This Website is dedicated to my enthusiasm for Tattoo Photography, mainly to separate the Landscape, Pet, Portrait and Wedding Photography I normally undertake, from a passion I have for Photographing Tattooed Individuals and Tattooists at work. I've been using Digital Cameras for a while now and in the past few years I've been fortunate enough to Photograph a number of Tattooists at work either in their own Studios or at a Festival and Tattooed individuals in their everyday environment. I process the images I take in Lightroom, Topaz Labs and Photoshop, putting my own individual stamp on them with dramatic Black & White effect, Sepia or maybe and old film or Lomo (Instagram) preset. I never know what effect I'm going to apply to an image until I open it up in front of me on the Computer. I view the image, then I may try a few different Software filters before manipulating each image and finally settling on one Filter or maybe a mix of one or more to complete the finished image... Thank you for visiting. Mike Shields Photography
