Hi, my name is Steve, im 35 and originally from Bradford in the UK. I am constantly trying to improve my experience in photography, and love orkign with new people, and in new places.
Back in University I did a module in photography as part of my course and really loved it, unfortunately life got in the way, and I never really pursued it with any great effort, just appreciating views as I went along, occasionally getting a good shot with an instomatic, and sometimes wishing I could do better.
Well I reached a point in life where I felt I had enough time to focus more on photography, and am attempting to throw myself back into it, and so far I am loving every second.
I love taking landscape photo's, trying to capture the breathtaking scene before you is often hard and the photo never seems to do justice to the real thing, although I like to think I have come close a time or two. However, the trouble with landscapes is they don't really move, and apart from visiting a spot a few different times to catch it in different light, your essentially taking the same picture. Now I am spending more time on photography moving onto people seemed like a natural choice, every single person is unique, and the possibilities each provide are almost endless.
Studio style shots are mostly done using portable backdrops from my home (or other indoor locations).
I have a selection of my photos posted on the community page below, comments and critique are always welcome :D
stevemid.deviantart.com/ For TFP Shoots, I can provide a copy on DVD on the day of the shoot of all photos taken (JPG & RAW) or if you would prefer to bring your own USB drive or SD card I can copy them onto those. Or, if you prefer to wait, I can include my final cut of the photos, along with .psd files for any that I have adjusted (lighting/background etc). Please be aware this can take me a few weeks, as I can only work on them in snipets of free time.
I am happy to shoot to any level, but it's always best to clarify before any shoot just what you would like. If you unsure of the terminology, a definition can be found here
