Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

As a "pro" I consider it improper for me to comment on the actions of my colleagues, thus will make comment from my own business dealings. In my innocence, several years ago, I used to provide proof pictures to private "nude" clients via a website with an evident copyright mark a...

Paul spoke to me about the possibility of introducing the erotic nude as a competition, on the night my erotic nudes were warmly received at your club. I encouraged him to do this...

...so, maybe some people would prefer to shout at me rather than at Paul???

Kind Regards

John

Being a professional erotic photographer, who was kindly invited to talk to your club & very well received, I am needless to say going to be a little biased towards eroticism! However, Paul's predicament is far from new and I have suffered it on many occasions. When I teach classes and individua...

Hi, sorry I've not been around for a while...I got struck down by the 'flu just before Xmas and having been struggling to shake it off ever since. If anyone is available and interested, Mark Cleghorn is coming to the Britannia Hotel in Stockport to give a day of tutorials regarding his style of off-...

John's idea has been done several times with exhibition and subsequent books published...I even tried out the idea myself in the 90's when I paid for an advert in London's "Time Out" Magazine. The advert read "Dare To Bare, full nudity, no pay, pure art Tel: 07946477005"....30 wo...

Dear All, Paul has asked me to comment on your nude pictures and I'm in two minds of what to say??? May I start by saying well done for having a go! If you never have a go and never experiment you'll never get anywhere in life! I started out just like you have and have only arrived where I am today ...

WOW!!! Well I've just seen Tony's fantastic testimonial to me. Thank You....VERY MUCH! If anybody is trying to find out about me there are a few websites to view: http://www.j27photoschool.com This is the Photoschool for general aspects of photography, with a sign up form to get the schools occasion...

I once took a photograph of the back of my front teeth, using a homemade pinhole camera stuck to the tip of my tongue...bit different!

Dear All...I'm just about to join your club! So, maybe I'd better start sharing some of my "secrets" with you. (To people in "the know" they won't be very secret, sorry!) I've viewed a few message threads here about the price of Epson printer paper. I haven't used epson paper for...

Hi Tracey Sorry I can't suggest any more than the other guys here...but I have to say that's a seriously GOOD photograph, that I would offer to a stock agency (but then I'm always thinking of how to convert an image into £...that's how my head works!). Quite honestly, you should be proud of the pict...

Dear All Sorry for the late notice but would anybody mind if I popped in as a "visitor" this week. The two times I've been I've rather enjoyed myself and if possible I'd like to come along again. However, I don't want to step on anybody's toes! I believe there is a talk on digital processe...

Thanks Tracey In your message you've captured the entire essence of what I'm all about "True Beauty" and "Beauty from within" rather than having to live up to the expectations of a society which is seemingly lead by marketeers and celebrity perfection. If only more women could be...

Dear Members I hope you're all well, I'm still getting over the positive comments following my talk to your club. It's a rarity that a lecturer gets such positive feedback but then I thoroughly enjoyed the session too! My ongoing "studio downsizing" came to head this week as my landlord ga...

Yes, I prefer the 2nd too..less posed and she looks more at ease

John

Well done! I think it's a lovely picture too! Although it's easy to say, I love teaching & really enjoyed last night. To see such a positive reaction like this to hearing my waffle is a great compliment...Thank YOU very much! Now I've registered there's all sorts of things I'd like to feed into ...
