"ONLY YOU NEED TO KNOW THE REASON TO HAVE THEM DONE".
Hey, I'm Warren, a professional photographer and visual artist and my goal is to create the type of art that uplifts, empower and celebrates women. The type of art that you would be proud of having on display.
I Have worked in the fast fashion industry for the last 5 years. My passion for wanting to uplift people developed from being surrounded by people failing to see who they really were, being overly critical and negative of themselves, when I simply didn't see them that way. I heard them say so many negative things about themselves and wanted to show them, that wasn't true. I always saw something in them but in their own unique way.
I have been a photographer for years and there is nothing more rewarding than when I get the genuine reaction of "OMG is that me?" and the confidence that then builds.
-
Do I have to be a model?No! Absolutely not! I bring out the inner model of the everyday woman. You will leave the experience feeling like a model though... and maybe a career change
-
But i don't know how to pose....Nothing to worry about! There will be image inspo, I can help direct and guide you, I am strangely good at it :)
-
What if I want a more modest session?Sessions are tailored and customised to each person. Whatever your comfort level is, is what the session will be. Comfort brings confidence, confidence transcends into a stronger image.
-
How long is a session?Sessions are between 2-3 hours depending on the package. The time flies by!
-
What if I don't want my session inside a studio?I am happy to do sessions at your home, hotel, outdoor on location anywhere you are interested in and would feel most comfortable. Some travel fees and booking costs may apply.
-
Can i bring someone with me?Of course! Bring whoever you like for support. Depending on the package there may be a small team present.
-
What if I don't want my images shared publicly?All sessions are 100% confidential and are only shared with specific consent from my clients. If you want them to stay private, you will be the only one to lay eyes on them! They are your intimate images and will NEVER be shared without permission
-
What if I'm nervous?That's ok, totally understandable. Nerves are perfectly normal. I promise you will feel at ease with good fun positive energy, music of your choice to set the vibe and maybe a glass of proesseco...
-
What if I have a blemish, scar or "imperfection" I don't want seen?I personally wouldn't remove anything or edit anything that isn't natural/ permanent, I like to capture and edit the real version of you. However, this is not about me, this is about YOU! if you have any specific requests they are always welcome. I want you to be happy with the art we create.
-
What if I'm not a size zero?ALL body shapes and sizes are welcome, that's the beauty of art there is no limits. With guidance to posing and knowledge of lighting techniques i will make sure you are looking and feeling amazing in every image!
