Outdoor Portrait Photography

There are numerous places in Bristol that make for excellent outdoor portrait photography locations. If you’re after a natural backdrop, we could venture to Ashton Court Estate, Bristol Cathedral Green or Brandon Hill. Or if you’re after a city backdrop, we could shoot at the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Cabots Circus or perhaps find some street art for a more edgy look.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I use full-frame, 24-megapixel, professional cameras and have two cameras with me at all times. I use a range of fast, professional lenses with constant aperture, along with a variety of professional lighting and studio equipment.

  • I will provide your photos via a downloadable online album, for which I will email you the link. If required, I can provide a USB stick containing the files, at extra cost. If you require physical prints, I am happy to discuss this further.

  • Images will be edited and delivered to you within 7 days of your photoshoot. I am able to provide images within 24 hours, or on the same day, for an additional cost, if required.

  • It really depends on your needs and the project brief. Sometimes, it's possible to get the perfect shots really quickly. Whereas, other times it requires a little more persistence to get shots you're satisfied with. We'll discuss your needs before and during the portrait shoot to ensure we hit the nail on the head and deliver photographs you love.

  • In order to capture shots you're happy with, it's important you wear something you're comfortable in for your portrait photoshoot. Of course, your clothing depends largely on the brief and your requirements. At the end of the day, this is your portrait shoot, so it's entirely up to you, or your stylist, what you choose to wear.

  • I offer all kinds of photography to my clients, but I particularly love working with people on fashion photography shoots, and portrait shoots. I love capturing someone’s personality in a photograph and helping people to feel at ease in front of the camera, even when they are nervous or camera shy.
