My experience

I have three years’ experience working at a high street photography studio, combined with nearly two decades of experience as a solo photographer (gosh, that makes me sound old!).

I’ve photographed every age, from newborns that were just a few days old through to grandparents with their children, children’s children and sometimes even four generations of descendants!

I’ve co-authored two books on portrait photography, both published by Ammonite Press. Foundation Portrait Photography is a great introductory guide if you want to take your DSLR off automatic mode to capture better photographs of your children as they grow. Mastering Portrait Photography is more advanced, with plenty of insider tips, tricks and techniques if you’re looking to take your photography more seriously. Mastering Portrait Photography was reprinted after quickly selling out its first print run. It has been translated into Italian under the National Geographic brand and is now being published in German, too.

I work almost exclusively with studio light, in my professional home photography studio in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
