Check this bird out. I worked with Charlotte from to capture portraits of some of the amazing birds she has roaming the farm.

It was a challenging shoot with lots of flapping, pooing (by the birds I add) and general craziness but we got through it in the end.

Prints of the birds are going to be available for sale soon via my website with some of the proceeds going back to the farm to help with Charlotte's amazing work - watch this space for more info soon.

Behind the scenes - A portrait session with Ken

I recently posted on my town's local page asking for volunteers for a quick portrait. The idea is to use any downtime I have to create work.

It's easy to procrastinate and waste time when not actively shooting or editing so I set myself the task of utilising all the time I had to shoot portraits and build up my portfolio.

I've been experimenting with this new lighting set-up inspired by the work of Martin Schoeller. The more portraits I take the closer I am to defining a body of work. So far there hasn't been a connection between the people I have photographed, but with each sitting, I'm thinking about how I might apply this and create a project which says something more than the technique itself.

So Ken kindly volunteered and came to my studio a few weeks back. One thing I love about these sessions is the chance to simply meet new and interesting people. It normally only takes 10-20 minutes but it's enough time to chat and learn about their personal story.

Thanks Ken 👍

Some behind-the-scenes GoPro footage of a recent portrait session in my studio.

These four siblings were great from the off. Comfortable in front of the camera and happy to laugh at my really bad dad jokes (it's the best material I have).

This was a portfolio shoot, continuing with my setup inspired by Martin Schoeller's two-light system.

*** Three Generations - A new style of portrait ***

Posting onto YouTube is new for me. I'm wanting to put my thoughts, behind the scenes and work on there so I can better share it.

Production level is questionalble but it'll do for now.

I'd love for you to take a look, like and comment with your thoughts.

I'm going to be photographing more portraits in this style. If you would like to discuss your kids/family's next portrait session, get in touch.

Inspiration for my work is all around. I love seeing what other photographers are doing and have done in the past. wrote a book called "Photogra...

Just came across this blog post by the shoe designer Harriet Wilde of a wedding I photographed in Norfolk. Always lovely to see my work featured on other suppliers' websites.

Hardwick Moat Weddings in Cambridgeshire sits at the top of a farmers track away from all the noise and traffic of the road. For guests, the only way up to the marquee is on a tractor, what more could you want?

There's glamping options, rolling fields, a bridge and of course the spacious marquee for the party. Great venue, great backdrop for wedding photography..

Take look at this blog post for photos from a wedding I shot there which included an awesome tug of war!

The perfect wedding at Coltsfoot Barn in Hertfordshire. This was my first visit to Colstfoot and boy was it a good'n!
The grounds have so many nooks and crannies that you can explore all within a close space.
One of the highlights was of course the who were quite cheeky to say the least.

Thanks for having me Mr & Mrs Shearing
