I am a Plymouth portrait photographer

As a professional portrait photographer, I work with individuals to provide portrait, fashion, and editorial photography, from magazine and catalogue photoshoots to model and actor portraits and portfolios. I live in the beautiful South West county of Devon and regularly work with clients across the UK.

My speciality is in studio photography using professional lighting and equipment to create high-quality editorial and fashion photography, but I also regularly work with clients in outdoor environmental settings if you prefer a natural or urban backdrop for your photoshoot.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plymouth Portrait Photography

  • I use full-frame professional cameras and have two cameras with me at all times. I use a range of professional lenses, along with a variety of professional lighting and studio equipment to capture the perfect high-quality images for your business or portfolio.

  • 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 2-7 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.
