Hi

[John Warwood]

Was recommended this site by a friend

My main line of work is portraits, I spend many happy hours working with models. I do a lot of studio work but I do enjoy location shoots with the models as you can get a lot more varied photos because there is only so much you can do in the studio.

Hi again John,

Good to see that a recommendation followed through..... I hope you stick around John.

You'll have to talk me through one day about your set up and what you use out and about.
Mind you, I'll get to see it in a few weeks too

Thanks for joining, it's a joy to have you on board.

 

[John Warwood]

Cheers Dan, such a shame you cannot make the shoot on the 9th. Should be good, great location (found by you of course) and some wonderful young ladies to work with as well. I just hope the weather warms up a bit for them.

Welcome to RPF John. I'm sure you'll enjoy the place and looking forward to seeing your work and chatting about image making.

 

[John Warwood]

Cheers Pete, I think I will

Ooh yes, looks like the weather is getting much warmer john, although this morning was a fresh'n.

Gutted I couldn't make the shoot John, just getting carried away and running before I can walk most of the time, don't say a word @Kev Pugh! I know what your like.
Definitely have to plan for a reschedule so that I can check out how you do your lighting and learn a few tips or two.

I main issue if I was to ever get into modelling (in which my wife would frown up (can't see the issue)), is how I would talk to the models, getting them to be comfortable with what your doing.

We have a couple of great glamour photoggers a here in the name of @adam hoskins and @Bobby Deal that do very similar to your work.
Then you have @Pete Askew and @Paul Lange who are the nudity abstract gods.
But saying that, everyone has had a go of it on here.

Hello John and welcome. I too am a new member and if you are treated as I've been treated, then you'll be fine. Done quite a lot of studio work myself and with models, but haven't really introduced them here yet. All the best to you.

I have only just been warmly welcomed to this forum. So, I will just say hello and look forward to your posts.
