in particular in photographing people. In these digital days I do a good deal of landscape photography, but my interest in photographing people has been rekindled, and I have found a new passion in portraiture and nude photography.

Comments:
I am currently looking for attractive female models for TF assignments, both for portraiture and nude. I will also photograph young-looking shaved males 18 - 21 years old for a fee (please ask for details). I have a small home studio - a converted bedroom with studio lights, backgrounds and a large bed. Virtually all the photographs in my portfolio here were taken in my studio. If you prefer, I can come to your own home or your own location within about 30 miles of Leicester. I am happy to do G/G or G/B shooots at your own location. I am currently interested in portraiture and nude shoots (all levels) and at present I am keen to experiment with natural light shots, silhouette shots, oiled body shots and monochrome, though I am happy to go along with any ideas of your own. If you are new to modelling, that is not a problem, and in fact this is a golden opportunity for you to start or add to your portfolio while enjoying yourself at the same time. If you're inexperienced, I will help you in getting the best poses - if you're experienced I'm happy for you to express yourself without direction. The shoot would normally be a minimum of two hours, but this can be extended for as long as you wish with appropriate breaks for refreshment etc. After the shoot, I will go through all the shots, discarding any that are below standard, and editing and enhancing the remainder in Photoshop and Portrait Professional to produce a selection for your own use. These I will email to you as low resolution images (for web use). If you want higher resolution copies (for printing / publication) I will provide a link to enable you to download the high resolution copies or can supply them on CD. For those special shots that you particularly like, I will spend more time editing them to produce the very best images possible. You will normally receive your emailed photographs within a day or so of the shoot - I won't keep you waiting for them. I can also provide professionally printed copies up to A3 size of selected photographs, mounted if required, though I would normally make a charge for these to cover costs. I will also take videos if you require. Please note that I will not publish any of your photographs in any way if you ask me not to, so you can be assured of complete discretion, though I would expect you to let me use some in my Purestorm portfolio. Though I retain the copyright you have my permission to use them yourself in any way you wish. I am a very informal and reliable person, easy to get on with, and will respond to your emails promptly normally the same day(and very often immediately), and once a booking is made I will be there (barring illness or real emergency, in which case I would let you know asap) and would expect the same from you. I don't want time-wasters! If you cancel a shoot within 18 hours of the agreed time I will leave a negative or neutral feedback depending on the circumstances. I am a very patient and easy-going sort of person, but have been let down on many occasions by 'models' who have just not turned up after arranging a shoot, so I have to say that if you fail to turn up without prior cancellation I will automatically leave a No Show-No Reason feedback if I haven't heard from you. If you are not serious about keeping to arrangements for a shoot, please do not waste my time. I also need a phone number that I can contact you on and phone you the day beforehand, and on the day of the shoot to finalise arrangements. I always leave feedback after the shoot (up to now every feedback I have given for a shoot that has taken place has been a good one). I will also give you my phone number if you would prefer to discuss a shoot on the phone. I am currently available most evenings, also Mondays, Wednesdays. most Sundays and alternate Saturdays. I enjoy photographing attractive models, but do not profit from it, so I only do TF and commission shoots but am usually happy to make a contribution to your travelling expenses on a TF nude shoot. I get satisfaction from knowing that I can help a model further her career with a good portfolio. Owing to space and their intrusiveness (from experience), I don't allow chaperones in my own studio, but it's OK if the shoot is at your own home and the chaperone is either in another room or takes part in the shoot. Take a look at my portfolio, and if it appeals, and you have a genuine interest in a shoot - either portraiture or nude, or both, are reliable, and have good communications, and are not going to do a 'no show' do get in touch - I'll look forward to hearing from you.

I had a shoot with David today and had a fab time! I felt comfortable from the beginning and he was very professional making sure he was set up before I got there. We came up with some great shots and I cannot wait to receive them. Pre communication was great. I would definitely work with him again and would highly recommend him. Thank you!

David was a dream to work with! Really helpful for a beginner like myself to have such honest and helpful direction. Will have some really good shots from the day and would absolutely recommend David to any models looking to expand their portfolio!
