B&W PhotographyThere's something special about B&W photography, it seems to portray a deeper sense of emotion. It portrays a timeless instance of a moment where an impression is suggested by the creator but the overall feeling created by that impression is different and dependant on the imagination of observer...... Artists, musicians and creatives are amazing subjects to capture those moments, where those feelings are displayed through the dedication, intensity and love of the art and a.....

Sally Gartell at St Chad'sHey Adam, say’s Sally, would be great to do another photoshoot with the senior girls, a bit like we did last time at Gregynog Hall. Elsie will be leaving us and it would be fantastic if we could create a little photoshoot memory for her, any ideas?Nope, none I reply, I’m out of ideas off the cuff, awwwww, you’ll think of something - so we arrange to meet for a drink and chat to go through some dance and venue options. We have lots of ideas but struggle to come up.....

St Chads ChurchAs the shadows dance and flicker in time to the warm rays of a dawn sun refracted through the dappled glass of St Chads Church in Shrewsbury, all kinds of people come to pay their respects to a much-loved man who did so much for his community and built a funeral business where sensitivity, care and consideration are at the core of its foundation.Vicars, Vergers, candle bearers, gently gather to support and accompany Funeral Director and daughter, Leanne, as she guides the funeral.....

Fish LegalRiver Wye Photoshoot Ross On WyeMay 24th 2025 – location, the river Wye in a field somewhere along the A40! This was a long time in the making as Penny had tried to arrange this during the winter of 2024 but due to incredibly bad weather, it had to be postponed on a number of occasions.

This was in fact Penny’s final shoot with me as she would be stepp.....

Emma & Dan3-9-24 Once upon a time, a time before the last pandemic, I had a message asking if I would cover a wedding shoot for a friend’s daughter – which was a bit scary on two counts, 1, Mel is an amazing portrait photographer, 2 What if I forget! I was actually more worried about the fact that Mel was an amazing photographer herself, why can’t you do it yourself - cause I’m the mother of the bride was the reply, I could be the mother of the bride for the day but no, so the date w.....
