This is a new website for a new year and a new direction and these pages are likely to be updated regularly throughout the year.
I am a fashion and beauty photographer based in Kingston upon Thames and although my fashion photography portfolio is not very large at the minute, I am a firm believer of quality over quantity, so the images you will find in my portfolio are, I believe, a true reflection of my passion for beauty and fashion photography and show a focused attention to detail, an excellent knowledge and practice of high quality lighting and a high level of knowledge and execution of post processing and retouching techniques that are used extensively in the fashion photography industry.
For me, being a fashion photographer is about knowing your craft inside and out having built your knowledge on an expert grasp of the fundamentals, having the passion and dedication to keep on going until you have the fashion photograph that meets precisely your exacting standards and having the knowledge and skill to process that photograph non destructively to enhance it only where it needs it. It's about being an integral member of a team and motivating people to achieve their best and about being in love with what you do. Without all this in place, how can you be expected to create your best work time after time? In short, it's about consistency, exacting standards, high quality output, passion, knowledge and experience, and always working towards a mutual goal.
If you want to book me for a fashion photography or beauty photography shoot in Kingston upon Thames, London or anywhere else, you can do this either by telephone, email, Facebook, my blog or through the Model Mayhem website. All contact details are on the 'Contact' page.
