Portraits

Every picture of people that I take is different, even if it’s of the same person. That’s because it tells the story of that person in that moment.

I take the time to listen and to understand so that I’m able to make such portraits because all people will see is the finished picture.

For posed pictures you get the most natural photographs of people when they’re relaxed. It’s first and foremost about communication. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera and I understand that. It’s why I prefer to meet beforehand. It’s free and without obligation and you can tell me what kind of photographs you’d like, for example whether posed, candid or both. We’ll talk about who’s involved, locations, backgrounds, clothing, props and lighting amongst other things.  This helps the photoshoot go smoothly because we’ll have a plan.

I’m happy to photograph wherever you like. I have a portable studio which I can bring to you or we can go on location.

It’s similar with portraits of pets (although we probably won’t be discussing the clothing as much). But again we’ll talk about your requirements and come up with a plan for the photoshoot.

Thoughtful portraits, whether of people or pets or both, are an incredibly meaningful way of recording, remembering and appreciating those special moments both for those people involved, their loved ones and indeed for future generations.  Each portrait is a unique piece of social history.

Prices start from £100 which includes a complimentary print. If you’d like to arrange a portrait session please get in touch
