Myfocus is on portraiture and on the glamourous, or sexy, or exotic requirements such as those interested in the fetish scene.My background of working in a variety of environments from closely controlled studio or location work, through general photography at events, to the chaotic environment of the London clubs."I like to feel that any photographic work I do will meet key criteria: professionalism, privacy, quality, and be enjoyable. In addition the use of modern digital cameras means that you can immediately see that I am delivering the type of picture you want."This website provides examples of the work done to date and costings for my work, so feel free to browse, and then contact me to discuss matters further."

Hopefully the photos in my galleries give you some ideas, but I am happy to work with anything from fine art nude, boudoir, through natural portraiture, to high fashon and fetish. The easiest way to think about what to wear is the story you want to tell. Who is the target audience? Are they pictures to help you see a different aspect of yourself? Are they pictures to send to a loved one. Are they private or public? I can help with these decisions of course, as having a clear view of the story you are telling will ensure the success of the photoshoot.Where do you want to be photographed? Modern technology means we can take photographs almost anywhere. Perhaps you want to take some photographs in your own home or garden, and want the glamourous magazine look. Or you want to go for the staged, studio look? There is also scope for environmental portrature out in the city, or a wood. If you have a venue in mind, and I can get access to it, then I have the technology to make it work.How do you think of a theme?Fortunately that's easy. Look through your favourite magazines and tear out pictures that you like. Perhaps it is the way someone is posed in a photograph, or the situation they were photographed in. Then we can review these together and work out something that will suit your needs. I also have galleries of people I've photographed, books of photographs, and pictures from magazines, and you can use these for inspiration too.How do you know you'll like the photographs?My goal is to create pictures that reflect the person you want when we were doing the photoshoot. With modern digital cameras, this means that I take the initial photograph, and make sure that the colours and lighting create the image you wanted. If you are dressed in a rich luxurious outfit, then you want the textures and colours to show in the photograph. If you want a soft focus moviestar effect then that is what the picture will show. I will tidy up anything that would distract the viewer from the focus of the picture. If we don't get what we want from the photoshoot, we will try again. And finally if you don't like the pictures you don't have to pay!All photographs © David Mackenzie 2006-2009.
