I started my photographic journey in July 1997 with the birth of my eldest daughter, Genevieve. I had no idea what I was doing, no understanding of exposure, lighting, nothing....But I was determined to learn, and I think I have done that.You never stop learning about photography, it's an ever growing passion, and a never ending learning curve, and I love that. There is always something new to discover, or learn.I moved over to model photography in 2012. Why?

I had no idea what I was doing, no understanding of exposure, lighting, nothing....But I was determined to learn, and I think I have done that.You never stop learning about photography, it's an ever growing passion, and a never ending learning curve, and I love that. There is always something new to discover, or learn.I moved over to model photography in 2012. Why? Simply put, it scared the heck out of me. The idea of working one on one with a real person, making an idea come to life, all scared me. It was a good challenge during a particularly quiet period in my life, so it gave me a goal, something to achieve.Since then, I've worked with countless models on all sorts of ideas, ranging from art nude, to latex, to lingerie, to working within the landscape and including the model. I've had to learn even more than ever about studio lighting, and on location lighting. I've enhanced my interpersonal skills, my ability to speak to people on all levels, and of course, how to take beautiful images. My experience now includes:Model interaction, and communication.Studio lighting, and etiquette.Off camera flash, and location lighting.Model safety, and comfort.I also have experience shooting high speed images. I've done some work for a local T shirt company who required a fast turn around of images.Throughout my few years, I have been blessed with dozens of publications, and new associations.As I type this, I am one of only 4 official photographers for Delicious Dolls Magazine, a US based pin up publication.If anyone would like to commission me, or hire me, I am more than happy to discuss your needs and requirements and provide a competitive quote. Look forward to hearing from you.www.tony-smith.co.uk www.facebook.com/tonysmithphoto Show less
