Portrait, in the studio

Relaxed sessions in Darwen town centre.

Headshots, band shots, family portraits, creative sessions. The studio is small on purpose: it is one portrait photographer, one subject and the time to get it right, not a conveyor belt with a number.

Shot in the studio

Recent portraits from the Darwen studio.

Artists, DJs, promoters, and one very patient dog. Dark backdrops, hard light where it earns it, and a set of frames the sitter actually wants to post.

Product photography

Products, lit like they matter.

Product photography for brands and shops: clean shots on white for the listing, and lit, styled sets for the ads and the feed. Shot in the studio with a lightbox, a white sweep or coloured light, whichever the product wants.

Aerial, on location

Aerial photography and drone filming, planned around the site.

Property, events, land, venues and the shot that only works from above. Every aerial job is planned around the location first, because some sites and event grounds have airspace restrictions, and you should know before the day, not on it.
