Emilia

I always think it is important to collab as a photographer, it allows you to meet the most amazing likemided people but also have less restrictions than if you were out working for a client. I took myself down to Falmouth to meet the lovely Emilia where we went to the most gorgeous secret beach and had a play. Emilia was a trooper getting stuck right into the water and creating these lovely shots -

Dinner and Friend

Some of you may know that I started out my photography career working in a studio for a large product retailer. So when Sue from Dinner and Friend contacted me to produce some photos of her stunning dinnerware, I was excited to go back to my roots and produce some stylised product work. She wanted some clean, minimal photos to show off her new designs, check out the work below -

Yoke The Salon - Rebrand

I always love working with the guy at Yoke, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my hair. I was recently asked to come down and take some new photographs of their new re-brand. It looks gorgeous so take the time to visit them down at Royal William Yard, Plymouth.

Rapanui

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while - I have been working on a long project so had very little time to catch up on this. I hope everyone is keeping safe in light of recent events and remaining positive!

Here is some work from my shoot a few weeks back with Rapanui. I always love working for this brand as I fully support their morals; all of their clothing is made from natural materials using renewable energy. They also design all the clothing to be sent back once you’ve worn it out to then be remade it to brand new clothing - how amazing is that!

I was tasked to create some lifestyle content for them for use over their social platforms and website. I think I chose the windiest day of the year to shoot which was challenging but I had some amazing models who were troopers and braced the cold throughout the day.

I hope you enjoy some of the photos!

Lydia

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to talk about one of my latest shoots with the lovely Lydia. It is always a pleasure working with Lydia, we are both huge lovers of the outdoors so we took ourselves to the gorgeous Bodmin Moor where we spent a few hours exploring the area whilst I took photographs of our journey.

Here are some of the photos below -

Bodmin moor is a naturally beautiful backdrop and great area to explore with an abundance of history. Here is a behind the scenes image of an old derelict engine house from a tin mine.

On a side note, this was one of my first shoots taking out my new mini tog bag. I couldn’t recommend it enough - after falling in love with my larger grey tog bag, I knew the quality and overall feel would be great. This smaller version is perfect for when I want to just take a camera and a few primes rather than my whole camera set up and the tan colour is gorgeous too. (pictured above)

Mila - Santa Cruz Skateboards

I have been wanting to shoot with this lovely lady for a long time now, so when Mila asked me to photograph some content for Santa Cruz skateboards and Goose and Gander I was super excited to get planning.

We shot a selection of images on the cliff overlooking the beach and then some more in a beautifully painted housing estate. Both locations worked perfectly to create a fun, colourful backdrop to compliment the laid back clothing style. We even got to check out Mila’s skating skills! Take a look at some of the photos from the shoot below -

True Vision Brand

Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying my blog so far. Today I am writing up about my recent shoot for True Vision Brand.

True Vision Brand create beanies, wallets, belts and hoodies and I was tasked to create a range of content for their website, social media and amazon store. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with, everyone got on so well which only makes this style of photography easier with friendships and laughter being natural and unforced.

We worked out of a cafe and a restaurant along with various outdoor locations to not only give us a variety of images but give us a place to carry on working whilst unpredictable weather was forecast. Take a look at some of the images from the shoot below -

A massive thankyou to Abi for assisting me - you were great!

Lucy Cole

This year I am focusing on trying to diversify my portfolio; I mean I love all of my coastal shoots and will in no way be stopping them - but I feel it’s always great to show off a variety of skills. Many of you may not know that I come from a studio background so always love to take the lighting out for a spin when I get the chance.

It is always great to be able to work from the comfort of your own living room - cup of tea in hand. So I set up a small studio space and invited Lucy Cole over for a play. I’ve wanted to shoot this kind of portraiture for a while now - super clean and non fussy to really focus on the subject. I wanted to keep the posing quite playful and I am extremely happy with the results.
