Welcome to Portfolios4U. I was for over 30 years in the sales side graphic arts trade which in involved a little photography, I had to take a early retirement to look after my very sick wife and a few years ago I was taken ill and spent some time in hospital, this left me disabled so in order not to become a cabbage I started doing portfolio , I will no longer take on p.f.t. its not worth the hassle and will only work with models who want paid work. Although my main intrast is fancy dress , I would rather work with models who will model up to nude, for years I used film but recently I changed over to digital, the main reason for this change was cost and this meant I could afford to increase my fancy dress costumes which at the present moment I own 230 costumes . I am based in Abergele in lovely North Wales which is easy to get to by road and by train. If you come by train I would pick you up & take you back to the station after the shoot. If you have a distance to travail I will assist with any reasonable travelling expenses.

I have full studio lighting backdrops and props which include a number of fancy dress costumes plus the small items that add to the image.

. Been only a few hundred yards from the beach it makes it ideal for swimwear/ holiday wear (weather permitting).Well I don't say I am the best photographer on this site , I will say I know how to treat a model, its not unknown if a model has some distance to travel by train I make up a goody box for the model to consume going back on the train . I expect the model to put maximum effort into a shoot so in return I always try and make the model feel happy and at ease, I have a saying a happy model is a good model" I think you will agree this makes good sense. Look forward to hearing from you.
At this moment I am cutting down on my shoots my dear wife pasted away and after over 40 happy years I really miss her more than ever
