I’m having a bit of a break from photography.
I may be back….I’ll leave this site here just in case
Whether you want something creative or more formal I can produce an image which will look spectacular hanging on your wall.
I am usually at the studio by appointment only Mondays through to Thursdays but am quite flexible on starting times – 11am through to 8pm.
Things I’d need to ask you about before the shoot:-
I really enjoy portrait and fashion photography.
Many photographers have influenced me and have obviously rubbed off on me but I feel as though I’m finally developing my own style.
If you like what you see please contact me and lets discuss a studio sitting.
I attended Doug’s workshop “An Introduction to Studio Day.” Having never met him before he immediately made me feel welcome and was an exceptional host throughout the day.
Sometimes you meet creative people who have an ego, who are pretentious, and who are selfishly ambitious and guarded of their knowledge, luckily Doug is the exact opposite of these traits, as he went the extra mile to help us understand his workflow, photographic and lighting techniques. It was a long (and warm and humid) day and he worked damned hard throughout the day to achieve as much as possible of all our time together as a group, making sure we had everything, and also provided drinks and snacks as well!
On a personal note, I probably learned more on this day, than watching 2 months worth of video tutorials online, not just the technical side, but how to work with others in the right manner..working hard, being respectful, but also having a fun, relaxed good time along the way to produce great images
It was a privilege to spend the day with some great, skilled people, ( fellow photographers , models, and MUAs), it was also good to see talented professionals “do their thing” and has been a great inspiration to me who is just starting out in photography to what can be accomplished with great teamwork.
I am really glad I attended, and hope to spend more time with Doug at some point down the line in any future events he puts on.
Great Photographer, Great Teacher, Great Personality, you only have to look at Dougie’s portfolio to know how good he is, his attention to detail and lighting skills shine through every image.
I popped over to his studio workshop the other day that he runs in conjunction with MUA Sophie Battersby and found him to be a very knowledgable teacher with a laid back style that allows him to pass on his techniques and style in a very easy to understand way
So if you are a beginner in studio photography or just want to improve your portfolio then get yourself onto his next portfolio building workshop you will not be disappointed.
He will even spend time at the end of the day showing you how he achieves the distinctive look you see in his photographs using various photoshop techniques
If you are a model reading this and want something special for your portfolio then take advantage of his generosity and book him now
I always love going to work with Doug. It was my third trip over this year! I don’t often make a lot of money from these sessions BUT I go for the creativity and imagination allowed here. Always relaxed and fun, resulting in sensational beauty shots. Doug’s got endless contacts and events happening and I’m always keeping my eye out for what he’s got going on, no fuss & no messing about love it can’t wait to go back.
