This is the sort of portraits I want to get into. Nothing too glossy and nice, more gritty, dark and interesting. If you want to be photographed in this way let me know and I’ll rip you through a price list……………. actually don’t know what to charge yet but will probably ask my good mate Tony Hewitt.
I like the idea of the photo being an art piece that you would hang on the wall not a little 5×7 you put into an album and never look at again. I want it to be interesting and don’t want to end up hating doing it because of creative restrictions. No smiling, no cuddling, no looking lovingly into each others eyes. I want none of that. If you need that sort of a photograph I’m not your guy.

Hey Fletch, I remember you posting some news on portraits some time ago. Skye & I would be very keen for you to send us a package and get some shots done. We are both artistic in our own right and don’t particularly want those cuddle images. We like the art house style and a portrait of ourselves as individuals as well as a couple would be great, I might even bring my violin as a prop !
Cheers Adrian
Looks like you have a booking already Fletch…waytogo Adrian!!
Haha, how about you try doing a wedding, no smiles or cuddles style?? That would be cool!
So have you snapped the family and given them the same treatment?
Can’t decide if this is “film Noir” or maybe the trailer for the next ” Twilight series.” Its good though.
Interesting style Christian, I cant say that I have seen to many portraits like this, I recon you might be onto something here. Hope it pans out well for you.

Sounds like a great idea and an angle so you wouldnt get sick of that everyday portrait look.
Love you to do something artistic with my kids Christian! Send me some prices and we will organise a time! Kym
Badass!! like the portrait though… i gotta try that!
nice man, Good luck with this idea think it could be a winner!
Now I can see what you were on about on the boat trip. Should be a good market for this style of portraiture, I’m not a fan of the cuddly/smiley stuff either. If I ever need a portrait done you’ve just got the gig. Can you passport photos’?
a great idea and one thats pretty original. in this day and age in photography is a breath of fresh air indeed.
Top idea Christian! These sorts or portraits would be super cool for all sorts of occasions… little people, big people, weddings…
My first reaction was that you look like some demented character out of a Stephen King horror novel, the kind of person that ‘looks’ safe but really is a sadistic mass murderer. Just my take, mate, but it creeps me out.
I like this style. Lots of this stuff around at the moment. I’m doing a similar series (in portrait though) with a certain set of people.
Dan you should look around more. Everything has been done before but we can all put our little twist on it.
