If you ask this event photographer what they would most enjoy doing, the answer would be to meet lots of inspirational business owners at a single event. Growthfest 2018, run by CIOS Growth Hub at the Cornwall Showground, was that event. The event was hugely busy, and had many different brands demonstrating their work and products. The atmosphere was positive and encouraging, with interesting talks […]
It was 5 in the morning with a dark and moody sky. There was a hint of rain in the air and a breeze was coming off the land and out towards the gloomy sea. We could have been there to do a casting session for a dramatic Poldark episode, not model photography with a stunning dress. There we were, shivering on the north coast […]
8 community business leaders in Cornwall graduated from the prestigious Community Business Trade Up Programme run by the School of Social Entrepreneurs Cornwall earlier this month. And I was invited to take the pictures! While I was there, we took the opportunity to photograph their CEO, Sally Heard and the team, as well as general PR images. The event was held at The Lynher, a […]
On the 22nd March 2018, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales (known as the Duke of Cornwall when visiting the Cornwall), visited Truro Cathedral and the newly refurbished Old Cathedral School. I was honoured to be asked to take photographs of his visit for the cathedral. His Royal Highness was given a tour of the Old Cathedral School which has recently been through a […]
Godrevy, in Cornwall, is a place that’s out of this world. Three and a half miles of sandy beaches, a lighthouse said to have been loved by Virginia Woolf, and plenty of heritage and history. Bring it together with a bit of sunshine and a BRILLIANT male model, and it is the perfect location for a model photography shoot. Meeting new models to work with […]
If you are planning a special event, how do you want to remember it? Do you want to be an observer or do you want to experience it? Hiring an event photographer can be that difference. I’ve done it myself… At Christmas gatherings or birthdays where, as the only photographer in my family, I have taken my camera. But what I find at the end […]
Early yesterday I was woken by shouts from the streets below us. Shortly after, there was a loud boom of thunder. I have been waiting for this for a long time. Photographing lightning over Falmouth was a bucketlist item fulfilled. I was absolutely delighted. There were weather warnings for thunderstorms in place. The air felt hot and sticky. I knew I had to kept my […]
The first time I saw the bluebells at Enys Gardens in Penryn happened to be when I was a freelance photographer for the Falmouth Packet. I was blown away. I was assigned a job to photograph the annual bluebell event which happened to fall at the same time as an art fayre. The weather had not been in favour that year but it was still […]
Snow is a rare thing in Cornwall, even more so in Falmouth.When we do see snow we have to make the most of it!As soon as I knew that snow was on the way, I packed my camera equipment and waited…and then waited a bit more until I got bored and went out for a walk around the headland, kit on my back and with […]
