I love animals and so I love to photograph them. I try to capture their individual personalities to create really interesting photography.

During the summer Marina and Mark, Molly’s parents, requested baby portrait photography. Molly is a beautiful baby with large dark brown eyes. Here is the baby and family portraits I created.

Although I shoot all types of portraiture my favourite kind is lifestyle or environmental portrait photography. Capturing people in their own natural environment, I think, adds to the narative of the photograph and also cuts out much of the awkwardness that can result with a formally posed image in a studio. Lifestyle photography is invariably very relaxed and produces lovely natural photographs. I feel these photographs have really captured the ambince of a bright summers day.

Driving Helena

I have picked this photograph to display because I love Helena’s facial exxpression. It looks like she’s about to floor the accelerator to get me.

Brmmm brmmm!

There is such beautiful light in the summer, although full sunshine can be a photographers nightmare. It generally gives lots of harsh shadows, panda eyes and trouble with exposures. If utilised correctly the harsh sunlight can proviide fantastic rim lighting and hair highlights.
