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.

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 […]

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.
