Personal Projects
I photograph because people pay me to photograph. More than that though, I photograph because I'm passionate about photography and have been since I was a teenager shooting photos of my friends (on film of course!). When I'm not shooting for clients I create my own little - and not so little - projects to explore various aspects of photography. One constant over the last 10 years has been my photographic portraiture of the good people of Newport, South Wales. I've shot hundreds of people for my Newportraits and Welsh From Everywhere projects, and will continue to add to this archive.
I'm always striving to expand my knowledge and skills, so regularly choose to get out of my comfort zone and try new things photographically. Here's a selection of Personal photographic Projects which I'll be adding to from time to time.
Shooting Stars in Eryri
In May 2021 we went to Eryri (Snowdonia) for a week's break. Known for its dark skies, but not its clear skies, I was extremely lucky to get 3 nights of (almost) cloud-free photography of the stars.
Plantlife
A selection of plant photography - from my garden and beyond.
Model Shoot: Indica Snow
Indica Snow was a new model up for a creative photography collaboration, so we hooked up (with Marion as stylist / MUA) and experimented with liquid latex. *Contains Nudity
Photoramble: Paper Folds
Another wet Winter weekend photoramble, requiring just a mobile phone and a scrap of paper.
Upfest Bristol
I've spent many a day wandering cities of the world looking for interesting street art to photograph. Bristol Upfest brings it a lot closer.
Birthday Suits
A selection of nude or implied nude images that I've shot with various models over the last few years. *Does what it says on the tin and contains nudity.
Portraiture Projects
Here I've collected some of my favourite photo portraits from my Newportraits, Welsh From Everywhere and other projects.
