Who Am I and What Do I Do?

Essentially, I am a fine-art portrait photographer - someone who can portray you in the way YOU want to be portrayed to target YOUR CLIENTS or YOUR personal interests. That's actually my passion in photography and where my strengths lie - that’s the artistic side of the game.

I have been a photographer for over thirty years and have established a comfortable place within the industry, having made many great friends along the way. I am personable, skilled and will go the extra distance to create something special with you - the important word here is with - not for. I work in a highly collaborative way where most of my shoots have been tailored to the particular needs of my Client. Often my Client will have their own artistic ideas, likes, and dislikes. This is the area I've found I've been able to carve a niche - and is what many other photographers do not, or cannot, offer.

My Clients include private escorts (International and National) , escort agencies, models, family men and women, couples, and many more.

I look forward to providing you with an obligation-free quote.

I can't wait to work with him both again! Highly recommended!" - AMA
