How did you get into photography? |
 |
|||||||||||
I intended to create my own paysite and figured I would have a go at doing the photography myself, found it was something I had a talent for, the website never happened as I went freelance after my 3rd shoot. |
||||||||||||
 |
How did your first nude shoot go? |
|||||||||||
Very surreal and very nerdy! I was so sure of myself and over-prepared (including an agenda printed out!) but all went to crap as soon as I started and if I'm honest I was petrified and crap, but got such a buzz from achieving a lifelong ambition I carried on with the thinking it would never be as hard as that first time (pardon the pun!) |
||||||||||||
Shot abroad yet? |
 |
 |
||||||||||
Trying my best not to, as long as I can find UK talent I will shoot here, but sadly I think it's inevitable. Though Prague, Budapest etc. are overused, perhaps I will try Craggy Island? That said I would love to shoot in tropical sun, sea & sand sometime. |

 |
What do you love most about the job? |
||||||||||
Being my own boss and customers that allow me to shoot pretty much whatever I want, getting mag front covers, oh and shooting nekid girlies is nice too! The down side is the editing, a real chore for me but figure I will employ an assistant to do that shortly (until they get bored of it too!) |
||||||||||||
What makes a great model for you? |
 |
|||||||||||
So many factors make a great model, but attitude is the most important, my ideal model would.. Ensure she looks the best she can for every shoot (hair, nails, clothing, lingerie, makeup etc.) Wants the best possible results from a shoot as much as I do, has plenty of facial expressions & poses in her arsenal (yes arsenal!) and to participate with ideas. |

 |
Any tips for new photographers? |
||||||||||
It's a tough business to stand out in, don't expect too much too soon, set realistic goals, remember the next shoot should always be better than the last, and most important - Enjoy it! |
||||||||||||
Ideal location to Shoot at? |
 |
 |
||||||||||
I would love the budgets some TV commercials & Pop Videos have, some of the sets they use are fantastic, I'm always trying to think of new ideas & sets but often budget dictates what I settle for. Though my ultimate place to shoot at is the Liverpool football ground Anfield but Jim 'L' Fix It has ignored my letters so far! |
