Bullets

I'm a studioless Hobby Photographer from Limerick Ireland, 
Note: I cant offer work to touring models myself. 
All the photos in my portfolio has been done with collaboration with another photographer @paulsphotosie on occasions where he invites me to Local shoots that he organizes and we will sometimes share costs for days or weekends where models don't mind working with 2 photographers.

I lack my own studio space to shoot, and I also don't drive, and cannot host models, and look after a young daughter with autism as soon as I get back from work most days which limits my options for hiring touring models.   I'm not very useful for a touring model! however when I do get to shoot between myself and Paul we can offer a variety of styles of shots as we like different things so models with always get pleasing images that I hope have been processed in a tasteful manner.

I'm an eyes type of photographer so I am always liking photos where the model is able to connect with the camera so I like as much eye contact as possible during a shoot.  This is more important to me than Props/Wardrobe/Style of shots. Some Models tend to chase the light by looking towards the Key light or looking off into the distance with a stare into noplace lost in thought or perplexed or trying to convey some artificial emotion !  I dont get this!  I much prefer when models are looking at the camera. I think this works better for anyone that might view the image where it feels like the subject is making a human connection with the viewer.

Dislikes:
Not a fan of Wigs, Cosplay,  Fake Tan, I've no interest in bodybuilder type's of images or anything gym related.  I have no interest in remote shooting. I really don't like cheap nasty materials that come across awful in photos,  nasty stuff that,  your el-cheapo wrinkly polyster like crap.

There is a particular facial expression that some models do sometimes on cheap tacky page3/readers wives /softcore porn type shots where the model tries to make a sexy alluring face by parting their mouth and bearing their bottom teeth.  It looks terrible and keeps reminding me of an  aggressive shih tzu. 

Likes:

I like simple setups, simple lighting(usually 1 light setups) , and prefer clothing over costume. (clothing being actual clothes you might wear in the real world, Costume being something you would never wear normally wear out and about in the real world).    
I like clothing to look well in photos but not be a distraction from the person, so things like wools, cottons high quality materials, things that dont have complicated patterns I love.

My inspiration would be Australian Photographer Peter Coulson who's work I absolutely adore and I would like to have a style similar to his. I would love to work with more models that suit his style of images.

I like a particular face type that is hard to describe a lot of the models I like the look of tend to be Russian or Ukrainian for some reason with an Icy blue or Green eyes.

I've some ideas of shots I would love to achieve up on Pinterest:
