Go wild at the Burlesque Boudoir!
It’s time I shared with you some of the wilder people I have been working with lately! After shooting a burlesque show for new club POP in Southampton I was inspired to put together a Burlesque Boudoir portrait package. To try the idea out for size a group of great friends volunteered to model, I…

In search of the grey mare
With such lovely autumnal sunshine I headed out to the New Forest this week with the intention of trying to capture some sunset landscapes and grey mares to photograph. White horses have a deep connection to the south of England their images carved in chalk on hilltops but it was Epona’s mare I sought. After…

Eden Ahoy!
Two of my favourite things plus a night away with my better half was always going to bode well. Dreadzone at eden project in Cornwall on October 1st was like having your favourite pudding and your favourite meal delivered by hand.

An Ode to Moths
I’m a bit nuts about moths. It was the dead greater tiger moth that I found under the rose bush when I was three that did it. I carried it into the house and nestled it’s furry body into a matchbox, occasionally opening it to marvel at the delicate powdery wings and stroke a little…

Being the proud owner of a rather lovely new Nikon D5000 I have been getting out and about as much as possible this summer exploring conservation areas for butterflies, wild orchids and as ever, inspiration.

From Orchids to Eden
My new love of nature photography began to take me on a curious path. Walking through a blue bell wood on a hunt for a hill that my partner had been able to see from his inner city apartment I found what I thought might be a spring orchid. This gorgeously happy yellow flower with…

The Secret of Crocus
Back at the tail end of a long dark winter I picked up my partners Pentax Optio. In my pyjamas I crept out into the dark morning, like a bear slumbering out of its’ cave after the rain, and was absorbed by colour and light. Last summer I had bought a jumbo bag of spring…
