For those of you that have spent the time to come to visit my portfolio I thank you. View my blog on http://cstgpa.wordpress.com/ I’ve had a passion for photography since I was 7 and was given my first Brownie Box Camera, I still have it today. I had a studio in London in the eighties and early nineties, specializing in fashion, editorial, commercial and portraiture. After a break in the commercial world, I have returned as a professional photographer. I am experienced at working with studio lighting both inside and on location, and enjoy shooting with natural light. I use Nikon and Bowens and work strictly in digital. I’ve logged over 6,000 hours on Adobe Photoshop and I’m now using Adobe CS5 as my digital darkroom. I have started a journal/blog which I ask you to visit on http://cstgpa.wordpress.com/. It contains tips and tutorials and some idea of how I produce my images.I will be posting more tips and tutorials in my journal on a regular basis and hope that they will help and amuse you. Follow the link under each image in my portfolio. There are even a few tips for models which might be of use. I will not shoot nude or topless unless I am being paid for the shoot. Photography is my main source of income As a fashion, beauty, editorial and portrait photographer I can provide portfolio shoots for aspiring models. A portfolio starter designed to your requirements is a half days shooting with a minimum of 3 sets. Studio or location work can be accomplished. I am experienced in working with new models and would expect to produce around 40 edited images and an A4 print from each set shot. Additional prints are £10 per print. I provide this service to both genders but if female I will provide a make-up artist who also will do hair. Photographer fee £125 and make-up artist is £80 plus £20 travel. I offer TFP on occasion for my ongoing projects which are as follows: 1. Commercial/Lifestyle - primarily location so after March ends. Looking to build my stock photo library. 2. Vargas style pin-up calendar. Need to complete by July. 3. High Fashion Beauty shots for my portfolio and exhibition. 4. Saucy Seaside postcard, circa 1960/70 (you can google and see examples) 5. Naughty Postcards - circa 1900, again googling will find examples 6. High Fashion - always looking for new fashion designers and now have the first shoot under my belt at Studland, see my blog for the results. If you want to be involved just ask So that's me, I am around in the forums once in a while and hopefully you will come to know me as one of the good guys.
