totallytaken

Welcome to my portfolio, and thanks for taking a look. It has been a while since I have shot with models due to other life commitments, time, energy etc, and to be honest, even longer since i set this profile up ... but now it high time I got back behind the camera! I have been a photographer for years, and although this isn’t my prime job, I do shoot weddings, events etc when asked, as a sideline, and would consider myself semi-professional. I am Worcestershire based but happy to travel for the right assignments.

I shoot because I enjoy it - not to try and earn my millions! Although, Currently I will work TF to rebuild my portfolio, but only with a select few local models and for a limited period. Once I am back up to speed, then my time, will come at a price - so if you want to work with me, then don't be offended when I give out my hourly rates – you approach me you pay for time, that’s how it works! Happy to quote for specifics like weddings, christenings, events, carnivals etc.

I have several styles that I like to shoot with and open to ideas of expression, and I like to work with particular themes (or ideas in my head that buzz around and I want them to come out!). If any of the following are of interest then please get in touch:

    Revenge of Jessica Rabbit
    Brides of Dracula
    Steam punk Ophelia
    …to name but a few

Seasonal opportunity’s may be taken too, like snow, yellow fields, autumn colours, Christmas etc. however I am not generally available at short notice, without prior planning.

Some of my current images, and previous shoots from when I did this game before are below - so feel free to have a look, but a better selection is on my website (put the words back together - www. totally taken . co . uk) All of which are now needing a refresh and update, so will welcome any approaches! Other profiles on PP and More grown up stuff on AF and FL

I don’t do socials, because of my day job, but feel free to message on here or via my website, if you are interest in working together.

I prefer to make people feel at ease when I work with them, so would rather meet for a coffee before a shoot and discuss ideas etc, or at least to chat online and get to know people a little first. Also I welcome chaperones so long as they are willing to be a bag monkey or even join in! I am on the Autistic spectrum, so sometimes come across a little obsessive, ask strange questions and will say things how I see them, but I am a nice person, and like working with friendly people.  

Important Bits:

    I will only work with models over the age of 18, unless chaperoned and consented by a suitable adult. No images will be taken of minors without parental consent and no nudity. ID where necessary will be checked
    I work to mutually agreed levels with a signed Model Release form, regardless of the shoot. This is to cover both myself and the model.
    I have DBS certs  and NSPCC safeguarding in place and happy to show if and when required
