Suffolk actor Lee Caley came to my Bentwaters studio to have his actor headshots redone. We started with a clean clamshell-lit casting headshot and finished in a flat cap and overcoat, with a lot of characters in between.
Four sets of jewellery, five short films and a set of stills for Jackey L Jewellers in Saxmundham, with Roberta modelling every piece. Why I treat photography and video as two separate jobs, and what changes when the jewellery, not the face, is the subject.
Daisy’s first session at my Bentwaters studio was split in two: a comp card, headshots and portfolio looks, then a dark Halloween set with corsetry, candlelight and a ceramic skull. Here’s how we planned it, how I lit it and what other models can take from it.
Promo photos and a one-minute video for this year’s Southwold Sausage Walk, shot on the beach by Southwold Harbour with organiser Laura, her friend Zoe, and two dachshunds, Nel and Lenny. The walk is on Sunday 18 October from 10am.
Sarah from The Coastal Clinic in Aldeburgh needed images of herself at work without showing real patients. Three colleagues played her clients and every treatment was staged for the camera. This post also explains what a standard edit includes and why I leave cropping to the client.
Ipswich fitness instructor Nina came back to my Rendlesham studio for a personal branding shoot for her social media. She brought her own mood board, did her own hair and makeup and arrived with a bag full of gymwear. Here is how we worked through it, from a dark and moody set to a lighter finish.
Keira came back to my Rendlesham studio for a romantic, painterly portrait session, eight looks lit by one big octa, a hair light and a rim light, with candles and a gold chair for the first set. Here is how we built the look, slowly, one small adjustment at a time.
I photographed a four bedroom contractor house in Oulton Broad for ML Short Stays on a wet Sunday in September. This post covers how I shot it for the people who will actually book it, why I blend HDR and flash, and why a grey day made the interiors easier rather than harder.
Heidi and Vaiva came to the studio with a car full of matching and complementary outfits for a joint model portfolio shoot. They did their own hair and makeup, and we worked through citrus prints, pinstripes and a newspaper set, with some individual images for each of them and a party-hat finish for Heidi’s 30th.
A personal branding shoot with FHM Forensic Accounting, a long-term client, at The Assembly House and The Forum in Norwich. The team were in the city for client meetings, so we used the same morning to show they work well beyond Suffolk, and to make the case for real photographs over AI images.
A boudoir session with a long-time client, built around a shared mood board, a trusted chaperone and clear boundaries throughout. Shot in my Rendlesham studio, this one was entirely her idea from the start.
A Pre-Raphaelite themed session at my Rendlesham studio, returning to Rossetti’s Lady Lilith with model Leona, this time shaped around softbox lighting, restrained styling, and years of trust built between artist and model.
