Welcome to my profile.

I seem to get referred to now as G.P.L or GlossyPinkLipstick which is my pseudonym, my weekend alter ego! used to protect me from some of my work colleagues who seem to get all high and mighty if they realize I shoot tits and bits. It is easier and less tiresome to remain anonymous than to justify my art to the Mary Whitehouse brigade. Generally, I don't mention what I do at all.

I am a dedicated and accomplished amateur using professional equipment, I Live in Harlow, Essex -. I am well prepared and I travel most of the time all over the Southeast, East Anglia, and Midlands for shoots. Please note that I don't use studios I spend money on fuel instead.

Into collaboration shoots (Time For Pictures TFP) working with models as a team to deliver great imagery so happy to discuss any ideas you may have.

I use the template features in PP because that is what they were designed for and is accurate and saves time. Highly organized and life is too short to mess about). If your only concern is that the message is impersonal then that's fine, thanks for reading. I use quick and clear communication as shooting time is precious. I am now looking to diversify and do beauty & fashion and high-speed sync photography so if you can get past the nudity I have done previously that's fab and If I contact you. Shoot to your listed levels and I would love to shoot what you want if you have ideas it makes a change for me not to have to come up with something with is fresh air so actually I welcome it. I do it all for free -you do it all for free-Simple and uncomplicated and I travel to you always as a rule. I have lighting for any type of shoot in or out with me if agreed in advance.

MY NUTSHELL:

https://purpleport.com/blog/2022/09/20/post-how-to-arrange-a-successful-and-stress-free-trade-tfp-shoot/149

I mainly shoot for trade.

I can only shoot on weekends unless I'm on holiday.

I will travel to you

10 or more fully edited images (Per Shooting Hour Ball Park) within a week.

This is not my real job.

Indoors at your place or outside and if so you need to find the location outdoors.

Shoot to your levels and up to full frontal if you do it.

My Purpleport Diary is accurate.

New Models:

I have guided and mentored many new models if this is new to you, Just a note. PP has an algorithm (software thingy working in the background), that stops models from getting bombarded with emails in the first two weeks in my opinion, this does you a disservice.

Add me to your WWL and I can then message you within two weeks.

If you add me to a list I can message you earlier.

MY ETHOS:

Direct and honest approach and I try to be inspirational, influential, and nurturing to both models and photographers. I try to inspire anyone I work with to be the best that they can be regardless of what they look like or their level of experience. Everyone has great images inside them somewhere and my job is to find them."A flower does not compare itself to another flower- it simply blooms"

I try and be the best I can be . My ethos is reflected in my references so please feel free to contact any model directly. I like humor and sarcasm! not your thing then I am probably not for you! Looking to develop better images than the last time I shot and generate quality and improvement in everything I do.

CHAPERONES:

If you need to have someone come along to a shoot as comfort, then good! I have lots of stuff and they can help carry my crap. Maybe that's "modern slavery" but I'll risk it!

ADDING ME TO YOUR WORK- WITH LIST:

Note if you add me to a work-with list and you truly want to shoot with me I will make it happen. Adding me with no contact otherwise is futile.

PAY, FEES & REFERENCES:

I am in it for the art and this is a journey and challenge, I am passionate about what I do, You won't find anyone more committed to a shoot once booked.

Can I enhance your "brand" ? if you work for a collaboration and do you like my imagery?

I don't take the money and I only pay models when I cast for a workshop. Sending me your rates or lobbing in "I only work for rates at that level" wastes your time and mine. My profession prevents me from getting involved in any ambiguity around a second job so if money is not involved then that becomes irrelevant. I only pay when I do lighting workshops with models who are engaging already. I keep my TF agreements as it's my reputation. I won't let you leave a reference for me until the deal is done and you have your images.

I won't ask for a reference till the deal is done either. That's fair and reasonable. If I cast for a paid shoot I will always check to see if you responded or turned me down for any previous contact I might have made and only consider those that have engaged in conversation politely even if you turned me down before.

THIS YEAR'S THINGS TO SHOOT LIST

I have high-quality and high battery-powered flash and only need locations. I also have a continuous light for shallow depth of field (Fuzzy Backgrounds) and beauty shoots indoors. Crowns of flowers that I have made myself. I have 4 wedding dresses sizes 8/14/16

Girl in a field on a Dior stool.

Girl in a wheelie bin.

Low-angle fashion,

Fill-flash and Scatterflash in the style of Damien Lovegrove.

Dancing or Ballet, etc. with motion captured.

Urbex and abandoned fill-flash pool of light.

Dreadlocked model, naturally hairy in all depts.

MODEL TYPES:

My folio is not full of "conventional models" A model is someone that another person aspires to be like. That has no boundaries, Therefore size 6 and age 18 are not in the model job description for me! I have no issues or hang-ups with age, size, shape, or body image. I like to empower women to be natural and be role models and enable them to shoot great images for all so If you think your bits stick out don't dangle too much, or plain need adjusting, then I will use Photoshop a little. if you think your boobs sag Im good as long as you don't have to lift your skirt up to flash them! ( I have a sense of humor as well).

CANCELLATIONS:

I'm not sensitive or a diva so if you wish to cancel, SAY SO! If you changed your mind no drama and I much prefer the truth. I have heard too many "Grandparents in hospital" stories in my shooting lifetime.

TRAVEL:

Reasons I won't travel:

I always confirm on the morning of the shoot so If I don't hear from you on the day of the shoot directly on my phone by any contact method I will consider that for some reason the photoshoot won't be going ahead and won't travel. Bad Weather or train issues mainly. I am robust and generally communicate with you in that detail and I am unlikely to need to cancel.

FOLLOW-UP MESSAGE:

I will send you an extensive templated message with all the information that you may not have gotten from my bio including what levels mean to me and all my ways of working.

IMAGE DELIVERY & USAGE

I deliver images within a week, sometimes two, depending on my real life. I'm chilled generally. You can do what you want with them within reason. I will supply at least 10 normally more fully edited images from any shoot. I generally let a model post first as I prefer you to get the exposure first .

Thanks for reading.

Regards Paul
