*NB:The images here are mainly my latest shoot: Visit My Website For The Full Picture (LOL)
Google Glossy Pink Lipstick.
Works With: Anyone who communicates well and and often, and sticks to a shoot date regardless of experience, size or age, so just ask!
Whilst I would love to work with experienced models, I mainly work with New to Intermediate models because:
A: I don’t pay anyone and most girls after 2 shoots think they are good enough to earn.
B: New models generally have a much smaller ego!
C: New models generally appreciate me more!
D: Im not that good!
About me:
I believe in giving as much info as possible to ensure your expectations are met so this very long but read it all....Unless you get bored first...
WANNA SHOOT! Some photographers come across as scary and un-approachable or up themselves, I try not too.
Despite my experience or what I say if you want a shoot simply ask. Providing you can fulfil the three rules listed a shoot is almost guaranteed although you might have to book well in advance. The main thing is keep in touch and be contactable.
Reputation: is everything. You decide!
Style:
Mainly Glamorous and Beautiful Images of Ladies that is soft and subtle. Simple Images (because I don’t know any other way).
Shoot: Anything from Boudoir to Fashion, Headshots and Lingerie, up to Implied/Topless but no nude! That’s me and the same applies to you!
Place: Yours or Outside, general room or living room, no studios or my place.
Quote:” It’s my living room not your effing studio" Mrs GlossyPinkLipstick.
The bigger the better. Studio style headshots require a studio type room and cannot be shot outside (yes someone did ask that) Tip: Inside.
Space Needed: Not much as I will work with what I have, plain wall and 10ft is good. If you want full length I need a long room. Can shoot a headshot in a bedroom if I have to...and have done, see Michelle Smith, and prefer more space if possible.
Hang-ups: None:
Sense of humour: Maybe but You decide! Sarcastic-Yes Really.
Travel: Yes Depending on location! But by CAR not Space Rocket. Please don’t send me a message if you live in Blackpool! Nothing against Blackpool as I have had a holiday there. Problem is that it's 5 hours from me!
What I can bring: My images are always shot "for the love of it", not for pay or image websites etc. Therefore you get my 100+% effort for your image.
I have a suitcase full of accessories if you want me to bring it say so but I don’t have shoes! You probably have hundreds so no worries!
I will bring 3 suitcases full of lighting and 2 stand bags plus a background and tripod. If you have stairs please tell me as I always seem to choose those in the penthouse to shoot (The area in the building not the magazine ahem!).
Chaperones: Rule1: Compulsory incase you are a stalker, serial killer or just plain psycho, its important that your carer and confidant is present. If your confidant tells you that you look fat in whatever you’re wearing I will do my utmost to make an idiot out of them! Boyfriends welcome as long as they are cool with you modelling (cool means "HAPPY" for you to do it not "HAPPY as long as I get to thump the photographer"
.
Knickers: Rule2: Much as I love lady bits, yours on camera would probably cause me to have a Heart Attack or Divorce (probably both), so knickers on but preferably not Bridget Jones pants as I haven’t found an ideal shooting style for these yet. (Definitely No VaGeenas).
Clothing: If you don’t know what to wear then look at my style, if you have Latex,Pvc,Shiny,Colourful,Unusual clothing is good. Tops slashed at the boobs, anything that shows cleavage, short skirts,stockings,suspenders, evening dress etc. Anything that flatters your shape or personality. 2 Bottle tops and fig leaf maybe acceptable(well 2 bottle tops and knickers anyway!).
Levels:
If you tick it hopefully you have an image of it otherwise i may query it. This is not pushing your levels it's checking! You can tell what i do from my images.
Boobs : Im happy to do implied. I talk frankly. If you have a strapless bra we might get away with using it for implied.
Size of boobs is not important as long as the measurement is standard and not "36 Long" and fake is ok as long as it’s not “2 baps and a Gap”
Implied shoots should be braless as bras showing through sort of ruins it and i find it helps if you feel sexy for these types of shoots.
Cleavage always looks good in images and if you have it im happy to help you flaunt it.
Nipples: (A Delicate subject)
I will shoot Nipples or No Nipples but prefer models who are not paranoid about if they stray into an image. If your of this disposition not sure why you have got your top off anyway?!
Airbrushing:
Yes i can airbrush you and aim to make you look as beautiful as possible, whatever we shoot. Unfortunately i can’t turn "A"s into "C"s or take 6 inches off your tummy no matter how good i am, so you'll just have to "suck it in". (Control pants not very photogenic).
Work: booked for at least 3 months in advance so if you can’t manage a diary AND KEEP AN APPOINTMENT forget it. If we book a shoot send your mobile number through the contact link on my website, that way i can get you.
Projects: Looking to shoot fantasy headshots, combined with lingerie and hats: There are always Castings on all sites i belong too. If you want a certain style of shoot or idea please ask as i am always happy to try new stuff with you.
Posing:
Most of my work is with relatively inexperienced Models. I can help you pose if you have little experience but i if I wanted to do it myself I would take self portraits.
Examples: All my best work is on my website: Nuff said.
Attitude: Im friendly easy going and easy to work with, don’t take myself too seriously as you probably gathered.

Feedback:
Always welcome
Published Works / Past Projects: None
Photographer Notes: “C Sharp”
Rates: Cheap to Non Existent.
TFCD: only and that includes you too. No expenses either.
If pay is your motivation then No is my answer...
Cancellations: Visiting Hospital, Funeral’s or any other BullSh*T excuse is not necessary. To cancel you need to write “please sir may I cancel the shoot we booked as I have changed my mind”. Ok I made the Sir bit up! Then you post a large box of Kleenex to address of photographer.
For You: Edited Images to upload with my logo on them. I don’t supply every image to you as if its not good enough for me its not good enough for you. If you want an image with your name on it just ask. You will however get ALL the good images.
Communication: Models who don’t communicate might as well not bother. I will call you up to a week before the shoot. If i get no response, by text, mail, phone call or msn i will assume your not interested and rebook. If you’re that hard to contact go try a less challenging pastime like Fishing.
I will also leave negative feedback if you bail too late and use the usual excuses.
Note: most sites show read mail!
Facebook: i can be found on Facebook .If you want an add it’s not a problem but please message me with some information. If there is no intention to shoot with me then why bother.
If you do add me and then cancel a shoot, please remember that posting how good your latest shoot was isn’t a smart move if you cancelled that day with me. (Yes it has happened).
If any model wishes to contact any model i have worked with directly feel free.
If you haven’t even cracked a smile whilst reading this probably best you don’t respond but at least you read it all!
Ok IF YOU HAVN'T LOST THE WILL TO LIVE, THINK WTF, OR ARE COMPLETELY PUT OFF AFTER ALL THAT AND STILL WANT A SHOOT THEN MAIL ME. I GENERALLY REPLY UNLESS YOU SIMPLY HAVNT READ MY INFORMATION CORRECTLY IN WHICH CASE YOU PROBABLY WONT NOTICE IF I DONT REPLY....WILL YOU...HEHE
PAUL
very impressive
