Portraits by Gus

I tend to keep my Instagram and Website more up to date than PurplePort. Please feel free to take a look at some of my recent work and please don't hesitate to get in touch with anyone I have worked with for a reference (either on PP or Insta).

A bit about me:

I am a part-time portrait photographer now based in New Milton, Hampshire (having moved from Surrey/London).

I have been focussing on my creative portrait photography since 2019 and I am always actively seeking to expand my portfolio, whether with new ideas or new faces. Until 2022 my shoots were primarily location based, but I have been working on my studio portfolio and am keen to make this my primary focus going forward. (I am still happy working on location though)

I am currently working out of 2 main studios:

The Old Bakery Photographic Studio in Poole, Dorset

ShutterWorks Studio in Southampton, Hampshire

That said, I am happy to travel for shoots and will shoot on location.

 

My aim is to work collaboratively and get shots that all those involved will be happy with. You'll find me to be patient, methodical and funny (even if I do say so myself).

I use a combination of natural light and strobes in my work (indoors and out).

I also like a pop of colour and gravitate towards warm tones in my images. I do love black and white images too and will typically provide black and white conversions alongside any colour images.

I'm open to working with models of all levels and have no problems with chaperones (Not only is model safety very important to me, but the more comfortable we both are the better the images will be.) My only rule is that they do not interrupt the flow of the shoot.

Happy to answer any questions you have.

I look forward to working with you.
