Thought I originally trained in Advertising, I spent the majority of my working life in finance, property and property developement both here in the UK, Europe, Far/Middle East, Australia and America. During this time I also took up photography firstly in wildlife as I spent two years in Thailand and 1 year in Africa and while there I took up photographing Big Game (tigers, lions etc) then did a stint as a weekend wedding photographer for about seven years as it paid more then than my weekday job, then into macro, landscape and finally working with models on a commercial basis and for stock images. Also regularly use to shoot at the various Fetish events that were held in London some years ago.

Commercial shoots are for my use within my group of companies and the current budget is about the price of a new small car for the current year. I tend to repeat book certain models, and that can mean up to 20 shoots in a 12 month period.

I tend to shoot about 5 or 6 times a month and try to shoot with a model that I have not shot with before about 2 or 3 times a month. In addition to the 5 shoots that I do for "stock" I also complete 2 commercial shoots a month and these will begin again in October.

I.D is required for ALL shoots and I do not photograph under 18's. A model release form is required for all shoots (a copy will be sent to the model if requested prior to the shoot) - no signed model release form = no payment. The model release form is required as I do own various business with web-sites and I do use images to promote and advertise within my group and to clients. I will not pay extra for the model release form to be signed.
