It’s a wrap!
…. Well, not quite 😉

It’s been a busy year and working as the still photographer on Channel 4's Summerwater was a definite highlight.
What’s also huge is the increase in everyday expenses. Am I right? Normally this is the point where businesses pass on the increased overheads and urge you to book your photography sessions now before prices go up.
But I’m a rebel so I’m doing the opposite. I have added new reduced headshot sessions rates for students and under 18s.

However, I do like a good bargain; so I’ve set up some 🌟🎄 Magic Christmas Vouchers 🎄🌟
available to use on all of my headshot and portrait sessions.

Combined with my top tier Magic Christmas Voucher you can book the big studio session for your emerging artist for only £125 (used to be £300).

This has been sitting in my “to post” folder for way too long.

A first look image of
“Alina & Marijonas” on Summerwater
Portrayed by the wonderful .prochniak and amazing

Back in November the wonderful and award winning producer Jules Hussey ( ) asked me to join the set of Summerwater for 2 days as a photographic advisor and to shoot images on behalf of photographer “Alina”.

Of course I couldn’t help but shoot a few stills while I was already there. 😉
This is one of the images I took and it went down a treat.
Long story short: With Jules advocating for me & Channel 4 willing to take on a photographer not on their list yet, I ended up returning to set as official Unit Still Photographer. 📷 Thank you for the opportunity and trust. 🙏🏻
