" Photography is a way of personalizing the world in which we live and of giving it a perspective with which we can identify. The same is true of the people that we photograph. My favourite subject is "the girl next door". A large number of these I have asked to pose for me after a brief encounter in a café or elsewhere, other times after meeting more formally through friends. I have also photographed some models starting out in their career, helping them to build up their book, and have met with more established professionals Until recently, these remained a small percentage of my models - this was written over ten years ago, as of 2017 I am getting older and lazier. In all these cases nevertheless, I strive to record something personal and revealing of their character and I follow them around with my camera for that purpose. ................................. EQUIPMENT: I have a couple of digital NIKONs with zoom lens and a flash attached. I do not use other equipment. ........... N.B. In no circumstance will I ever post a photo of an under-aged subject definition under 18 in unsuitable state of dress. Messages posted and sent to me privately in this respect are a waste of everyone's time, in particular mine. Please cease to fantasize in this respect. Furthermore, models deplore some people having the bad manners to talk about their weight which has nothing to do with the quality of a photograph. LASTLY: Some people like to reflect on the attention given to nude photos of beautiful women on Photo Net. I made an interesting discovery recently. If one looks under portfolios at the ALL TIME .. MOST VIEWED FOLDERS .. my most viewed folder by a huge margin is the one on PORTRAITS ... hmm, now how will they answer that ..... : - People sometimes ask me what I do. I was a post-doctoral research fellow and university lecturer in the cardiovascular field for several years before I moved to Industry - quantum mechanics, astrophysics and photography are my hobbies.
