Meet Allan Vincent, a photographer from the Chorley area, who needed a headshot for his various social media outlets, and whilst he was at the studio, photographing his gorgeous daughter, I nailed his feet to the black backdrop and took my chances 🙂
This was an unexpected opportunity. It was actually an engagement shoot for a young couple who brought along their dog, rather than leave him at home. I love animals, and I just can’t help making a fuss of any dog brought to the studio. They’re all such characters and full of fun, and this chap was certainly that. How on earth could I not photograph
A good friend of mine, Rachel Mason of Dare to be Different, asked if I would photograph Sarah, a friend of Rachel’s who also worked in her salon. Sarah has a great interest in all things dark. Vampires, horror and anything macabre. I felt the shoot should reflect this side of her chracter.

It was Jonathan that found the premises for me, and basically turned my business plan on its head, before opening new horizons for me.

I don’t really subscribe to the idea expensive=better. Sure, you tend to have more features etc, but the ability to make the image in your head into a physical print is down to the skill
This was a shoot that had been promised for a number of years. The young lady is in fact my niece, Chelsea, and some time ago I said I’d organise a portrait session for her. Well, time soon slipped by, and the 120 miles between us doesn’t help.
Four young ladies to photograph, before they are whisked away to enjoy their prom evening.
On a quiet industrial estate near Preston, is a warehouse that is stacked floor to ceiling with all sorts of items, ready to be shipped out to various parts of the world in dire need . This is the hub of The International Aid trust.
A change of tack here, as this time it was to be a male makeover for Toni and Guy. Again, similar restraints regarding the work area (four feet by six), but my approach would be a little different. Again, this was for an article for Live Preston magazine.
