Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am a photographer based in Poole and occasionally in London. 

How I'm Working in 2024

I am reshooting my entire portfolio in 2024, focusing on headshots and portraiture.

My shooting days primarily fall on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. However, I understand the importance of flexibility and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests. Please take a look at my calendar for my current availability.

I tend to shoot for a maximum of three hours.

I prefer to pay (including travel) or collaborate with experienced and/or agency-represented models who fit the look I am going for or people with interesting faces who can convey expression. I find working with people who know what they're doing more enjoyable. There is a massive distinction between 'direction' and 'teaching.' Honestly, I am not the best teacher.

From June 2024, I will work with a professional hair and makeup artist on some of my shoots; I will let you know if an HMUA will be at our shoot before we confirm a booking. This may mean I ask for an unedited headshot to send to the HMUA for their approval. 

If we decide to collaborate, I'll create a unique mood board for our shoot. You can add your ideas to it, and together, we can devise a shoot that works for both of us.

Although I do try to respond to every message and confirm bookings, please bear in mind that I have ADHD and sometimes forget things, so please nudge me (politely) if I fail to respond.

If you work with me, you can expect to be treated with dignity and respect, and I ask the same in return. Models who are pushy, rude, or come across as divas will be ignored and blocked (thankfully, I've only had to do this once so far). Ultimately, I'm here to improve, have fun, and enjoy my photography.

Terms and Conditions (Non-Negotiable)

• If I pay you as a model, I will only give you images of my choice at my discretion (I usually do). Money is payment; nothing else is to be expected in terms of photos.
• If we collaborate (TFP/ Part Pay), you choose the eight photos you want from the shoot, and I will retouch them to a high-end standard and send you high-resolution files within ten working days.
• I do not allow models to edit my photos or apply filters under any circumstances.
• All my work is intended for my portfolio; my images will not be commercialised.
• I do not do any nude work at all, as having worked in healthcare for many years, I have seen enough bits and bobs to last me a lifetime; my levels are up to commercial lingerie (think Calvin Klein and not Ann Summers)

Safety

Lastly, I want you to know that your physical and psychological safety is paramount to me. So, my DBS background check is up-to-date and clean, and I am happy to provide proof of this, including photographic ID, to anyone who wants to work with me; I am also 100% okay with you bringing a chaperone.
