Hello. I'm here by recommendation from another member, and would like to find models to build my portfolio and for an exchange of time, talent and knowledge. I'm experienced in many years of photography especially in the film era, and a life-long learner, I'm currently studying Digital Media at TAFE & would like to find models who in exchange for modelling 2-3 hours will get a beautiful set of photographs in exchange so I can try out different lighting (usually flash in a well-equipped studio) and to show you (the model) at your best, at present I have been given a collection of top designer (an international brand) clothes which you can wear. I really want to create fantastic photography that reaches across art, fashion, the senses, I want to inspire and be inspired. I would love to be involved in this site until I feel I have achieved the best possible portfolio I can. At the moment I'm working on a series inspired by mythology in my Redfern based studio with soft flattering lighting, to create an ethereal effect. I'm working towards an exhibition and a book which hopefully you would like to be a part of.
