Only after an accident,where I broke my spine ( minor damage) and retired,did I take it up again.
I am quite diverse in my photography.
Genre are mainly Street and portraiture . The later broken into fashion ,portraiture and fine art nude.
In the studio :
Most of my work is done using a Large Gridded Beauty dish, usually with another large grid as fill /back light. . I also use a very low soft box, and make a lot of use of Flags and reflectors. The light I favor is available light from an 8 wide window in my studio. Well I do hope that covers most about me.
