About me:
I have been interested in various artforms for many years: photography, painting and stage makeup have been with me for as long as I can remember, and I began singing in 2002. Nevertheless, photography seems to be my main calling.
As a photographer, I'm pretty much up for anything. My personal photos are very conceptual, minimalistic, surreal, "dada" images in which I try to reflect the way I see the world and the society we live in. I'd like to exhibit these in galleries in the future. Currently I'm in my third year of studying for a degree in photography.
I have worked with several bands, which is something I enjoy very much and would like to pursue, so if you're in the UK, have a band and need a photographer for live or promotional images, feel free to ask me.
I also do commissioned shoots. I'm interested in collaborations with models around the UK Midland area for fashion, portraiture, tasteful erotica, experimental; anything interesting and a little bit different. I can travel outside the Midlands or even the UK if expenses are paid for.
Otherwise I like all types of interesting music, books and films to make you think, coffee and sweet liquors.
So if you think you'd like to work with me sometime, or just have a chat, drop me a note. :)
Examples of my photography can be seen here or at my website, rmsmaelstrom.com.
If you are interested, I also sell prints of select works. Again, email me for details.
