Welcome to my MC page

--//--

After 5 years of trial and error I think I may be starting to develop a style of my own - not overly-complicated with regards lighting and photoshop effects but images that, I hope, give a sense of the subject, their personality and mood. I love what I do but am also my harshest critic so find myself constantly experimenting and trying to find better, more interesting, ways to bring my ideas to life.

I work on a freelance basis and usually only take on assignments and projects if they really capture my imagination. I freely admit that I take what I do quite seriously, but also like everyone involved to enjoy themselves in the process - if it's not fun, what's the point ...?

Ongoing projects ;

Portraiture - this is my 1st love and what originally brought me to photography

Equestrian - horse & rider/owner portraits

Dance - mainly interested in unusual and "out of context" ideas

Fashion - of the elegant, timeless (or utterly outrageous and totally bonkers!) variety

Nudes - ditto the above. I have no interest in glamour or explicit work

Current projects ;

Bodypaint - I have lots of ideas but am also open to yours

Faux Fetish - for visual effect only and with a dynamic/arty/fashion-y emphasis

Underwater - very much at the experimental stage, but planning to develop this as much as possible
