Model for me?

My Photography | Things | Places | People | Locations

I am always on the lookout for new models to work with and I have several projects that I would like to work on in the coming months. I am interested in working with models who are creative and committed to producing images that are challenging to both model and viewer. If you think you have something to offer and have a unique selling point that can be capitalised upon to produce amazing results.

Some of my ideas are whacky and off beat, but I have no interest in making images that are not tasteful or only of interest to an audience that is looking for adult orientated photos. Take a look at my photos and if you like what you see then feel free to contact me to see if we can work together.

It should be noted that I live in Oxfordshire and am happy to travel to anywhere in a 60 mile radius of Faringdon (between Oxford and Swindon) to do a photo shoot, there is a preferred studio in Cheltenham that I like to work in, but I am always open to working on location or in a house or flat or other suitable building.

On a personal note, I prefer to work with models who are over 18 years of age, and have a natural figure that is in proportion with their height and without any enhancements such as breast implants, tattoo's and piercing's are not an issue, and if a model does have interesting tattoos or piercing's, I like to make a feature of them

Girl - Girl

One idea I want to pursue is a passionate Girl - Girl shoot with two girls who are comfortable with being intimate with each other in front of a camera, and can give a realistic depiction of a loving relationship. This does not necessarily need to be a full nude shoot, but would benefit from giving the impression that not much clothing is remaining on the models.

The image on right is an example of the style that I would expand upon and develop into an illustrated story of an all female relationship.

Humour

I like to inject a bit of humour into some of my images and the examples on the left, featuring Magnolia and Nitr0gene, Fire's Secret and S_Olivia, illustrate what I like to capture. Any ideas for injecting a bit of humour into a shoot are always welcome.

Tattoo's and Piercing's

I am fascinated by tattoos and pierced body parts, and would like to work with models who have large and intricate or unusually placed tattoo's, the more intricate the better.

If you are pierced in an unusual place, or have an unusual jewel in a piercing then I am also interested in photographing them. I understand that sometimes a piercing can be in a very intimate location, but discretion is assured if there are any worries.

Gold Plated

I do sometimes ask my models to get wet and messy, or in the case of the image on the left, cover her breasts with 'Dutch Metal' a process that was quite messy and involved using baby oil and water to make it adhere to her body.

If you are happy to get covered in chocolate or fancy taking a bath in custard or baked beans, then I am interested in working with you.

I am sometimes influenced by the photography of others, and one image that sticks in my mind is one of a nude waiteress in a book by Katya Grenfell titled Naked London, so if you are interested in just waering an apron and stockings for a waiteress job,let me know.

Other areas of interest for me are, Dance, Gymnastics, Body Painting, Wild Hair And Makeup, Wardrobe Malfunctions, Trash The Dress and Damsel In Distress.
