Working with sustainable businesses 🌿

It can be difficult and expensive to run a business while being as environmentally friendly as possible, but it is important that we do what we can. I'm talking about the simple, everyday things like reducing our use of single use plastics, using recycled paper and recycling your waste. Turning off lights and plug sockets when they aren't in use, using energy saving bulbs, giving that little extra thought as to what you can do to help, acting on it and encouraging others t

Beauty Shoot

A look at a recent beauty shoot with Devon based make up artist Kasia Werblanska and model Katherine. We shot two different looks using a home studio setup. The first, a soft pink and the second a much bolder, metallic purple. We also shot a little behind the scenes video - If you would like to see more behind the scenes of my photoshoots, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel #fashion #makeover #makeup #model #commercial #purple #pink #KasiaWerblanska #studio #Devo

Headshots with Joshua

I've worked with Joshua a couple of times now - we met on a commercial shoot in St Ives last year. You can se the blog post here: Fourth Element I recently had the pleasure of working with Joshua again to produce new headshots for his modelling portfolio. He wanted bright and crisp images, so that is exactly what we did and here they are...

The House Made from Glass

Take me somewhere urban to shoot and what do I do...find foliage! It was a very grey and overcast day and we were worried that the rain was going to force us to cancel but we managed to find somewhere to shoot and with a quick phone call, we had permission to shoot in an absolutely stunning location.

Grow Magazine

Remember that photoshoot I did not so long ago with the beautiful Julie? Well, she was interviewed for her business by Grow Magazine Exeter and lots of my photos were featured, including the front cover! Julie owns a photography studio in Exeter called Kensa Boudoir where Julie and her all female team offer makeover boudoir shoots to help boost people's confidence and self-esteem. #magazine #publication #press #feature #Exeter #ExeterPhotographer #DevonPhotographer #lifestyle

Sequins, Sand and Sunsets

This is Julie, a good friend and a fellow photographer who needed some fresh portraits taken. As photographers, we generally prefer to be behind the lens, but Julie warmed to the camera in no time and we got some fantastic shots. We themed the shoot with a hint of Hollywood starlet and she looked fantastic! #photography #portrait #portraiture #photoshoot #beach #glam #commercial #DevonPhotographer #SouthWestPhotographer #makeover #styledshoot

Fourth Element

I'm always on the lookout for environmentally friendly and sustainable brands to work with, so when Fourth Element asked me to photograph their new clothing range, I was really excited. Fourth Element is an international company with a head office in Cornwall, specialising in dive and adventure clothing. Their Ocean Positive range is all made from a nylon barn created from recycled ghost nets and other discarded products. We shot on location in St Ives and on the south Cornis

Wisteria Dreams

This has got to be one of my favourite shoots of the year, and its only May! I love wisteria - the beautiful lilac tones and the delicate clusters of flowers. Throw in a beautiful golden sunset and that really is a dream photoshoot location! My model for this shoot was the beautiful Candice. A personal trainer from Exeter. We had chatted about the location, time of day and styling for the shoot beforehand so that we had a good plan. The shoot was quite short as we were workin

Singer/Songwriter KYI

I have worked with KYI on a few occasions now - we find that we work really well together and understand what each other is trying to achieve, which makes thins so easy from the off. KYI is not only a singer, songwriter, vocal coach and model in her own right, she is also currently one of the judges on a new singing show 'All Together Now', which can be seen on BBC 1, Saturdays at 7.15pm KYI was looking for some fresh images to promote her work in the series and update her po

An Alternative Afternoon

It pretty fair to say that my clients don't normally include Alternative models, not because I don't want to work with them, but just perhaps my style of photography is very soft, feminine as well as quite light and airy, not immediately fitting with the Alt scene. When the opportunity presented itself to work with the beautiful Nina, I wasn't going to say no. I think its really important as a photographer, to put yourself in different situations and challenge yourself - its

Beauty Shoot: Aurum - Behind The Scenes Video

I had a little time to experiment on this shoot, so I made a little behind the scenes video to give you a little more insight as to what goes into a shoot like this. So here it is, my first behind the scenes video, shot by myself. I hope you enjoy! For best quality, watch full screen and turn on HD!

Chloe / Location Shoot

Keeping things simple on a shoot can make a huge difference. My shoot with Chloe was exactly that, we planned some basic wardrobe and met on the beach to shoot amongst the dunes for a clean, simple look. It was late afternoon and the wind had picked up, but despite wearing only a bikini and a jumper for most of it, Chloe was an absolute star. #model #portrait #portraiture #dress #fashion #bikini #knit #Cornwall #ewquay #commercial #editorial
