| How did you get into photography? |  |
|||||||||||
| I started out as a designer and used to have my products | ||||||||||||
| photographed, by another pro, the results coming back were less | ||||||||||||
| than satisfactory so I bought a cheap SLR and One thing led to | ||||||||||||
| another, after a long stint in fine art nude photography my love for | ||||||||||||
| the female form led me into the adult work that I produce now! | ||||||||||||
 |
How did you first nude shoot go? | |||||||||||
| The first time I did a nude shoot I wasn't nervous at all that may | ||||||||||||
| seem surprising, but as I went through art school for 6 years, I had | ||||||||||||
| learnt to deal or see nudity with out bringing sex into it!!! Also | ||||||||||||
| growing up in a household with quite liberal parents really helped I | ||||||||||||
| guess, so nothing phases me at all! It just seems like second nature | ||||||||||||
| What's your experience of the internet been like? |  |
|||||||||||
| The internet is a wonderful invention and I've only really been on it | ||||||||||||
| for a few years now, its been an excellent way to find new talent with | ||||||||||||
| all the model sites out there! And all the agency sites save time and | ||||||||||||
| travel and postage to get to see the new models, I honestly cant live | ||||||||||||
| without it now! | ||||||||||||
 |
Have you worked with any models in the US? | |||||||||||
| Surprisingly I have not had the opportunity to work in the US for | ||||||||||||
| shoots my publishers out there always ask me to shoot in the UK | ||||||||||||
| British girls/Czech girls and models from all over the world come to | ||||||||||||
| the UK, as thats what they like out in the states cause most of our | ||||||||||||
| girls are still natural (no silicone) at 18 - 21!!! | ||||||||||||
| Do you have plans to go digital? |  |
|||||||||||
| Not at the moment, I'm still a traditionalist when it comes to the | ||||||||||||
| quality film produces over digital, and seeing kodak and fuji films are | ||||||||||||
| getting even closer to kodachrome with the finer grain technologies | ||||||||||||
| each year, I'm sticking with it for the time being! I may eventually go | ||||||||||||
| digital if the publishers I work for say I must, I will, with reluctance! | ||||||||||||
 |
Any advice for new photographers? | |||||||||||
| Work hard!!! And long hours!!! Take lots of criticism, and push to | ||||||||||||
| find out from the publishers, where you went wrong!!! But never | ||||||||||||
| pester them!!!! As you're never get any work that way!!! And lastly | ||||||||||||
| never ever give up!!! Good luck! | ||||||||||||
| Plans for the future? |  |
|||||||||||
| Continue to shoot lots! And meet lots of new people on the way! And | ||||||||||||
| try to remain committed to the industry whatever it throws at you!! | ||||||||||||
