Nij

I am an experienced photographer based in Wigan . I have almost 10 years experience shooting portraiture and model photography.

I enjoy doing portraiture work and glamour as well as stock photography. I have worked with many talented models and my only focus is to produce amazing art. I am happy to shoot males, females and trans, I do not discriminate. More images will be uploaded from time to time.

I am happy to push my boundaries and expand my portfolio (if something or someone interests me enough then I will consider TFP) so if you have any ideas that you want to try out, please don't hesitate to contact me (the weirder the better). [email protected] if I don't reply on here.

I am happy to shoot on location and I do have access to my own small studio. I am happy to collect and you pick up as well as drop off after the shoot (however I do not have boarding facilities). 

I do have access to a makeup artist (or you can do your own or supply your own artist) and I can supply professional prints at cost prices delivered to your door.

*HOW I WORK*

Before any shoot, I like to speak to the model(s) about a week before the booking and work out exactly what they want to gain from working with myself. I usually will work out a mood or ideas board which I will send to you and we can discus the ultimate goal further.

I am happy to advise on clothing/props (I can even supply some props - ask me, you may be surprised what I have or can get hold of), however due to space, I do not have a dedicated changing room in my studio (I do have a area I can curtain off for your privacy). I do have a desk area, which can be used as a makeup station (however, with the exception of helping my partner paint her toe nails once, I have zero experience of putting makeup on - unless you want to look like a clown?). 

Nothing is weird to me. I have a very very varied background and I am happy to consider anything - well except stepping on to the models side of the camera - my cameras cost too much to break.

Outside location, I drink coffee if its cold or cola if its warm. Please remember that I do not control the weather or natural light (if you are wanting a silhouette image on the beach with a sunset behind, I cannot guarantee there will not be clouds in the sky also.....).

Inside location, again I drink coffee or cola, but I am not a decorator or a furniture removal guy (I don't mind chipping in with moving furniture don't get me wrong, but I am not picking up that grand piano), also, I will bring some lighting equipment and even some backgrounds, but really the decor which is the backdrop is down to yourselves.

*PLEASE NOTE*

I take safety and privacy seriously, I hold an enhanced DBS check. I will NEVER publish any images without the model (& guardian/appropriate adult) consent. 

Model release and ID's are required for all photo shoots.

I will shoot under 18 year old, however I require an appropriate adult present at all times and I require model release and ID's for the model and the adult. For a baby shoot, I require proof of guardianship as well as model release and ID's for the guardian/appropriate adult.

Generally I do not allow chaperones due to distractions that they cause, however I understand that some people are nervous, so please advise me if it is your intentions to bring one (obviously under 18's I require a chaperone - however they may be asked to leave the studio and view from another room if the model is too distracted). 

I am interested in time for print or payment made work which can be for used for publication or private use.
