After my shoot with Emilia, I went to shoot the gorgeous Hope. We were working on the verge of a downpour, but this gorgeous grey sky produced the softest light which is always my favourite to work with. We didn’t have long but I am happy with the results -

Rapanui - Maisie
The same week that I shot Gavin for Rapanui clothing, I also shot Maisie to create some female lifestyle imagery for the brand. We headed to my favourite beach, it is so so beautiful there; so a dream to create dynamic shots for the client.
Rapanui - Gavin
Hey! Today I want to write about my recent shoot with Gavin for Rapanui clothing. Our brief was to create fun, dynamic lifestyle imagery to show the brands new products for their website and social channels.
Gavin was a dream, spending his day backflipping, standing on his head and running about to create the perfect shots. We had some trouble with the amount of people on the beach (being lockdown) but we managed to work around them to create some great work!
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 -
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.
