Bend and Snap Photography

I am normally scared of using white but when Amy wanted to do something with mark making, I dusted off my old charcoals and graphites and the backdrop became her canvas for leaving traces of movement. I adored the way she plunged into the idea and took it in her own direction. Thank you Amy!

Creative shoots are probably my favourite to do and they really feed my tired soul after show season! If you want to have a creative session let me know and we can build something together :)

Inaya 🪲 I’m going through a green phase and we used this for her black swan//casual ballet shoot ✨

Currently booking from Sept onwards for individual photoshoots. Creative or audition/portfolio sessions available 🙂

Some gems for your Monday from the superbly lovely and talented Lily 🪲💎 we used a green backdrop with a coloured gel to give it a theatrical vibe.

This was back in January but it’s nice to reflect back during busy times to remember why we do what we do 🧡

Location shooting with the brilliant Lois ✨👟
This was her first photoshoot and she took exactly zero seconds to get fully into it! So much fun and so much ability, well done Lois!

Also what a cool location her mum found! Will be returning 😎

Summer snaps from a gorgeous photoshoot with Megan and Emily ✨ just before these two left for uni and college, we jammed in a field and caught some special moments. These two have danced for years together and it was such an honour to capture their special friendship through dance 🌾

Side note - I don’t do enough location shoots and would love to do some creative location shoots this year. I have a lot of film in my fridge waiting to be loaded into cameras, if anyone is up for an analogue session please let me know🎞️

I had a veeeery creepy visitor to the studio the other day…
Creepy…sprinkled with bright energy and fun in the form of Bendy Tobias 👻✨ what a delight to meet him and see his incredible progress over the year!

This was my first time working with a contortionist and his first photoshoot, so we both learnt on the job and had a lot of fun creating a range of images 🎃

Putting the rainbow into your rainy days with the beauty 🧞‍♀️💘☔️🌈

Something a bit different, but I had so much fun on this portfolio shoot for Ellie, who’s an incredible stunt woman and martial artist 🥋🗡️ it was a great glimpse into a new world for me and just how hard she works is inspirational! I could have photographed her for hours but this was in March and it got dark (and chilly) pretty quickly!

Just kicking my way back on the gram with a variety pack of Amy. Plus, it was her birthday this week so what better way to dust off my posting hiatus than with this beauty! Hopefully I’ll keep this up…I have so much to post and new backdrops to show off 🤪
Happy birthday Amy and happy weekend to everyone else 🕺🏼

Strong lines and bold colours from Caitlin’s shoot with me earlier this year 🌕 it’s taken me too long to post these, but hey, it’s worth the wait 🙃
Looking forward to shooting more studio and location shoots this year!
