Headshots with the UK’s ‘Heavy Metal Marine Biologist’

I recently enjoyed taking some headshots/portraits with The Blowfish, an fast-rising TV personality described as the ‘heavy metal marine biologist’. He’s best known, so far, for appearing on popular BBC Worldwide adventure series Fishing Impossible as a main presenter. ​ Shooting at his home, I captured some basic, relaxed images as well as some shots […]

Singer-songwriter Ellie Larke: Location live music in Greenbank, Bristol

Female singer-songwriters have been heard frequently in recent years, encompassing everything from folk and underground rock to big-selling pop superstars. I’ve been a fan of the style since raiding my Mum’s Joan Baez LPs as a child and later discovered contemporary voices like Dar Williams. So I’m often fervent in separating the wheat from the chaff, distinctive […]

Suit of armour

Yesterday I shot something a little different in the studio, a friend in a full suit of armour! Lucy, who had the suit of armour for a week as part of a very interesting project she’s involved with, arrived dragging the heavy metal outfit in a trolly. The armour forms part a character Lucy is […]

New Photography Studio in Bristol city centre

In early December, I moved into a fantastic photographic studio right in the heart of Bristol. Sharing with one other photographer, the studio is large enough for a wide range of portrait and light commercial photography and I have already received several clients who love the location and space. There are multiple professional Bowens studio […]

Miss Jessica Holly seaside shoot

Here’s some sun-kissed images from back in the summer with Bristol pinup icon, Miss Jessica Holly, who you may remember from some of my previous blog posts. We made some good use of the natural golden light streaming across the beach as Weston-Super-Mare, as Jessica modelled a range of retro outfits and accessories. See more […]

Dr Sketchy’s Bristol – life-drawing with a twist

Billing itself as an ‘anti-art school’, Dr Sketchy’s is life drawing classes with a difference. It was found back in 2005 by Ms Molly Crabapple and since then groups have slung up all over the globe, recently launched in Bristol. I’ve been helping founder, Boo (aka Lou Leigh Blue) with music and photography at the […]
