You can speed up and slow down each slideshow using the control at bottom left.	Welcome If you cant find what you are looking for below - I'm sure we can work together to achieve it.
	Location Portfolio I begin with my favourite kind of shoot. The location, conditions, people's moods and expressions are forever changing. You can get so much done in a half day shoot - and it's all different. It's a great way to begin your portfolio because of the range of material we can get done. (I shy away from studio portfolios as everything looks like it has been done on the same day - not showing your full range). We can work anywhere you like (as long as it's legal). How it works You will need - plenty of changes of clothes, foot and head wear, your make-up etc. It's wise to bring an assistant with you to fetch, hold and carry stuff. (One person is enough - more can end up very distracting and spoil the eye-line in some of your shots). Don't be afraid - you may end up getting changed in the back seat of a car or a public toilet - Sounds a bit horrific but it does all add to the fun! Bring an umberella! At times, passers by will think you are famous - we let them carry on thinking that so be prepared to sign autographs! Don't wear fake tan - I can give you an all-over tan with one mouse click on the computer and it will take 2 seconds. If I need to take out finger marks and colour missed bits they take about 2 minutes each and I cannot guarantee the results - I will charge you extra for this time! What it costs A standing charge of £50 as long as you don't need me to travel too many miles. This fee is payable in advance, as your deposit and will not be refunded for cancellation. (We will still however be able to re-arrange a mutual re-shoot time and date if we need to change the plans due to bad weather etc for no additional charge). Plus £15 for each completed shot that you choose, supplied on disc, full sized, un-watermarked and free of copyright. I can also do you an additional MySpace set for £10 (or free if I can watermark them with my website address)
	Corporate, News, Advertising & Website You know what you want Let's work together to achieve it What it costs This is so individual but work on £200 for an evening (or half day), subject to travelling, accommodation etc All images (excluding blinks, blurs & blacks) will be supplied on disc - free of watermark and copyright. I will include all digital amendment and re-touching subject to your requirements (within reason but for major 'works of art' use the day rate above as a rough guide).
	Family Portrait Capture those key moments as the family grows and changes. We can do this in a studio or in your own home with a portable mini studio subject to you having a reasonably sized room. (A knock-through lounge/dining room is only just long enough to get full length shots but for head and shoulders we don't need much space at all). Digital imaging means your finished pictures can be a combination of colour and black & white - decide when you see them. How it works You will need - changes of clothes, your make-up etc, some space (Don't clear out all the furniture - I can always stand behind and shoot over the top of the sofa etc) I will bring portable flash heads and a plain backdrop to shoot against. - For small children I have an antique wooden & leather high chair and a matching mini school chair. They make fabulous props. Email to see a picture. What it costs A standing charge of £50 as long as you don't need me to travel too many miles. This fee is payable in advance, as your deposit and will not be refunded for cancellation.. Plus £15 for each completed shot that you choose, supplied on disc, full sized, un-watermarked and free of copyright. I can also do you an additional MySpace set for £10 (or free if I can watermark them with my website address) To hire a studio - near to you will cost up to £50 per hour. I would suggest we need 2 hours but this depends on the number of finished shots you would like.
	Studio Portfolio Not my favourite way to show you off but sometimes a necessary evil for a particular job Studio hire is expensive, we rush and it can be difficult to relax unless you have a bottomless pit of money. Have I put you off yet? It can be great though - the benefit of additional space, warmth, additional quality equipment and regularly used - themed props can make it a worthwhile experience. Imagine relaxing on the chaise-longue in an evocative studio set.... If you are portfolio building, everybody should have at least one studio session. How it works You will need - plenty of changes of clothes, foot and headwear, your make-up, hair straighteners etc. A dressing gown. It's wise to bring an assistant with you to fetch, hold and carry stuff. (One person is enough - more can end up very distracting and spoil the eye-line in some of your shots).

	Live Events Much of my time is spent covering live events with lots of my work ending up in newspapers and magazines - Max Power, Redline, Nuts, Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Daily & Sunday Sport, The Sunday Mirror and have shot models and celebs such as Sophie Howard, Rebecca Loos, Ben Adams (A1/CBB), Bez (Happy Mondays/CBB), Verne troyer (Mini me/CBB) & Lemar to name but a few. What it costs This is so individual but work on £200 for an evening (or half day), subject to travelling, accommodation etc All images (excluding blinks, blurs & blacks) will be supplied on disc - free of watermark and copyright. I will include some digital amendment and re-touching where required. NB. Your wedding is a live event but please don't ask me to shoot it.
