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 […]

Food photography to make you hungry

Although most of my work mean taking pictures of people some my first professional photography involved product work. Food is one of the trickiest ‘products’ to take, as there are various challenges, but it;s satisfying when you created a genuinely mouthwatering image. I tend to favour using natural window light and sometimes reflectors for food […]

Scientist to Siren: Vintage Makeover photography at The Watermill Studio

At its simplest, a professional portrait shoot offers a client a collection of beautifully-rendered images to enjoy for years to come… but it’s possible to go even further. Locally, I’m well known on the burlesque and cabaret scene, which often attracts lovers of all things vintage from the golden age of Hollywood onwards. I’ve recently […]
