Photoshoot with Beth

At Oi Va Voi’s recent gig at the Cambridge Junction, I noticed someone at the front of the audience (well, I couldn’t help but notice her, I kept passing her as I moved around taking photos of the band). I was taken by her striking figure (slim and 5′ 11”), English Rose looks, all juxtaposed with her large, but elegant, shoulder tattoo. We spoke afterwards, arranged a photoshoot, and here are the results. While it was only her first shoot, some of the shots came out really well, and I’m proud to add them to my portfolio.

I’m always looking for models to create more artistic figure studies, so if you’re interested, get in touch.

Photoshoot with Vesna & Paul

Paul and Vesna are without a doubt Cambridge University’s most successful ballroom & latin dancers. Having seen the results of my recent photoshoot with Samantha, one of their Dancesport friends, Paul commissioned a photoshoot for Vesna. The gardens, backs, and bridges of St. John’s are still my favourite location for photoshoots, and both Paul and Vesna were very photogenic. Expect another photoshoot with them soon…

Alex's Wedding Preparations

I was invited to photograph Alex and André’s wedding in Devon, and they and the whole family were most welcoming and helpful. The room used for the bride’s preparations was bright and cleanly-decorated, the ideal location for natural photos.

Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme – Headshots

I was commissioned to take new headshots for the team at the Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme. The director was keen to get some photos at the front of the Divinity School, as the entrance doors are decorated with writings in various faiths’ scripts.

Portraits of Stockholm

After my travels through the forests and lakes in Sweden, I found myself in Stockholm with no cash and a few hours to kill. Having already visited Stockholm the previous year, I didn’t feel I need to do any rushed sight-seeing, and knew my way around a bit. After an hour of walking around, it struck me how strongly so many people have similar facial features – the “Scandinavian Look” that Sweden is famed for. So I set myself a challenge, to take street portraits of several young people that, combined, would exhibit the Swedish look. Here are 6 of my favourites:

Swedish-Girls

One girl in particular caught my eye, not only because of her skateboard, but also her piercing blue eyes and striking red hair. In a nation full of blondes, that definitely stands out.
