Thanks for taking the time to study my profile.
I admit that I'm a bit old-fashioned. I don't shoot topless or nudes, or any of the so-called "higher levels". I prefer a more subtle, gentle "retro" look.
Consequently, many of my shoots feature retro-style swimwear, old-style corsetry and ethnic-wear as part of my predominantly retro-fitness and pin-up derived themes. In a nutshell, I try to emulate the shapes and forms that were made so perfect by vintage female style icons such as Juile Newmar, Esther Williams, Cyd Charisse, Sophia Loren and of course, the late, great Bettie Page.
I try to replicate the classic hour-glass figures of that bygone era and document how we achieve that look. To do retro-fitness properly, one really needs models who can carry themselves well and who "look the part". One also needs authentic looking costumes that hug and enhance the model's figure.
We have literally box-loads of such costumes in sizes ranging from about a UK 4 to a UK 12. We also have a good collection of vintage props - many of which actually still work.
I shoot from a small but well equipped studio in south east Hampshire. My wife normally assists me during the shoot. Having modelled for me many times herself, she is a competent stylist and knows where to find all the costumes and props. We are both fully vaccinated for COVID 19 and are happy to take lateral flow tests before a shoot.
I shoot strictly TFP, following the LitMind TFP collaboration guidelines:-

No money changes hands either way. Properly edited images are sent to the model, in the agreed format, usually within 15 working days. Models will also receive a proper written shoot-plan in advance of the shoot. This ensures you are 100% happy with everything and that we make the best use of the available time on the day of the shoot.
You can find a detailed journal spanning two decades, and read about rationale behind my ideas at my retro-fitness themed site:-
