Information about My Photography
|
This online gallery contains a selection of the photographs I have taken since I was given my first proper camera as an 18th birthday present by my parents. My main photographic interests are landscapes, including architecture, and women, including portraits, clothed photographs, nudes and erotica. In both cases, my approach is to find people or things that I think are beautiful, and portray them in a (hopefully) interesting way. The women in my photographs range from amateurs who have never posed before and just want to try it out, through to full-time professionals with a lot of experience. The earliest models were either people I knew, friends or girlfriends, or people I just asked in the street or wherever I saw them. I still ask people like this if I think they would make a great model. The reaction is usually favourable, though not everyone I ask ends up in front of my camera. The excitement of coaxing an inexperienced model into expressing herself is tempered by the frustrating times when someone you think you make a great model decides not to pose, or her boyfriend doesn't let her or something like that. My more recent photography has used many models that contact me through my website or that I find on the internet. I still prefer to work with new models who aren't too set in their ways, unless it is for a specific project that calls for experience. My ideal is a beautiful, fresh, artistically-inclined, intelligent model who is prepared to experiment to get great pictures. To answer a question I am often asked, no, I don't usually photograph men. The only male nudes I have done are together with a female, in some cases with the male being myself. I have photographed a male/female couple (where the male is not me) once and although I found the experience rather nerve-wracking it is something I would like to pursue further with the right people. I have never photographed a lone male, although I am not ruling it out. The landscapes are from a variety of places, often in Britain, but increasingly reflecting my travels to the US and other places. I like wild places and old and new architecture especially. My ambition is to portray the wildness of the uncultivated British countryside, but I haven't achieved that yet. I come from near Dartmoor, where The Hound of the Baskervilles was set, and one day I want to get that feeling across in my photographs. I would be interested in peoples' comments, so please email me if you have anything to say - people often email me with interesting, flattering and often provocative comments. I am also interested in selling fine art prints to people out there, so get in touch. Some of my photographs have been exhibited, and I would like to thank the people concerned. I would also like to thank: my models, without whom very little would have been possible (you're all wonderful); buyers of my photographs and members of my gallery, who are doing a great job helping to support my work; and my friends, family and internet acquaintances for providing (mostly) constructive criticism. If anyone is interested in modelling for me, then get in touch. I'm definitely always looking for new and interesting people to photograph. Rates are always negotiable, and I am quite happy to provide portfolio prints. All the images are © Sensual Images Photography, 1988-2008.
