My true love and the subject which first got my work noticed was photographing “Alternative” guys and girls. People you could meet next door or in the pub rather than on the professional catwalk. However the downside of working with “amateur” models is that cash flow and finances are usually very restricted. This limits the scope of the shoot, the travel distance, props and accessories etc that can be purchased to make the perfect shot.

To create 100 copies of this new unique book is estimated to cost approximately £3000 when you take into account printing, materials, travel, model expenses and locations. Money which unfortunately I do not have spare at the moment to invest up front.

As such I invite you to Pledge and participate in the making of this unique new book.
(Click the logo below to enter website)

Your financial pledge will help shape the look, feel and even name of the publication. By pledging you get your hands on exclusive items such as signed prints, be able to purchase the book at massively discounted prices before general release or even receive a FREE fully signed personal copy. Your name or work will be published and read by thousands of people who are on my watch-list or mailing database. (Currently around 9ooo views per day on my various websites) You may even be lucky enough to get your own photo printed in the PWA supporters section of the book!

I have designed the project so that as many people as possible will have the opportunity of getting involved. From models to photographers, from authors & poets to creative designers. Sponsorship pledges start as low as £2.50 – less than a pint or beer or packet of cigarettes, less than most magazines or bus fares! If you truly value my work, PLEASE consider sponsoring!

Once the book is available to purchase viewers/sponsors will be able to cast a free vote for individual models or photos – The model with the highest votes will receive a financial award.
The project starts NOW and is expected to run until January 2012 when printing of the book will begin.

Please join us in making this unique project – YOUR VIEWS COUNT – feel free to comment or ask questions either here, or on the PWA Unbound website.

Note that the model also receives a cut of all the profits!

I am still urgently looking for an agent and a sponsor – Somebody to promote my work and somebody to provide some inexpensive or free studio space in or around the High Wycombe area.
I only need around 600 – 700sq ft! (about 20ft x 30ft) with electricity.

Now I have an exhibition of my work on display at The Snug Gallery, Belle Vue Pub, High Wycombe, Bucks.
Article in local newspaper:

I don’t shoot many guys, but I really liked his looks and strong bone features. Hope to work with him again soon.

If you click the picture below (Courtesy of Gary Plumley – First-Studios) it will take you to a gallery of some of the shots created on the day.

If YOU are contemplating  taking part in my next workshop in Oct/Nov please send an email to register your interest… places are strictly limited to a maximum of 8 places.

Your chance to come and watch me work with two of the Alternative Industries most sought after models, Eden Falls and Sharona Vicious. (Two Bizzarre Ultra Vixens)

You will be taught my simple, low budget lighting techniques and have the opportunity to shoot the two models yourself – with my expert guidance.
…
Places are strictly limited to 10 persons – first come, first served.
Price is £85 per person

This workshop is aimed at student, amateur or semi pro photographers who want to develop their photo skills with tuition from one of the UK’s best known names – Photoswithattitude.

Note – If you were to book the two models privately for a nude shoot and a studio location you would be looking around £400 for 1/2 day!

If you are interested in reserving a place please email me at photoswithattitude@gmail.com

Full joining details etc will be supplied once payment has cleared.

I was asked if I could do a montage of “styles” at the club to show newbies – to try and encourage more people to attend!

Around 800 – 1000 people were at the last club night.

Sharona & Betty Rose agreed to come. In between band set changes I managed to fire off a few shots of the girls on their own in the 50′s diner!

Aceldama are earning quite a reputation in the Midlands and this has landed them with shows playing along side bands such as Season’s End, Liquid Sky and Power Quest.

Anyone who has seen Aceldama live will understand what their live shows are all about. With an energetic performance, prominent audience interaction and a powerful stage presence, Aceldama is an act that won’t be forgotten easily.

If you are in a band, or a music promoter looking for a photographer for gig flyers, profiles or websites give me a shout!
