About Me

Hello everyone,

Name is Henry, I rarely use this anymore. I will be moving to Brisbane Australia in January 2023.

When I send out Requests here, means I would like to collaborate and refine/refresh my skills in portraiture and work with other talents to create amazing images.

I specialise in portrait and modeling style images, Experienced in both Studio and outdoor location settings. Do let me know if you are interested in building up a portfolio


_________________________________________________________________

Here is my take on TFP and Paid shoots
Personally, I have no dramas paying a model for their services.. So long as its priced accordingly. I'm happy to pay like $100 a session if the model is worth that amount. Sadly I go through some of the models I have seen here, they write in their description that they wish to be paid, yet, their quality or (Choice of) images displayed on their profile really doesn't reflect what they are asking for.

Being a photographer, If I go through a supposedly, experienced model, I want to see a series of images that display your strengths (which is also your brand) of look. I want to see a variety of expressions that complements the image.

I want a model who can pull of a smile, pull of sexy, sensual appeal, or cute look (all these are really hard). What I don't want to see the same expression in all the images. For goodness sake, if you're going to put a nude picture up, please forbid yourself from putting a selfie style image that is only going to get approved on Tinder sad  Nude photography is very difficult to pull off, you need to be a talented artist as well as the correct figure.

I like honesty in a person, If you're inexperienced, then so be it,  Just because you've been doing something for a while, doesn't necessarily mean you are good at it, you need to product to reflect your profile description.

Another thing to note on paid shoots, Paid shoots does not mean I am obliged to give you any of my images. The compensation you asked for is the money and that is all you will get. You do not have the rights to use the images from the shoot to any of your benefits.

I know that sounds really harsh in writing but really its just common sense. ** think of it this way, when you go out to eat at a restaurant, you pay, to sit down and enjoy the meal/experience and then you leave. It is NOT when you finish, the manager, expects you to do them a favour in return .. Ie Wash your own dishes."

on the other HAND
TFP = Time for Print or nowadays more so, TIME FOR FACEBOOK ie tongue

This is a mutual give and take, the photographer exchanges images and the model exchanges their services by supporting the photographer by posing in the photographs. I think this is great, its like a try before you buy, Session should be fun, short, and not too demanding from both parties. Its like a sample of skills.

Ideally, unless you are truly professional and have a portfolio that is marketable, this should be the first port of contact.

What do I want from here:
I just want to have "fun" photographing people and not pay anything. (I'm being honest)

Call me arrogant, but I don't think I really need to update my profile, the images I create are Great! I know how to get sharp images, I know how to work with lighting, I know how to blur the background to emphasize depth in the image, I know how to direct and communicate with models.

Contact me if you wish for further information or if you would like to book at photo shoot with me.
