A portrait photographer’s favourite bits of photographic stuff…

The Clockwork Orange Stokes Croft Riot burlesque photo shoot

Stokes Croft is a small inner suberb of Bristol that recently hit national headlines after riots broke out in the area.

Alexandra Hofgartner circus burlesque photoshoot, Circomedia Bristol
