I was lucky enough to work with Andrea last week who is a local Actor. There were some new studio set ideas I wanted to try as, even after all these years, I still always want to change my set ups and try to achieve different looks. I am very pleased how these have come out and wanted to share here first before I put them up on social media.

Thanks for reading and onto the photos …
We had a great shoot this Monday and we have so many images from this set. I am sure Lianna wont mind me saying that she was quite nervous at the start but soon relaxed into the shoot. Maybe it was my awful Techno music at the start – it was soon swapped with some Jimi Hendrix. I’m always flexible on the music !
Thanks to Sophie, who I have shot with quite a few times now, for reccommending me as a photographer. I think that is always the best way to be introduced and I do love working with new people.
I had a great shoot yesterday with a Halloween theme. I have shot with Sophie (https://www.instagram.com/_sophiejarvis/) a number of times and for this shoot we teamed up with Lucie https://www.instagram.com/lucieartistry/ website:http://www.lucieartistry.co.uk/
I am sure I will be sharing more from these on my social media platforms soon. I hope you have a spooky halloween !!
As you may have seen I am taking a bit of a break from shoots but I went along to a recent event organised by Block Art which had a spring theme. We started in Westgate gardens and here is one of the shots I took there.
The sun was setting behind so we had some beautiful light. For those that like the technical info this was f3.6 at 1/1100 on a Fuji X100t with a £10 conversion lens from eBay on the front.
Their Facebook page if you are interested or want to get involved is https://www.facebook.com/BlockArtMedia
More photos from this set are to follow soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions then please contact me.
Well I have been quiet in the last few months and continue to take a break for the moment. This is do to the arrival of our son Jack !
He is my priority and I absolutely love spending all the time I can with him. I will be back shooting again in the future so if you are interested then by all means get in touch. It is likely to be more into the summer when I start new projects.
In the meantime here is one if Jack !
Had a great shoot recently with Block Art  (Block Art: Themed Photography Evenings) which is a local camera club that do themed Photography Evenings.
The theme this time was Film Noir and there will be a collection of different images from other photographers to tell the story. I am really looking forward to seeing all the different interpretations and will add a link to the Facebook album here when it is ready
Thanks again to Peter Sladen for organising and models Alex Vellis and Hrista Karapeneva
Here are some of mine from the evening !

Here’s a sneak preview from my recent shoot with Petra in Canterbury. It was a night shoot trying to make use of the street lights and shop windows. The cold was another challenge so thanks again to Petra for being brave!
More images to follow soon
Well I plan to add more posts to this blog and so hopefully you will learn more about me and what I do. I cannot share much yet from my most recent shoot but they are nearly all edited and ready to give to the lovely newly married couple.
I love to include details from the day as well as all the images of all the fun and excitement
Here for example a little vintage desktop calendar which was in the room for the Groom Preparation. I just thought it was lovely and a great way to show the date of a wedding in an album. I supply images in colour and black and white so the Bride and Groom ac decide which ones they like best for an album. A mix of the two works extremely well.
I hope to add another update soon with some images from their wedding at the Winters Barn just outside Canterbury.
Let me know what you think as I always love to hear from people !
Fantastic day on Saturday for the wedding of Chris and Sarah. I was attending as a guest for this wedding and so didn’t have my camera out much at all. A really great day.
Had a great second shoot with Bex today. Planned an autumnal theme and shot in Mote Park in Maidstone. It is not somewhere I have been before but must have passed it a thousand times. A really lovely location so close to central Maidstone.
We shot in various places around the park and this was one that really stood out for me. i have always preferred portraits with flash in the past (which those that have worked with me will know) and I am keen to improve my skills with natural light. I am really pleased with the lighting on the shot below. No flash, no reflector just natural light.
I have a backlog of albums to go up on here but if you want to see more regular updates then please follow me on Instagram
