SJ- Sarah

Who Am I?

I'm Sarah but also known as SJ. I'm a photographer who's specialized in equine, canine and countryside photography since I was a teen. Equine photography and being a horse owner has always been my main love and with the advantage of having animals and children I've been able to have the camera out a lot, and capture lots of memories but also to be able to show the children that live is beautiful around animals and they can teach you so much also.

I live in the rural part of Rochford, Essex where there are lots of opportunities to grab some beautiful natural shots with some amazing backdrops right on my doorstep.

What is my style of photography?

I like to shoot in natural lighting away from a studio or somewhere that has lots of natural lighting to give a photo the more natural look. I'm someone who likes to look at something and think will that make the image I'm looking to achieve. It could be something simple with the lighting to the environment I'm in, or out on a walk with my dog and boom there's an image there that has to be taken whether it's with my camera or my phone.

I shoot with a Canon and I have 2 main lens that I use, my 75mm-300mm lens and my 18mm-55mm lens. 

I like to grab the contrast of depth and also what is going on in the background, where it's loud and colorful or backdrops in a studio or in a homely location.

What can I offer?

I can offer you fun and creative photography, lots of laughs and if you lack in self belief and confidence that is absolutely fine because we can work with the levels you are comfortable with.

Being a female I don't believe in being pushy and testing boundaries because that's not what I am about. I'm about boosting your confidence, making you feel alive and ensuring you have the best experience when working with me possible to build a relationship.

However, When I work with people I do like to maintain a form of dignity and respect and if you ask me to photograph you nude unfortunately unless discussed prior to the shoot I won't photograph open legged shots and also with men please keep the snakes in the cage or covered. I have a family at home and where my computer is situated images can be seen and its not fair on my children or my partner.  Other than that we can work up-to levels you are happy and comfortable with.

We can work anywhere you wish...... within reason of course. Studio, location or even at home, its what you are comfortable with and where you feel most safe.

Throughout the shoot I'll be sure to show you the images as we go, let you decide if you're happy with them or whether you want to try and different angle, position, look etc.
