As I dust off the corners of this blog, I keep finding little sessions that I’ve done here and there over the years that I never blogged. It seems that I wasn’t THAT dormant after all, it’s like I’ve been regularly getting hits of portrait sessions to keep my need for working with humans satiated!… Keep Reading
Brand portraits: Bloomtown founder Preya
Preya founded Bloomtown, a sustainable skincare brand with her husband Med from their kitchen table. She needed some portraits for her social media surfaces, and came in for a brand portrait session. The studio session gravitated towards pink, but we made sure to also capture some outdoors images that echoed the two years she spent… Keep Reading
Brand Portraits: Kasha from Snapsha Photography
Photographers need brand portraits, too! It was so lovely to meet Kasha and traipse around Newquay and the colourful houses of Nansledan with a bunch of balloons in tow. Colour was very much on the agenda for this Cornish brand portrait session. And before you ask, the ‘ugly/funny’ faces animation was very much Kasha’s idea… Keep Reading
Jonnie: male model portfolio session on Fistral Beach in Newquay
On a still slightly chilly spring day, we had a commercial shoot booked in with Jonnie, and since he drove five hours (!) to come all the way to Cornwall, we decided to also shoot a little beachy portfolio session – would have felt like a waste of all that traveling otherwise! Even though we… Keep Reading
Cornwall model portfolio session: Beth on Crantock beach
The dunes on Crantock beach, the wind in her hair, and THAT dress. I mean, this is what Cornwall model portfolio session dreams are made of!
Lydia : autumnal Cornish model portfolio shoot in the dunes
Cornwall provides such a gorgeous backdrop to photography and creating portfolio images for local models is something that I really enjoy doing. I love the autumnal beachy tones and warm light that we captured in this portfolio session with Lydia. ‘I found my relationship with Cornwall very early on in my life. For years my… Keep Reading
Model portfolio session: beach shoot with Meg
The ocean, endless sky, sand between your toes, and a pop of red. What else do you need for a successful model portfolio session? This one with Meg took place on Fistral beach.
Brand Portraits for Creatives in Cornwall
Carrie runs Jewelbox Cornwall, a small creative business where she hand paints beautiful frames for people’s heirlooms. It was a joy to take some brand portraits for her new website, even if we were experiencing the strongest winds Cornwall had seen in a while, which made our trip to the beach a literal whirlwind! If… Keep Reading
Model portfolio session: on the beach with Maisie
A warm July sunset, Crantock beach in Cornwall… could there be a lovelier setting for a model portfolio shoot. We managed to cram in two different outfits and plenty of giggles into this quick session with Maisie.
Cornwall model portfolio session: Libby
The weather couldn’t have been more glorious for this model portfolio session on Crantock beach in Cornwall with Libby. That’s what I call a blue sky! If you need to build your portfolio, you can find information on model portfolio sessions here.
Day as a ballerina : a styled portrait session
I’ve been shooting a LOT lately. I feel like an old flame has been rekindled and I want to be doing so much more with photography again. One of the ways of shaking things up is by combining client work with projects that are inspirational to me. These ballerina lifestyle portraits of dancer Rose Hartigan… Keep Reading
The Siren of the Sea : Elli
I met Elli for the first time when she was just 3 months old. A few years later, she was the subject of one of my favourite portraits I’ve ever taken. Now, at thirteen, she is turning into such a beautiful and gentle young woman, and I couldn’t be happier that I had the chance… Keep Reading
The Magic of Cornwall: The Siren of the Sea
Ever since I moved to Cornwall, I’ve yearned to do a shoot that incorporated some of the stunning scenery here, from the beautiful beaches to the magnificent cliffs with views over the majestic Atlantic Ocean, combined with the kind of portrait photography I want to do more of in the future. When I came across… Keep Reading
Dreamers | Amy Seeley
After stumbling into my personal project with Jerome, I was a little bit worried about losing momentum, about not following through. With this second instalment of Dreamers I’ve regained faith in the knowledge that this will indeed be a series. It will continue, because keeping it alive keeps a fire burning, a fire I wish… Keep Reading
Dreamers | Jerome Alexander of Message to Bears
This blog post means a great deal to me. It is both a return to something familiar, and the beginning of something new. Before I shot weddings, before I got lucky enough to be too busy to think about anything but weddings, I used to make a lot of personal work. Photography was an outlet… Keep Reading
Neri | Portrait
I don’t often take portraits of just one person, and it’s even rarer that I would blog any of those, simply because I see myself more as a photographer of couples. But I couldn’t resist sharing this one frame of the gorgeous Neri, whose beauty pales only in comparison to her accomplishments. What an inspirational lady… Keep Reading
We love… Rock ‘n Roll Bride
A while back I asked Kat, of Rock ‘n Roll Bride fame, to take part in a personal photography project of mine. She was all up for it, and I’m really pleased with the results (which can be seen in my personal portfolio). Somehow Kat managed to persuade me to also take some portraits of… Keep Reading
Michelle | Author Portrait
On Friday I had the pleasure of taking portraits of author Michelle Lovric. Taking author portraits was a new experience for me, and it was interesting trying to approach the task from a perspective of ‘what does the portrait convey to the reader’. It did add another aspect to taking a portrait, and I must… Keep Reading
