Fashion Photographer
Daniel Bates- Newcastle UK
Fashion Photographer
My Name is Daniel and I have studied photography for the past 4 years, however it is only recently that I have begun to work with people, rather than objects. I am 22 from Peterlee, and although I do not own my own studio, I have a full set up at home and a room that I converted so that I may create studio style images.
My passion started with art but quickly became more photography orientated. Throughout my studies, our topics have been very narrow in what we must do, and usually how we must do it. The work that I create outside of University is giving me the opportunity to express myself and show my work in a way that reflects me. The style I aim for is edgy yet artistic and creative. I always base my images around ideas and then try to convey that through many techniques, including any media or props that may also emphasise that look.
I have not long created my own website at danielbatesphotography. com to showcase my work and i have received some positive feedback about many of my images. In the future I hope my interest in photography will introduce me to new and interesting people who I will get the chanceto work with, allowing me to continue doing what I love. www. danielbatesphotography. com rofessionally for over a year now.
approached by agents on sites like Facebook I thought w things go if I get a portfolio put together.... Lucky me I shoot with another brilliant photographer. Both helped
the year I ' ve been doing this and intend to carry on
