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 […]

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 […]

Using the Bowens Luminair Octobank 140

One of the big questions I get more often than any as a freelance photographer, particularly from the guys, is what gear I use. There are millions of photographic accessories out there to shape and manipulate light but I tend to prefer simple quality over finickiness. When I invest in a new piece of gear […]

Summertime family portraits

Even the often grey British summertime presents plenty of opportunity for fabulous family photo shoots. Here’s one little 15 month old baby exploring the ground of Bristol’s Ashton Court Mansion. While I’m pretty busy with family shoots on weekends there may still be some suitable slots available so do get in touch if you would […]

Pinup photography with a Spanish twist

Here are some images shot with Wiltshire-based alt-model and burlesque performer, Luna Rocket, styled with the help of hair/makeup artist, Gemma Sheree. Our idea with to add a spanish, flamenco-esque twist to the pinup format inspired a little by the passing of iberian movie siren Sara Montiel, who died on the same day as Margaret […]

Halloween and Christmas with Voodoo Queen Tuesday Laveau

Due to a flurry of commercial and PR freelance shoots in recent weeks there hasn’t been much time for blogging but while archiving some images I thought a couple of a local burlesque star should be brought to your attention. I’ve worked with burlesque and gogo performer Tuesday Lavaeu on numerous occasions over the past […]
