BACKGROUND
I trained for the stage as a classical dancer and turned to photography following a career threatening injury almost thirty years ago.
I first worked shooting tests for three agencies - models and dancers, and was the UK's highest grossing fundraiser for Photo Aid (part of Live Aid / Band Aid) in 1986. I moved much more to commercial advertising graphics work in print and online in 1994 and also shot architecture mainly for the tourism industry.
WHAT I AM DOING NOW
Apart form acting as an official scout for a major London model agency, I am now dividing the bulk of my time between commissioned calendar and fine art print work, erotic / artistic / glamour / fetish nude photo sets for major websites and commercial work. I am specifically seeking suitable models for publication normally on a syndication or royalty share basis. Models should be slim to medium build, firm supported bust (natural or implants), good complexion (I am not spending hours airbrushing), well-toned, minimal or no tattoos unless the job demands it, limited piercings or none again unless the job demands it, always fully depilated, and prepared to work from at least artistic nude up to at least UK mag and occasionally higher levels. Happy to work on profit share / syndication basis with good models. If you want a clear explanation of what "adult" involves then please ask. Classical dance experience is an advantage but not a requirement.
The remainder of my work is largely dance, artistic and erotic nude for speculative publication and for my own website, and again I especially like working with models who are classically trained dancers, but again is by no means a requirement.
Due to the amount of commercial work I am now doing I am limiting TF work to testing models who specifically meet my current and prospective future requirements at the above levels. I use TF to test models for future syndication, publication and paid work.
I am happy to provide models with TF at topless and higher levels if I have time available. This will normally comprise three hours shooting and two hours photo editing. I provide proofs of all images taken (bloopers excluded), and will edit up to twelve which I supply at high definition for printing and standard definition for online use. If YOU advertise a TF casting on this site, then please do not suddenly change that and expect me to pay you or your travelling expenses from a TF casting. Please remember you can claim travelling expenses in your tax return, even for TF work.
I have full studio facilities at home and a portable professional studio kit for work away from home.
If I am going to work with you, I expect as much from you as you would expect from me. I respect my models and I hope that is evident from the testimonials they have given to me.
THIS NEXT BIT IS VERY IMPORTANT. I have arthritic thumbs; I do not use SMS text except in an emergency. (I type with my fingers).
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE communicate with me by PHONE AND MAINSTREAM EMAIL over shoot requirements, be prepared, arrive on time, but still have fun. I normally shoot 50 minutes and take break - we both need it. I welcome chaperones although I find most experienced models do not expect to have a chaperone present. All I do ask is - please, not the boyfriend, unless you have asked me in advance! I always confirm shoots by phone the day before we are due to meet.
Comments:
I no longer list all models I have worked with. There are just too many.
