I am a returner to photography and art having been semi professional photographer during the 1980s (wedding, small commercial and taught photography). I am a qualified illustrator. I have a small studio with an increasing amount of lighting kit, digital cameras and lenses and a growing prop box (I love gadgets).

I love photographing people and whilst photography is my work (part of it anyway) I am also keen to work with enthusiastic models, stylists and make up artists to explore figurative art and photography and possibly develop new styles as well has hone my photography skills particularly: editorial, fashion and glamour work.

Being of a certain age myself I am particularly interested in collaborating with (and possibly more sympathetic to) models of a similar maturity:)

For personal projects (mine and fellow MMs) I am looking to collaborate on an exchange basis (TFP/CD) and particularly keen to help aspiring professionals in any way that I can.

Of course for commercial work I expect to pay models, MAU and other professionals (including the creation of artworks for sale). I prefer to work with those that I know I get on with. And of course the way I can evaluate that is if we have done successful TF projects together (its not a ploy it stands to reason).

I do travel within reason. And I am more than happy to 'host' genuine visitors to the region who are looking to do location work (West Wales is a landscape worth exploring [note to self]) and/or who wish to use my small studio.

I review many other folios on a regular basis for inspiration or reference and will comment on images that I really like. I generally don't exchange comments for the sake of it. I welcome comments and will always endeavour to tag or comment back. And yes I have a couple of lists for those photographs that either I wish I had taken myself or for reference.
