Hello!

Thanks for reading my notes. I am a semi-professional photographer based in Exeter, who works all over the southwest but have travelled across the country to shoot weddings.

I have been messing about with with a camera ever since I can remember, and it was always just a fun hobby, until I stepped to help a friend's wedding back in 2012.

Ever since then, I've been taking photography a lot more seriously, steadily building a portfolio of wedding and event photographs.

I am a very laid back person, so my style is quite simple, natural and journalistic. Preferring to work in natural surroundings, both inside and out, but am happy to work in a studio.

Although I continue to be a wedding and event photographer, I would like to expand into trying more areas, so I have recently been attending some more studio shoots and would love to work with more people.

Because I am quite new to this kind of work, I am mostly looking for collaborative work, and I am happy working with new or experienced models. Although I like someone who is willing and able to offer their own ideas to the shoot. I will occasionally pay for particular shoots, but virtually all of the money I earn from my weddings goes back in to my equipment, so I don't often have the funds to do everything I would like. 

I can say that I am always professional and will treat the models I shoot with the highest respect and try to make our photo shoot as enjoyable and fun as possible. I've had lots of great feed back from the people I have worked with so far.

I do not really have a particular style as I am still discovering what suits me best. If there is something you particularly like or want to try, I would be happy to work with you.

I am happy to work with male, female and transgendered models of all shapes and sizes. I don't have a problem with chaperones and I may even put them to good use, to help us out during the shoot.

Unfortunately I do have a day job, so generally wouldn't be able to make weekdays, and apart from the occasional wedding, most weekends and bank holidays would be good for me. on location

Living in Devon; there is an endless list of locations that are great for photography, so I love to work out doors on location, so if there is somewhere you'd like to try, just let me know and I'm sure we can work something out.

If you've got any other questions, please just ask!
