............... "
Photography is a way of personalizing the world in which we live and of giving it a perspective with which we can identify. The same is true of the people that we photograph.
My favourite subject is "the girl next door". A large number of these I have asked to pose for me after a brief encounter in a café or elsewhere, other times after meeting more formally through friends. I have also photographed some models starting out in their career, helping them to build up their book and met with more established professionals. Until recently, these remained a small percentage of my models - however, this was written over ten years ago and I am now getting older and more lazy. In all these cases I strive nevertheless to record something personal and revealing of their character and I follow them around with my camera for that purpose.

EQUIPMENT: I have a couple of digital NIKONs with zoom lens and a flash attached. I do not use other equipment. ...........
N.B. In no circumstance will I ever post a photo of an under-aged subject in unsuitable state of dress - definition, under I8 years old. Messages posted and sent to me privately to that effect are a waste of everyone's time, mine in particular - please cease to fantasize in this respect.
LASTLY: Some people like to reflect on the attention given to nude photos of beautiful women on Photo Net, with the usual quota of .. well meaning .. remarks. However, I made an interesting discovery .. my most viewed folder by a huge margin is the one on PORTRAITS ... hmm, now how will they answer that .. smile.
.............................People sometimes ask me what I do. I was a post-doctoral research fellow and senior university lecturer in the cardiovascular field for several years before I moved to Industry - quantum mechanics, astrophysics and photography are my hobbies. John Peri is an alias.
