Chris is an awesome photographer, so respectful, caring and such a lovely person. We created such fab images. Chris has the best ideas and I just love our shoots! Thank you so much for driving so far to collect me and going to the location. I really appreciate it. Thanks for the best day, and I’m already looking forward to the next shoot.

Provocative Images that Inspire Reaction
Another side of my work. Well, this is about more than posing; it’s a celebration of confidence, beauty, self-expression, hard hitting emotions, controversy and so many other human behaviours, that have been put together in a section I have named “Provocative”. Which, is designed to create captivating images that blend human nature with an artistic approach. Using dramatic lighting, striking compositions, and thoughtful direction, each photograph becomes a powerful work of art—telling a story that feels truly unforgettable, while capturing a unique allure and individuality.
“Provocative” gives me the opportunity to break out and embrace humanity and our behaviour, through a creative image. Showing intuition, and a passion for storytelling in every photograph I create. These sessions are crafted to capture emotion in a way that feels natural, and bold. Letting me look at the world through a lens that often goes unnoticed, hidden and ignored.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris again when he came to my home for a shoot. Pre-comms were excellent. Chris sent me a moodboard full of ideas and themes. It had been a good couple of years since our last shoot so it was great to catch up and work together again. Chris is one of the most professional and respectful photographers out there who always ensures I feel comfortable and happy. He arrived on time and prepared with his equipment and props. We had a lot of fun and worked at a relaxed yet productive pace through various different sets/looks. Working with Chris is always a breath of fresh air as he thinks outside the box and utilises the spaces differently from others and is very creative and works hard to achieve the results he is after. Chris gives fantastic direction but also allows me to give my own input and ideas. I had a good look through the back of the camera and as always I was blown away with the results! Absolutely incredible! I highly recommend this photographer to others and would certainly love to work with him again.
I had a great shoot with Chris where we shot in a rustic house with some big Angel Wings!
As per usual Chris was polite, respectful and courteous to me during the shoot. We always have a great time shooting together and we had a lot of fun on the shoot.
We created some great shots and I really enjoyed my shoot with Chris. Thank you for an awesome shoot and I look forward to working with you in Portugal!
What an amazing shoot I had with Chris in Oxford today, such a great experience. I was looking forward to shoot with Chris for a long period of time and very happy it happened today, I got the best memories of it.
Pre-communication was on spot and Chris is very easy to communicate with and discuss all the details, including outfit suggestions,so we were all ready to shoot and I was pleased to see photos looking great straight out of the camera.
We had a great walk around in Oxford shooting at the best Oxford landmarks and gorgeous backgrounds Chris spotted on our way with his great photography eye. Chris shoots without any rush and is very relaxed and knows his craft,as he was suggesting me some helpful directions and was also changing his position to get different angles and perspectives.
So I can say I had a lot of fun shooting with Chris and hope to have a chance to shoot with him again
Highly recommended,100%
I had the pleasure of working with Chris for the first time in Winchester!
Our pre-communication was excellent! Chris planned everything perfectly, found a location that worked well for both of us, visited it beforehand to check the best spots, and even found a convenient parking space near the city!
On the day of the shoot, he met me at the parking lot, and we walked towards the city.
I found Chris to be a very kind, easygoing, and pleasant person. We had a great chat, and the time flew by quickly. Chris is also a really great and creative photographer with a lot of ideas and passion for making something beautiful! We did a lot of different outfits in amazing locations! In the middle of the shoot, Chris was so kind to treat me to a cup of my favorite matcha. He didn’t rush, and the whole photowalk was very relaxed and pleasant. I was very happy to see the city, and we had a truly enjoyable conversation.
After the shoot, Chris was kind enough to send me the photos that look really great! And we are already discussing our next shoot. Chris has so many truly fantastic creative plans that I am very excited to bring to life!
Thank you so much for such a lovely day; I am looking forward to working with you again in the future!
I’ve shot with Chris a few times now and he always works hard for great results from every shoot. He is very creative with his ideas and will always go out of his way to achieve great things.
Chris is excellent with communication, we always have a laugh and he is always professional and respectful and will never let anyone down!
Definitely recommended, thank you Chris
FAQS
Have questions about photography, how it all works, or more? This FAQ section offers clear answers to help and inform you of my styles and opinions.
Preparation is not always simple! Sometimes I am lucky to have the help of a team with the preperation and execution of an entire shoot. Other times it could just be me and the subject. Which ever it may be, their is always something that makes the process that little bit harder. Health of team members, locations and weather if outside can all play a factor on whether the shoot goes ahead as planned.
Most sessions last between two and four hours, depending on the type of shoot and the number of locations. This gives us enough time to capture a variety of poses and natural moments without feeling rushed. I will always give myself more time than i need so everything flows smoothly, and the team will have plenty of time to feel relaxed, enjoy the experience, and create photos that feel effortless and true to the concept.
This can vary from shoot to shoot. I take time to carefully select and edit each photo, ensuring the highest quality of images. I use an online program to share with the subject or client. So they will receive your gallery digitally, making it easy to download, share, or print accordingly. If a quicker turnaround is required, I will do my best to accommodate the clients timeline. This could mean certain images and certain shoots will take priority.
