This is a weird one... last autumn we were on our way to Headington shops in Oxford and we spotted this beautiful woman. Without my camera bag, I had no business cards or anything, so it felt like an opportunity missed... but little did I know that she would be working at the pub in the city centre later that evening for the pub quiz. 

An almost impossible coincidence, but a very good one. There was no mistake made the second time, and thankfully she was happy to have some photos taken and couldn't have been better! We had a great couple of hours wandering around, looking at new locations as the light faded and she was such a natural smiler, but serious when needed. 

Last October we were asked to shoot some clothes for The Quatermaster, in an AirBnb near oxford... with a few outfits to shoot and plenty of beautiful rooms, we shot through the requirements and had a bit of spare time to shoot our own things too...

In the summers of my MPhys degree, back in 2007-2011, I spent every day wandering the streets of York taking photographs of strangers and enjoying the many talented buskers that the city had back then. In around 2010, NYBB suddenly turned up and always got huge crowds, and it was a joy to watch them from the very start. Since then, they've become a little more famous and it's a rarity to see them on the streets these days, so when I heard they were coming back to York I was on it... only to find out that they'd sold out. Luckily, a cheeky email begging for a couple of tickets led to me taking a few photos of them just before Christmas... 

It had been a while since I took some photos of Oliver, but Laura and Mark dragged me along to Thorpe Perrow arboretum on a lovely autumn afternoon to finally get some more snaps...

For some reason, Oliver was not in any mood to play along - being pretty grumpy the whole time... but still, over the couple of hours we managed to find a few happy moments!

After wanting to shoot this kind of thing for a long time, me and Xenia managed to find a quick hour in a very busy weekend to do it... I got everything packed, even packed my lights and things (a rarity for me, I just love natural light) and we rushed out to the location to get this all done. Then we encountered a bit of a problem... 

 Last month I was asked to go and photograph Hannah and her gym in York for some promotional material. She was such a lovely person and it was very fun to have a whole space like this to ourselves for the afternoon... certainly some slightly different and new images came of it!

Having been in touch with Harriet for many, many years, whilst both living up in Sheffield and York, somehow our paths never crossed and a shoot never happened. Luckily for me, I realised she was down in Bristol whilst I was visiting Oxford so a well overdue set of photos could finally happen!..

A quick afternoon shoot with this beautiful Canadian left me with some lovely images. She had a very pretty smile and cool style, for more photos... keep on reading...

Some exciting news, we decided to put together a 2019 calendar of Xenia for her many, many fans. They're already ordered and look amazing... for more information, keep on reading!..
