My Bio
I am a Professional Photographer and Photographic artist. I am truly loving and finding my niche in fine art figure & dance/motion based shoots. I do, however also love many styles of portraiture.

I am a passionate person, one who only works when I feel deeply connected to my work. For those waiting for edits, this is why. My regular models understand this and are fabulous.

I am grateful to those that work hard with me to get THE image I desire, therefore adding to both our portfolios.

My photography website is being redesigned and will be with us all soon. Bear with.
In the meantime, do find some of my work on www.facebook.com/murphysfocusp…

Should you wish to collaborate with me, then do feel free to get in touch with your ideas.

I am a Shiatsu Practitioner and Bodyworker / Auricular and Facial Acupuncturist with clinics in Chelsea, South Kensington, Berkhamsted & Tring. I absolutely adore and enjoy working with changing patterns of behaviour with my clients and seeing them transform in many ways. I truly love witnessing the benefits of Shiatsu and really change their world.

All I do, I do with my heart, so let's make this happen.

Firstly let me say I love the image - there are many qualities to it that work for me.

Firstly it has a story to it, it allows the watcher to view it using their imagination as to why her pose is as such and why items on her side are in disarray. Who knows? These questions could arise and more.

The model is fabulous, she is deeply emotive and that comes across very well.

Of course the lighting technique balanced and use of shadows done to perfection.

The only thing I find a litle unusual is the pose. I feel that it could have worked if her hand were not over her head in such a way - perhaps there was another way to convey her message. Perhaps the photographer would point out his thoughts .... or not.

This is merely my thoughts, raw.
