As the end of August approached yet another opportunity arose that was impossible to turn down. Yohoi, a Chinese model who'd been living in England for a couple of years got in touch to tell me she was visiting Devon for the first time and staying in Exeter for a few days. As I mentioned … Continue reading Yohoi

Savannah Came To Visit
At this point in the summer of 2022 I'd gone from almost no backlog of photos to work through, to suddenly an awful lot following the Thailand trip and shoots with Fernie, Sara and latterly Ava. I now had enough editing to keep me busy for some time and I really didn't need to take … Continue reading Savannah Came To Visit
Bristol With Ava Grey
2022 was a great year for holiday. Having accrued a lot of leave in the bank during the previous couple of Covid affected years, 2022 was the year I had to use it, or lose it. And so in early July, only a month after I'd gotten back from Thailand I found myself with another week free … Continue reading Bristol With Ava Grey
A Pattaya Reconnection
Wow, it's been ages since I last sat down to write on here! For those of you who do like to check in, my apologies it's been so long. The past few months has been truly hectic at work, plus throw in a couple of weeks in November back in Thailand (again!) and I barely … Continue reading A Pattaya Reconnection
Bangkok With Fernie Warisa
The final shoot of my last visit to Thailand in 2019 was with Fernie Warisa and so it seemed fitting that on my return in a world post lockdown and travel restrictions that I should shoot with her first. I'd say it was poetic or fate, but actually I've only just realised that's the case … Continue reading Bangkok With Fernie Warisa
Ava Grey & The Hotel Room
Not long had passed since the trip to London, but with a bit more time off work (I was using up all the accrued time over-hanging from Covid!) Ava and I got chatting about having a second shoot. We'd both had so much fun on the first that we were anxious for another. With it … Continue reading Ava Grey & The Hotel Room
Sim City
I thought I'd squeeze one last blog entry in before the year's end, so firstly I hope that you all had a very merry Christmas and I wish you all a happy 2023 ahead! September 2021 came about and once again I received an invite to photograph Fashion's Finest at London Fashion Week. I knew … Continue reading Sim City
Savannah Sapphire
The next shoot of 2021 was something of an opportunist one. I'd been admiring Savannah's work for a long time, but as she was based in London and highly in demand it was always going to be hard to arrange something that would coincide both with free time on my park and a free slot … Continue reading Savannah Sapphire
Ava Grey
I'm not sure I can remember now how I first found Ava on Instagram. I think perhaps she'd shot locally, or with someone else I follow and I'd somehow stumbled across her photos. I was immediately taken in by her clear and raw passion for creating content and at the time she was posting regularly. … Continue reading Ava Grey
Golden Light at The Warren
After that flurry of shoots at the tail end of 2020 we went back into lockdown for a while and the camera didn't leave the bag again for several months. In fact, it took right until May and a few messages from my friend Hannah to drag me back out once again. Hannah used to … Continue reading Golden Light at The Warren
