Greetings! My name is Maurice, and I'm a very experienced professional photographer, with a passion for making your session fun and memorable. While I love being a photographer, I've been on BOTH sides of the camera. I'm the founder of the meetup group "Shut Up And Shoot Raw," where I offer instruction on lighting, posing, and post production. Why the name Kickmaster? After decades of dedicated practice, I've earned the rank of "Grandmaster" in the martial art of Taekwondo.

[i][u][b]Please note that no-shows will not be rescheduled, nor will last minute cancellations under any circumstances (other than an emergency). If you feel that you will not make the shoot, you are to give me a 48-hour notice. If your notice is not given, please contact a more flexible photographer that doesn't value his/her time.[/i][/u][/b]

If I send you a friend request, the purpose is for us to become acquainted in terms of our collective skills. Give both of us some credit by not assuming that this is a place for non professional nonsense. I'm not looking to date, mate, etc.. For those of you who only do paid shoots, I will only contact you if I am willing to pay for your services. My TFP time is exclusive and very limited...

Many so-called "photographers" are just folks with cameras. In these days of digital and instant gratification, the photographic bar has been lowered to the point where most people are satisfied with "almost good enough." I seriously invest in my talent, and my equipment in order to remain among the top headshot/fashion photographers.
And, unlike most photographers who use a beautiful lady as their avatar photo, I use my own photo! You see upfront who I am, then and I let my work speak for itself. I am comfortable on either side of the camera.....model or photographer.

I'd love to take part in your portfolio, or just a fun shoot! I'm equally comfortable in the studio, or outdoors. Proper lighting and posing is EVERYTHING! One of my favorite things to do is flattering head shots. Recently got compliments from the good folks at "Diva" for my use of their 18" ring light in my head shot photo shoots. They requested the use of some of my images!

Hey, I'm interested to come to America in future but at the moment while traveling is still difficult, I am offering remote shoots afternoons on Wednesdays or Mondays Melbourne time until March 8th. I'm currently working with another photographer to do these shoots but I hope in future to get my own gear and do more on location remote shoots. I have a CBD apartment with a rooftop balcony, large natural light windows, a range of backdrops, props & can use the buildings facilities of a gym, spa, pool & sauna. My rates for remote shoots would be less than what I charge for in person shoots. Let me know how many hours you would like me to quote you for and if you like to pay by PayPal or a bank transfer to my UK bank or AUS bank. We would tether the camera to the laptop and screen share so you can control the settings/shots & we could chat over FaceTime or WhatsApp during the shoot. The gear we have is a Sony full frame camera with a range of lenses available; 50mmf1.8, 85mmf1.4gm, 17-28f2.8, 28-75f2.8, 105f1.4gm, 70-200f2.8gm
Would love to know what style you would like to shoot & when. Hope to hear from you soon! All the best, kind regards.
