Our next twilight market is on Saturday 27th June.
We would love to have some new stalls to join us! Only £25 to stand! Please email me on [email protected]
It is an outdoor market, so you will have to have a gazebo or stall, along with weights and the appropriate insurance.
If you’re not a trader, then come along from 5-9pm. We have some lovely stalls for you to browse and buy from, some entertainers booked and some lovely food stalls for you to fill your bellies from! Come and enjoy the evening 😁👍

I visited Emma last week for the first of four brand shoots we’ve got planned together this year. She told me she was nervous at first, but I had a feeling that somewhere between the coffees, the chats and being in her own space, the camera would slowly disappear.
And that was exactly the point of this shoot.
Before the beautiful headboards, lampshades and product photos, we wanted to start with her. The person behind it all. Her home, her hands, her way of living and creating. Because that’s the part people truly connect with.
We spent the day talking about her work, why she never makes the same piece twice, and her background in food science which somehow flows naturally into everything she creates. (I’m still encouraging her to share more of that side of herself because it’s fascinating.)
At some point she made us the most incredible lunch, with fresh baked bread cooling in the kitchen like something out of a film. And honestly, that’s what I love about shoots like this. Nothing forced. Nothing overly polished. Just real moments in the spaces people actually live and create in.
Already excited for the next three shoots together.

“I don’t make people look unique, I photograph people who already are” Me.

I visited last week for a brand photoshoot, the first of four shoots we’ve got booked together over the year. She told me she was a bit nervous but I knew that in between coffees and lovely conversations, shell son well feel at ease and the camera will be less visible to her.
We made a deliberate choice with this one. Before the headboards, the lampshades, the polished product shots, we’d start with her. Her home, her hands, her life. The bit most makers leave out and what we had identify as the most important step forward. Tell the world about this wonderful woman.
We chatted all day. About why she never makes the same thing twice. About the food-science background that quietly underpins everything she does (something I keep nudging her to put out there more). And then she made us a delicious lunch. Fresh-baked bread and all. Because of course she did.
There’s a kind of ease you only get from photographing someone in their own kitchen, with their own bread cooling on the side. You can’t manufacture that. You just have to be there for it.
Three more shoots to come, Emma. Already looking forward to them

“Choose a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”
…nah
I worked hard today. Long day, lots of energy, lots of focus.
But I also loved it.
Came home tired, but happy. Already thinking about the next shoot.
So maybe it’s not about avoiding work…
it’s about enjoying it enough that it feels worth it.

Thank you for choosing my art and trusting me. You did brilliant today and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you aswell for a delicious lunch and my travel coffee. You really spoiled me.

So happy to know that we have more shoots coming.

“They’ve brought a new level of professionalism and credibility to our social media presence.”
Lauren,
She wrote this to me a year after our shoot:
“Thank you for the incredible job you did on our photo shoot last year. The photos have already made a real difference for us. They’ve brought a new level of professionalism and credibility to our social media presence, and I feel much more confident including them when responding to direct enquiries. They’ve also significantly enhanced how we present ourselves on booking platforms like Pitch Up and Airbnb. I also feel there’s still so much potential to make even more of the images, particularly in developing our website further and building a stronger presence on Instagram.”
Twelve months on. Still working. Still finding new ways to use the imagery.

That’s what I’m selling. Not a beautiful gallery but a working asset that compounds.

If your work deserves better than the photos currently representing it, send me a pm.

I don’t make people look unique. I photograph people who already are.

I could’ve used a tripod and a remote trigger.
Instead, my 13-year-old daughter Sophie took these photos.
The framing would’ve been fine. The light, technically correct. But the photo wouldn’t have looked like this. Because I wouldn’t have looked like this.
I chose the angles. I picked the light. I scouted the location. I showed her how to frame, what I wanted, the story I had in mind. We took some out of focus. Some with awkward framing. We retook those.
But the expressions? The expressions are real.
Because she pressed the trigger at the exact right moment. Because she told me to stop laughing so much so of course I laughed more. Because she told me I looked beautiful. Because she told me some of my poses were embarrassing and I laughed again, naturally.
That’s the thing no tripod can give you: the decisive moment.
Cartier-Bresson called it exactly that the decisive moment. That split second when geometry, expression, and truth all align. You can’t manufacture it. You can only recognize it. And you can only recognize it if you’re actually there.
Barthes called it something else the punctum. The small, unrepeatable detail in a photograph that pierces the viewer. The laugh lines. The hand mid-gesture. The way someone looks at you when they’ve known you their entire life.
My daughter has known me her entire life. Of course the photos came out like this.
That’s why I only take a few clients a month.
Because I need time to know you. To understand your vision. Your story. To help you notice the details you never thought about. To fall in love with your brand and if you need me to, remind you that you love what you do.
Anyone can take a photo. Not everyone can take the photo.
