    People and Portraits

    Love shooting people and portraits – street photography and candid shots – it’s important for me to try and capture the personality and charm of my subject. Contact me regarding commissions.

A Visit to Stonehenge 2019

Life as a light chaser

Hello, welcome and thanks for stopping by.

 

July 2019

One word:  HOT

Two words:  MOVED HOUSE

Yes during the record breaking heatwave of 2019 in the UK, I decided to move house. There was no respite from the soaring temperatures despite swimming in a sea of cardboard boxes for weeks!

Luckily I did make it into Bournemouth for the fabulous Bourne Free Pride event.  One of my favourite events in the calendar.  Always a happy, friendly, colourful and feel good weekend.  Thank you to everyone who were happy for me to shoot you, it was a real pleasure!

JUNE 2019

Ah June – weddings and winners.  Loved taking photographs for a family wedding this month.  Especially love the candid informal shots.  And was thrilled to see one of them was chosen by the Royal Photographic Society as one of their bi-monthly Documentary competition winners!

MAY 2019

I hope the force was with you on May the 4th and you had a happy Cinco de Mayo!  Isn’t May amazing? And it’s officially Spring too!!

Released this month is Big Big Trains latest album ‘Grand Tour’. Below is one of my images of lead singer David Longdon.  Nice to see him smile, he’s such a lovely chap.  Anyhow they are a fabulous band live so if you can, catch them on their tour this year in the UK.

APRIL 2019

Had a fantastic visit to Immaculate Chaos, Tattoo Studio in Bournemouth this month.  Got to watch Mara and Leon at work – it still amazes me what stunning artwork tattoo artists can create with some needles and some ink! Can’t wait to add to MY collection :)

I love photographing people at work, it’s a great way to capture images, portraits even, of individuals in their ‘bubble’ of concentration and taking pride in what they do. Because the subject is concentrating on something else and not my camera I think it makes more of an authentic shot.

One of my images from the day, of Leon, was one of three picked out by the Royal Photographic Society bi-monthly Documentary Competition. Check out the image below to find out more!

This month saw a welcome return visit to Pause Cat Cafe in Bournemouth.  Always lovely to see Jaya, Chloe and team.  If  you love moggies then I’d recommend catching up with the cats at Pause.

january 2019

Well January you certainly didn’t disappoint (although the New Forest is still waiting for some REAL snow).

Just the most amazing show by the multi-talented Francis Dunnery at Bush Hall, London – the last date on his ‘Big Lad in the Windmill Tour’. See my ‘Shooting Live Music Performance’ section for a taster.

Shooting Quint Starkie was fun – www.quintstarkie.net, and I look forward to doing it again!

Capturing the jaw dropping performance of guitarists Luke Machin and Guthrie Govan on stage was a real treat for me.  Lucky to grab some great shots too!

March 2019

Always fun to report I have achieved another goal with my photography.  Since January 2018 I set myself the goal of gaining a distinction from The Royal Photographic Society.  And here we are in March celebrating the fact that I am now Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society!  It certainly was very stressful and not at all easy but then that’s what makes it worth the effort.  And where do I go from here?  Well the next step up is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, so maybe next year …

FEBRUARY 2019

Wonderful to get out outdoors and go birdwatching at Hengistbury Head.  I managed to see four herons in the distance as well as plenty of seagulls and ducks.  Bit disappointed to be honest.  However when I got home I caught this bird on the fence in my garden that I thought looked a bit like a penguin.
