  • Well… her we go.. learning how to navigate and upload images… thought to try out with a few images shot for “The Bubbly Bar” @ The Village Stables Market. Have to admit I had to drink each set up to ensure the champagne was fresh and full of bubbles.. The shoot did get a lot more complicated as time went on … oops.

    Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it. I am not interested in shooting new things - I am interested to see things new.

  • Romantic poses are a key signature in the work I deliver to my clients. Hands are one of the most powerful tools we can use as photographers to direct a viewer’s attention. When our subjects touch each other delicately it gives the viewer a deeper sense of closeness. Top tip: The higher up a touch is the more intimate the pose.

  • Hi there
    I’m wondering if someone could please guide me wrt pricing a matric dance shoot however it’s not an individual, it’s for all the matriculants at the event. I’ve never done something like this before so I’d appreciate a little guidance please. I’m still quite reasonable with my individual charging so don’t want to be too pricey 🙏🏼

    • Are you the official photographer for the event or will you be hired separately by a group of matriculants? If you are the photographer for the event, a good idea is to find out how much the previous photographer charged and also if the results were satisfactory and then charge accordingly. Hope that helps
