As a photographer, I'm always on the look out for interesting locations and themes that can spark my creativity. Last time I photographed with Claire we'd been chatting about how she would love to do something with an industrial theme. Some time had passed before I received an email with the opportunity to photograph [...]
As an 'outdoorsy' person, generally speaking I would much rather photograph sessions out on location then in a studio setup. However, throughout the winter months when the weather is bleak and the days short, I often receive emails from families who would prefer to book a studio based session. Because of this, during the February [...]
It has been a little while since I last worked with Liam. He's an incredible male model based locally in Mansfield. After some chatting, for this session we decided to head to Skegness to capture some seaside images for his portfolio. There's so much variety on the coastline, from the structure of the pier, [...]
Regular blog readers may remember that not so long ago I worked with the incredible Chloe Adkin. Soon after, Olorun (one of Chloe's friends) got in touch to say that he was interested in getting involved with the modelling industry and would like to shoot some portfolio images. After discussion, we decided to split [...]

Alongside my day to day work as a portrait and wedding photographer, wherever possible I like to try and take part in a number of competitions and projects throughout the year either as part of the Guild of Photographers, or as set by my mentor. One of my most recent projects was surrounding the 'Flaws [...]
Recently, one of the local kids football teams - the Blidworth Warriors' - held a fundraising event hoping to raise sufficient funds to help with buying trophies for their talented young players. The club got in touch to ask if there was anything I would be willing to donate to the cause and I [...]
Those of you who have followed this blog for some time may remember the male project that I shot with Jamie Harby last year. I was thrilled recently when Jamie approached me to see whether i'd be interested in shooting some new t-shirts with him. These particular shirts were from the upcoming American clothing [...]
I first worked with Melissa last year, as part of a training day with Crash Taylor. She's an incredible model based in Belper. This session was part of a meet-up with some of my awesome photography friends. We headed into the city centre and grabbed some coffee whilst we discussed ideas for the day. We [...]
