Sunbeams and Sheep 🐑☀️ Couldn’t decide on the crop, close or wide - what do you think? Also did a cheeky before and after preview of the edit. I use #snapseed for all of my editing and love it! There is some fringing and pixelation but I’m never mad about this when uploading onto #instagram. If I was to print I would switch over to @photoshop 🤘🏻 #sheep #surrey #countryside #goldenhour https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8XMw4r2_jS7O5KisIxjPhrorzwNUXLvB89EM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I really enjoy capturing family portraits - especially their crazy quirks.

The last in the "Super Theo" series... alot of editing went into this image.

I'll upload the before shot shortly to show you the transformation.

I had the great privilege of photographing my wonderful friends wedding this weekend. It was a day filled with so much laughter and celebration. It was such a joy to capture. Here's some sneak peeks from their big day.

Working Progress...

Surprisingly! A very easy technique of seperating the RGB channels and editing together to create this Retro 3D effect. I liked playing around with this technique for my super hero photos of Theo. I may make some tweeks in the future but for now I like it!

I've always enjoyed photographing black dogs on a black background. Clients with black dogs always say they can never get a good photo as they look like "a black blob", so I love it when I get to capture them images like this.

Meet Willow! A beautiful (and somewhat energetic) cockerpoo who was a great model.

With a pinch of gel lighting, a super hero costume and a sprinkle of imagination... Voila!

It’s always great to have my nephew on hand for fun shoots like this. A great way to test out and improve my gel lighting.

It was great to see such a lovely review from a client I had photographed. 

When booking in for their session I found out that Faye and her husband were disabled and wouldn’t be able to access the upstairs studio due to their wheelchairs. I overcame this problem by creating a make-shift studio in our downstairs viewing room using a pop up backdrop we have and using our portable studio lighting. Despite the challenges with having a limited “shooting” space and having to creatively pose a family where two members were in wheelchairs, and the other was an energetic toddler, I was thrilled with the results!

They were truly inspiring and felt very privileged to capture photos they will cherish forever.

Since 2016 I’ve been volunteering for a non- profitable magazine called Clarity Magazine.  

 “Clarity is aimed at female students and twenties who want to deepen, explore or initiate a trust in God. We cover sex, relationships, beauty, health, world, career and more. Our grace-filled features discuss the nitty-gritty, the light and bright, the seasons of trial, and the promised future. Every issue of Clarity will promote fulfilment in a life completely covered by Christ. For non-Christians, it will offer a new perspective designed to be captivating. The magazine hopes to build a strong community of women who wake up excited to live out the day, confident in their abilities, identity and dreams. And we're not afraid to discuss the taboo either...”

From the early baby steps of Clarity building its brand and collecting its first content to now publishing our 9th quarterly issue, it’s been a privilege to be involved with a publication that I endorse their vision wholly. It’s been great to work alongside other passionate volunteers under the brilliant leadership of Taylor (Founder & Lead Editor), and spread the word of Clarity. 

Alongside getting to promote the magazine at local and national church events, I’ve really enjoyed using my skills as a photographer to capture stock images to go alongside the great features and having the opportunity to photograph/model for Winter 2017 (Issue 5) cover (shown in the image above).
