Experience:
Photography is not my full-time occupation although I've carried out assignments for local companies and national charities having had articles published in hard copy and online. Mostly this has been outside of the modelling industry with the exception of some advertising. My images here show examples from shoots that hopefully display a range in genre and style. My preference is location photography as I enjoy creating images that incorporate the space around the model as well as the subject itself. I also own studio lighting that can be used for indoor asssignments or for using in poor lighting conditions on location. Through this site I'm looking to further my experience in working with models and learning the art of direction and portraiture hopefully creating images that tell a story.

Comments:
Being an amateur photographer I enjoy working on new ideas and locations from retro, quirky styles to alternative art and fashion. I have other interests and hobbies that I dedicate my time to as well as photography and as such can only arrange shoots via modelling websites. I seldom use msm or social networking sites so this is my best point of contact. I will provide my phone number once a shoot has been agreed and I'm happy to meet prior to any shoot with any models to discuss ideas. If you like my style of photography and are looking to add to your portfolio then please feel free to get in touch. My preference for shoots is on weekdays as weekends are taken up with other activities although some weekends are free. I'm also happy to provide transport to any models in and around the local area to avoid the hassles of public transport! Pete
