Still find it so surreal when I see my work appear around places but love seeing it when I do!
Hopefully bigger and better to come in future!

Inspired by classical Chiaroscuro artists such as Carvaggio we played with obscurity and high contrast in our dark and lights to create something different for the studio

I was asked recently why I like this image of
@conzo0311
so much.
It's an intriguing question. Our perception of images is deeply personal, shaped by our unique experiences and perspectives.
What draws you to this image or any other? What do you perceive within its frame?

Toxic Masculinity
We have a unique platform to redefine masculinity and break free from harmful stereotypes
Let's capture more images like this of
@conzo0311
that challenge what masculinity means, provocative yet leaning into the vulnerability, empathy & emotional depth in men

Stoked to see these Scottish Highland landscapes finally in print after taking them earlier this year.
Really enjoying being able to create these prints myself now as it brings a whole new dimension to my work.
If you are interested in prints sometime then send me a message.

Let this image serve as a reminder: we are all
multifaceted beings, each with our own stories to tell
and depths to explore

What sets timeless portrait photography apart?
It goes beyond mere snapshots and ventures into the realm of artistry, resonating with the viewer long after they were taken
This capture of Paul Ryder is one we keep coming back to time and time again and we simply had to share

We love exploring with colour but there’s something beautifully raw and emotive about stripping it away and focusing on the essence of a scene.

Some of the best feedback is hearing how relaxed and comfortable people feel during a shoot
Stepping in front of a camera can be scary and we work hard to make it as easy as possible for people to push themselves and get results they love like
@hypnogunge
did here
Gorgeous! ❤️
Sometime a little more revealing from my photoshoot with
@PatonYatesPhoto
at bear bash.
I don't normally show that much skin, but I was keen on doing something vulnerable and submissive and I felt comfortable around them to do so.
