I did on-site and studio based editorial and commercial work back between 1996-2000. Trained with two top tier commercial photographers (yawn). Lost interest in having editors and companies telling me how they wanted their pictures.

 

Have been happily taking pictures for my own sake here and there ever since. Mostly from 2006. Last professional job was in 2014.

Nakedhand takes some fun and imaginative photos! It's obvious he's a very technically proficient photographer - it's nice to see someone take that tech skill and use it enhance their creativity rather just make a bunch of flashy clinical nerdy crapola. Plus, he's given me a good dose of constructive criticism which a hobbyist/amateur such as myself really appreciates!
