David Sharples

My main interests are portrait and fashion photography,I have a home studio setup that I use for my work,weather permitting I venture outside now and again for location work.

Photography is my "second job" my main scource of income is from my Hypnotherapy practice which I set up shortly after qualifying in February 2009,both careers involve working with people,and helping them to feel good about themselves,so the two careers aren't really too diverse.

I have had a camera since the early 1980's,and my main interest then was aviation photography,I went quiet for a while,but when I noticed that digital camera technology was advancing in leaps and bounds,I returned to photography once more,but this time on a much bigger scale,I bought a full set of studio equipment - lighting,stands,backgrounds etc.

I'm triple jabbed and test myself weekly - I had covid in July 2021 - even after being double jabbed,but thankfully it wasn't serious - apart from being stuck inside for 10 days and not being able to smell or taste my food for around 6 weeks.
