FAQ
Can we meet in person first?
Absolutely. I love to put a face to the name when it comes to my clients and I’m sure you feel the same when trusting a photographer to capture your narrative. I am based in South Manchester but I often visit Bristol to see family or London for work so drop me a message and let’s set up that coffee date or video call!
How would you describe your style and what kind of shots do you take?
I describe my style as bold, seductive and nostalgic - I love to create imagery with rich colours and lots of depth and texture. My shooting style is relaxed, natural and very detail oriented. I like to be dynamic when I shoot so I usually stick to a 35mm prime lens which is a beautiful all-rounder for capturing contextual shots and details at the same time.
What are your prices?
I don’t publish my prices as every enquiry is different but I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised. I have dedicated packages depending on whether you are looking for product centric content or a show stopping annual look-book or anything in between. Send me an email with details of what you’re looking for and I can cost something up for you.
Can I pay by the hour?
I cost up the shoot depending on your requirements and can certainly charge by the hour if you are a blogger or would just like some candid portraiture.
Do you edit your own photos?
I most definitely do. I go through and make a selection of the best images and edit them myself one at a time. This involves basic colour correction, cropping and maybe adding a little warmth and texture which is my signature style. I want all of my images to look crisp, vibrant and timeless so this is exactly what I strive for after having captured them. I also do basic skin re-touching but I don’t do any ‘heavy photoshopping’ so to speak. I believe that a great photographer can create a beautiful image with their most powerful tool alone; their camera, and shouldn’t rely too heavily on post production. You will also never find me blanket-dropping presets onto my work - it’s just not my style.
How long until my images are ready?
With a half day or full day campaign I give an estimate of between 1-2 weeks but sometimes blogger shoots or smaller, home-based projects can be ready in a matter of days.
Can your travel to us?
Yes! I love to travel with my work and I will always try to work out the cheapest travel option with you so that it doesn’t incur much additional cost to the day.
Are you Insured?
Yes! It’s important to work with photographers who have public liability insurance for your peace of mind as well as theirs. I am insured for public liability cover of up to 1 million as well as equipment hire of up to £2,000. If you need to see certification just let me know!
What type of photography services do you offer?
I predominantly shoot Lifestyle and / or Still Life images for independent clients, whether it’s a designer look book, blogger or small fashion business. I also love working on creative projects in my spare time - I will usually undertake a few projects a year that have small budgets if they are in line with my style so if you like the look of my work but your just starting out I’d still love to chat.
What happens if you’re ill on the day of our shoot?
I would have to be seriously ill to miss a set day but please be assured that I would always endeavour to find another photographer for you. If there are other people involved or rescheduling is not an option then I have a wonderful circle of talented photographer friends who I would call to for help in an emergency. I would also like to proudly state that I have only had about 3 sick days in the last decade so the odds are low!
Can you help us to source models, stylists & locations?
This is one of my favourite things to do so if you need a helping hand with the above please do let me know. I have three years experience orchestrating fashion shoots for a heritage British fashion label where I selected everything from which models to test shoot with to what location best suited the brief. I also have a catalogue of locations, models and stylists I have either worked with before or whom I know work well - a contact list that I am always happy to dip into!
