Hello Everyone,
I am John and I am lifestyle photographer. I have more than 10 years of experience as photographer and I specialise in photographing women.
My style
When I photograph, I want to capture something more than a model in a pose. I like to photograph people in their daily lives. I like to show them as they are, in the daily moments which are so important.
So, I have a style. I photograph in black and white and I like to shoot in real life environment, most often my models' place. I have shot in large houses as well as in dark and small rooms. Every place has its own flavour. I give priority to models who are comfortable being photographed in their own environments!
What do I stand for?
Do you want to know what I stand for?
YOU-ARE-BEAUTIFUL. For who you are, for how you look. You don't need to lose one stone or a pound. You don't need to be taller, blonder, shorter or any shit like this. If you start loving yourself and your perfect body today, you will live a better life.
We are pressurised to be someone we are not. F**k that! Stop trying to be someone you are not. Stop trying to show a different version of you. Be authentic, be real, be imperfect : the more you embrace yourself, the happier your life will be!
Retouch
One important element of my style is that I don't retouch my photos. I correct the tones and the contrast, and I make sure that my photos (and their subjects) look good. Yet, I don't use Photoshop. I won't remove a crease, make you slimmer, taller or anything similar. It's the way I like to show the world, in a RAW way.
As for my style, I appreciate this is not everyone's cup of tea, and I respect that.
Do you want to work together?
I have a photo studio, and I am happy of how it is moving on. The reason I am here is because I am passionate about what I do. Photographing people is cathartic for me; getting to know the soul in front of my lens gives me time to slow down my life and do what I enjoy the most! So, if you want to work together, give me a shout, I don't byte.
I am a good photographer and I deliver under any circumstance, so please don't be offended if I don't offer you full rates. I work a lot on collaboration, and I am not worried if you are new or experienced, plus size or skinny, old or young.
Image usage
- If you pay my rates, you can decide to keep you images private
- If we collaborate, we can both use the images non-commercially
- If I pay you, please don't expect images
You can pick the story you like.
