I've been semi-professional since 1989, mostly in magazine, catalogue and glamour. Now mostly focussing on artistic erotica, mostly for three particular websites but also private collections. I am aiming for images which are compelling and erotic without being sordid, degrading, offensive or (worst of all!) kitsch. So very different from the sort of standard glamour that appears in most magazines. Photographers whose work I admire would include Helmut Newton, Roy Stuart, etc.
I enjoy this work, and have made many good friends on both sides of the camera, so am always interested to discuss and build on models' own ideas.
I have no problem with paying suitable models and I'm not generally keen on TFP deals; they often seem to lead to too much compromise on what each party wants. I'm always happy to give a model copies of images of herself, but prefer a clear agent/client understanding.
I am particularly interested in working with very naturalistic models and perhaps also more mature models. However, as for most photographers, tattoos and piercings are a definite minus! And, for my principal current project at least, unshaved is a definite plus!
