Shaun Ashford Photography

Hi, I'm Shaun, a Cardiff based photographer that started out during 2012. 

Background

In 2012, I started my photography life as an Urban Explorer. Often appearing within the Local and National News, I have photographed hundreds of abandoned buildings throughout the UK.

In 2018, I then began working as a photojournalist, providing breaking news photographs to the National and World media.

In 2019, I knew it was time to take the plunge and begin photographing real people so here I am!

Experience & About Me

As a photographer, I have 7 years worth of experience. In terms of shooting models, this is a new thing for me within a staged environment. 

I am 29 years of age and have a 6 children. I have been self employed since I was 16 and pride myself on delivering a professional service, no matter what the task is. 

Sessions

For outdoor shoots, I love to just let my client take a walk around as I fire off some test shots. I generally find this is a good way of breaking the ice. After that, I'm happy to either give directions or take them - sometimes the client has a picture that they really want to make reality.

For indoor shoots, I always encourage my clients to get comfortable before the shoot begins. This sometimes has included letting the client take photographs of me, selfies or just jumping in the deep end for nude sessions. 

Sessions aren't timed - I believe that it's far more important to deliver the images that my client wants than setting a time limit. 

Payment -V- TFP

I'm more than happy to offer TFP sessions and I am keen to hear from you if you have an interesting shoot in mind.

My rates for charged sessions are very reasonable so please get in touch!

I am available at short notice across the UK. Sessions can take place either within your home / studio, within my studio or for smaller shoots my home or outdoors. Transport can be provided if required so please let me know.

Booking
