Experience:
I am a very experienced, agency-signed, professional male model, looking for paid work only. My portfolio includes a wide range of modelling styles, from commercial and fashion, through to fitness, dance and artistic. I have represented a diverse selection of professional clients and businesses during my modelling career, which includes significant TV and media exposure, and I have been fortunate to work with many renowned and established photographers and models during this time. I negotiate my fee depending on the job and its requirements, though I have a minumum half day rate of £125 plus travel. Very exceptionally, I may work TFP on a project... if so, I request a copy of the RAW image files following the shoot. FEMALE MODELS - I have a large body of 'couples' work, and as such I do not do TFP in this respect. If a female model would like to shoot with me, they will either (a) need to find a photographer who is willing to pay for such a shoot; or (b) be willing to pay me themselves. I work very closely with 'Katy' as a professional modelling couple, and it is unfair to charge photographers to shoot me in one respect and not in another. I have a home studio to shoot from, with complete kit (3 x stobes, 2 x continuous lights, shoot-through umbrella's, bounce unbrella's, soft boxes, relectors, a snoot, filters, etc). In addition, I have access to a number of unique locations - these locations include a 13 acre private plot (3 acre lake, small wood, stables, industrial units and machinery, workshop, wood piles, etc), a fitness gym, a boxing gym, and a dance studio. This is also available for private hire. Please ask for more details.

Comments:
I am a friendly, happy, and outgoing guy and I pride myself on being professional to work with, both in taking direction and in offering creative ideas and suggestions. A former officer in the marines, I am now a qualfied barrister, with degree's in biochemistry and law, as well being a qualified teacher, masseur and boxing coach... I would describe myself as a Jack of all trades (arguably a master of none!). Away from modelling, I dance (ballroom and latin) and run my own charity foundation called 'always with a smile'. Physically I keep my body in shape all year round, through boxing, weight training and dancing, and I have a natural/toned look. If you are located in these areas and would like to arrnage a shoot then please get in touch.

I contacted Joel about a couples shoot together a month or so ago now and he promptly replied saying 'yes'. I was so nervous but excited about working with a male model and especially him as I've seen so much of his work around over the time I've been modelling. I can honestly it was one of the best experiences I have had and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Joel had been rushed into hospital 2 days before our shoot for an emergency operation yet he still wouldn't cancel the shoots...what a trooper! He was in severe pain yet still managed to do the shoots together and be such fun to work with and be around. He is a great host, looking after me and feeding me and making sure I was warm.
Joel is in top shape and is a very good looking man, I imagine it would be hard to get a bad picture of him. The images I have seen back of us together are amazing and from the feedback on our shoots I believe we worked very well together and showed an affinity between us.
I would highly recommend you to work with Joel, be it solo or on couples shoots, he really is a true professional and deserves even more recognition. Thank you, Tillie x

I worked with Joel yesterday as part of a shoot with Tillie. Very professional, very easy to work with and excellent at helping to get some brilliant images.

Shot with Joel on an underwater shoot yesterday. Joel is really nice guy, an incredibly talented and hard working model and made a superb contribution to the day with constructive input and suggestions. Joel has the ability to see the shot from the perspective of the photographer and this makes a huge difference to the end result. Very highly recommended.
