[b] I will be travelling once every three months the the United States, usually to New York City, but also Memphis, and Nashville. Please contact me if you would like to set up a shoot in these cities while I am in town[/b]

ABOUT SIMON HAMMOND


I know the right way to get a good shot. I have studied everything: digital photography, film photography, lighting theory, classic and modern Photoshop post-processing techniques. You name it. I have spent years reading the books, taking tutorials, mentoring, researching industry tools and following the trends. I have worked with Lifetouch Studios, Canada’s industry leader in classic portrait photography, so I know my way around a three-point lighting set-up. I have got access to traditional studio space and I have got a respectably equipped PC for post-processing. I know the “right” way to get a “good” shot. And I know the “wrong” way to get a brilliant one.

Unique and edgy shoot locations. Strange and unusual props and accessories. Collaboration with exciting new designers and make-up artists. The ethereality of natural light. The unadulterated brashness of a boldly-placed light bulb. Creative digital processing without help guides or rule books. An artist’s eye for my subject and a poet’s ear for what they’re trying to say.


I didn’t learn how to get a brilliant shot in school, or between the pages of an operating manual. The way an actor knows their character. The way a musician knows the hum of perfect harmony. The way a DJ knows the vibe on the dance floor. I know “good” photography. And I know photographic brilliance.


Images are given on DVD in high resolution
(Approximately 1-2 hours of shooting, and approximately 12-25 images of My choosing)

[i]Please note: Shots that do not turn out are NOT released. These are my terms, if you are not comfortable with them, then I suggest you find another person who has a practice more in line with what you are looking for. [/i]




Models are welcome to bring any escort they please, I only ask that they be a person who will not distract from, or inhibit our work.

[b]Sorry, but I do NOT shoot TF. Also, out of respect and love for my Beautiful Wife, I do not shoot nude.[/b]
