I have been taking photos from the age of 16 when I was using a Asahi Pentax ME taking photos for the school paper.
Equipment 5D Mark II
70 – 200mm
16 – 35mm
100 – 300mm
I specialise in Noir style portraits, Outdoor modelling shoots, both male and female.
I believe in preparation with my shoots, if a shot in a particular location was going to take longer than 30 minutes then i have not done my job properly, this enables the model to feel comfortable and you can get a more natural shot.
95% of my shots are edited in lightroom 2.4 using contrast and tone techniques basically straight from the camera, the other 5% I use CS3, you will know the shots that I modify.
Favourite camera sayings
- A great photo will speak through silence
- Camera a mirror with memory
