I have been a professional photographer since 1972. I have owned a successful studio, fed up with paying too much for rent and rates I now work from home. I prefer location shoots. I post process and print all my own work. Photoshop is used as a tool and not a requirement.
I am happy to shoot TFCD for new models and those that model as a hobby. I only pay to shoot a model if a commission I have requires models.
Advice is always free and I am happy to direct a model during a shoot. Model's input is always welcome.
