Intro


I am keen to add as much variety and uniqueness to your photoshoots as possible, creating images that are striking, profound and thought-provoking. It is also important to me that you choose themes that have a deep personal significance for you, and/or resonate with the message that you want to convey to the world, and/or that contain resonance that will inspire.


Furthermore, and where possible, it would be great if your photoshoot included a sense of location / history so that the photos from the project conveyed just how wide ranging this movement is..

Heterosexuality

Anyone got a partner witih whom we can do this theme??

Multiple Themes


I am not adverse to doing multiple themes for each model - but will just try and prioritise certain themes to certain people so as not to overlap etc.

Phototherapy


This project has been borne out of phototherapy practice, and it is of little surprise that many of those who have contacted me so far see it as a fantastic opportunity to recover from abuse / resolve historical trauma / build confidence / step out of their comfort zone / get photos that really reflect their personality and identity. If this appeals to you, do let me know and we can develop some ideas that might also serve these purposes as well.
