Fashion and Model photographer for Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire and the Midlands. Fashion shows, hair styling, clothing line catalogue, model style photo sessions
Hair Salon styling day
Location model photography
Location photography can place you and your clothing into contexts suited for your clients.
I am well equipped to meet the needs of location photography fashion shoots as well as in the studio. Sometimes the weather doesn’t ‘play ball’, particularly at over 3000′ on the top of Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa.
Hair styling photography – Show off your creations to a wider audience.
If you have enough space I can convert part of your salon into a studio meaning that you have your styling tools available in your environment.
Catwalk photography
On the catwalk, I can strut my stuff on the catwalk.
Yeah, right said Fred
Fashion ad catwalk shows covered including backstage preparation if required.
Pre-show publicity, hair and make-up preparation and on the runway.
Classic Hollywood style lighting – Authentic lighting and styles designed to suit you and your look.
Using Fresnel lensed continuous lighting, just as in the days of those classic Hollywood monochrome images from times gone by. Add that classic look to your portfolio.
Vintage style photo sessions with a photographic quality to match your style. Bright and colourful or atmospheric monochrome. As well as flash I also have some continuous lighting that creates the type of shadow transition that is so typical of classic Hollywood glamorous photographs. Standard flash units cannot produce this type of light.
Modern Vintage photography – Make your vintage styling pop
Model style photography – These sessions are edgier and more varied than my standard ‘portrait sessions’. The lighting and posing style differs from the family portrait session.
I do not do ‘portfolio days’ where photographers make out that they will produce a set of photographs which will result in any agency that sees them signing you. That is misleading sales talk. Agencies, proper agencies, work in a different way to that. What I will do is provide you with images that will meet ‘agency standards’, images that you will be proud to show to other people.
Model agencies
Beware when someone promises to produce a portfolio of images that will make an agency be unable to not sign you. Real agencies do not work that way. They look at you, how you move and hold yourself, your height etc and, if they like what they see, they will send you to photographers on their lists for test shoots to create a portfolio for you. If an ‘agency’ is asking you for money up front advise them to check the legislation with regard to model agencies since no model agency can charge upfront fees, that is the law
