There is nothing you love more than your family. Parents, siblings, children, the love you feel toward your family is like no other feeling – you know how it is: when they laugh you laugh, when they cry you cry. Here in the studio, I think we’d say our favourite images are those of our families. In this day and …
This business originally grew out of the beautiful pictures that Paul created of his own, young family, so it might not come as such a surprise to find we still specialise in photographing children! In fact, the bestselling book “Mastering Portrait Photography” that Paul co-wrote with Sarah Plater, features an award-winning image he created of a young boy called Ben …
Being able to pose someone is absolutely key to creating great portraits. But what if you’re not comfortable directing someone, or you’re looking for something that little bit more natural? In this workshop we explored the subtle art of posing people without, well, posing people. It’s simple really! It’s good to be back at the Societies Of Photographers Convention in …
Every day in the office (aka studio) is a good day. But there are good days and really good days. This was the latter: creating headshots and portfolio images for Libby.

Even a cold, grey day in London can still culminate in beautiful portraits. Our Societies Of Photographers Convention Superclass focussed on being creative with light and location – a chilly, but creative, portrait photography workshop! It’s late and it’s the end of a long week, or the beginning of a long week depending on how you view this, a Monday. …
Chance encounter leads to unimaginably beautiful portrait shoot!

There are so many joys to being a wedding and portrait photographer – particularly with location family photography – that I am forever in danger of sounding like I am on happy pills but, trust me, I really don’t need them!
