When photographing a wedding or a set of
portraits my aim is to provide a range of photographs that reflect your
wishes. This can be a mix of formal, informal, creative and/or reportage
style photographs. My relevant experience started as a model in front of camera and
extended later as a
photographer. This dual background and my creative eye, enable me to help you
to get the best photographs. Together we capture both carefully posed but
relaxed compositions as well as those that arise spontaneously.
While a photographer needs to adapt to the location and weather
(whether taking portraits on locations or photographing weddings
or social events) I always seek to make most use of natural light.
My style is flexible and I seek to customise my
cover to your wishes. Much of my work is at a location of the client's
choosing. For tutorials the content of each session is tailored to your
needs and progression.
Good photography needs professional
processing and printing. I work with digital photography and also offer both colour and black and white
film and select my laboratories to meet the needs of the situation.
Most albums are custom built to your order.
With my main practice in the UK - Surrey, London and the
Home Counties, I carry
out most of my assignments at your home, office or location suitable to
you, in the region and occasionally the West
Country. I am also happy to travel to larger assignments outside those
areas. To arrange to review my portfolio and to discuss the cover for your
wedding, or portraits or social events; or to enquire after
photography tutorials please ring me, 9am to 9pm seven
days a week on +44 (0) 845 644 7030. For E-mail see Contact Details.
I look forward to discussing with you
the photography or photographic tuition that you seek.
