United Kingdom
I am an amateur photographer, I prefer taking portraits but am experimenting with other things too. I use a Nikon D7000 and some vintage cameras; Pentax SLR, Mini Diana and a Polaroid colour (if those cameras actually count as vintage, but they're old to me).
I really wanted to get my photos out there and I thought well this is the place to go...
At the moment my camera is called Boldrick and I would love some feed back on how me and him are doing.
If you want to contact me my email is jacoby-thescared@hotmail.com.
My twitter name is @Lunchpackmaquak
If you want a print of one of my pictures please, feel free to ask.
Please do not use my photography for your own advantage it is mine after all.
