Practice Makes Perfect!

The weather over the past few weeks as been awful. One of the portrait sessions I offer is “Portraits In The Park”. These sessions are great for any age group and even better when you have a bit of cloud (pref white cloud). Either way it works well with grey clouds too. Not many people [...]

John Rabbetts, Artist - Photoshoot!

What a day. I’m a bit tired! I woke up early this morning to get my entry in for the LowePro UK photo contest. It was worth it though as I won. After that I was off to Bridport to shoot images for the cover of a DVD. The subject was artist John Rabbetts. We [...]

We were all crap once!

I decided to go through my old photos… I keep pretty much every photo I have ever taken! Do you? Most of them are awful. I mean they really really suck. But then I noticed something… The photos I took with my old film camera a Canon EOS 50e are actually pretty good. It wasn’t [...]

Fathers Day Shoot

Originally I had planned on getting my little boy and girl in a shoot for fathers day. However Nikita was a bit too tired and I’m a bit too impatient. So Toni did her hair, makeup and put a nice frock on while Korben and I set up the lights. I talked Korben through each [...]

Cupcake Bliss

I do like coffee cupcakes! Not a massive cake fan, but I like how something so small can be so attractive. I’ve been stuck inside waiting for a delivery today. Mmmm it better arrive. Anyway, I managed to get hold of a couple of (three) cupcakes from The Cake Hole, in Okehampton. At last, something [...]


Burlesque Shoot

Burlesque Shoot

It looks like a small but productive studio, but today the foundations were rocked by Rachael. With her new burlesque outfit complete, peacock feathers sewn in place and mutli-coloured feathers fresh from the shores of a foreign nation, the studio was booked for a mammoth 2 hour session (quite a lot for a portrait shoot), [...]
