Bill photographed my wife and I for a family portrait and I can say, the experience was a fantastic one.
Not only was the time that he spends with us a very enjoyable one.
His relaxed approach, put us at ease, which shone through in the photos we received. Whenever our friends and family see them they always comment on how relaxed we look. Bill’s approach is professional , enthusiastic and positive, which again is reflexed in his photographs. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Thanks, Vikki. Much appreciated :-)
Peace and Love
I was impressed with the photos Bill took for my website and we had a great time taking them. We did one in a gym with a client, which captured how I work, and another in a gym-studio of me alone. Altogether, I got exactly what I wanted. Bill delivers a fast service, I had the proofs in days, and he worked on the shots I chose in both colour and black and white. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants their business photographs taken with personality in mind. More...

Working with Bill has been a pleasure, he always gets a good photo no matter what situation you throw him into. I would especially recommend him at events as then you will see him switch into covert ops mode ducking, diving and crawling around guests to get the elusive shots he needs!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to a great photograph lies within the photographer. In the same way, a great song lies within the songwriter. It’s the emotion it delivers.
A creative photographer has a keen eye for geometry, juxtaposition, colour, and tone.
While it comes naturally, there’s a long road between having that eye and developing it into the craft that produces the art, that is photography.
A great photographer understands people, how they behave, and how they interact with each other and the world around them.
A great photograph has soul.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
A photoshoot is a production involving pre-capture planning, the capture of the pictures on the day, post-capture development where the pictures come to life, and finally the delivery of the products to your doorstep or desktop.
So, right from the get-go we need to manage our expectations, match our values, and bring it all together within a realistic budget.
Please, bear in mind that shoots vary and have different requirements. But this is a typical outline of the process.
• Why are you having these photographs taken? Is it something you want or is it something you need doing?
• At the end of it, what do you expect to have in your hand? Are you looking for digital social media files or printed products like albums, framed portraits etc.?
• Who is your audience? Is it friends and family, something personal, or is it for a wider, communal purpose?
• Do you have any specific ideas in mind? Are there pictures you’ve seen that you would like yours to look like?
• An excellent collaborative tool we could use to develop visual ideas is Pinterest. Do you use Pinterest? It’s simple and intuitive, and I can send you a link to join a private board for our exclusive use.
• Critically, do you know your budget, and what you expect to get for that kind of money? I produce quality, imaginative photographs, and an enjoyable customer experience along the way. My track record proves that.
What do you love most about your job?
Riding on the excitement of planning, shooting, and styling the pictures is the keystone of my enjoyment. I'd be disingenuous if I said that I didn't want to make a good living out of something I enjoy doing but, making people happy with the results of my craft is equally important.
The satisfaction of a job well done is a reward in itself.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My abilities in photography really stepped up from the keen interest level to professional while I was working in the TV and video production industry. Our independent company produced corporate video mainly, at the time when digital photography was becoming accessible.
And one thing led to another, really.
Why should our clients choose you?
Above all else, I strive to provide outstanding photographic services and an enjoyable customer experience at appetising prices.
• Professionalism from inception to delivery.
• Experience.
• Customer satisfaction. My reviews are testament to the customer experience and the fulfilment of clients’ expectations I provide.
• Value. You will always get appreciative value for money from me.
• Protection and safeguarding through compliance with Consumer Protection law.
• Peace of mind against damage to property or person with Public Liability insurance.
• An End User Licence Agreement (EULA).
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No. Photographs must be taken in person, obviously, but I do provide both high and low resolution digital files as end products.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
There isn't much you can do, really. You can't shoot in masks, which is the main thing.
Event Photography
Social events come in all shapes and sizes and cover every stage of life. I’m here for anything you want. Literally anything from the sublime to the ridiculous. I welcome it all as a challenge and an adventure.
• Fundraising
• Family.
• Corporate.
Portraiture
Portraits make excellent presents. Show the ones you love just how much you appreciate them with a portrait sitting for a birthday, anniversary, or any landmark occasion in life.
• Children from nippers to adolescents.
• Teenagers.
• Coming of Age at 18 or 21.
• Grandparents.
• Mothers and Fathers Days.
A portrait, in the form of sculpture, painting, or more recently as a photograph, date back to the dawn of civilisation. They have stood as testaments not only to what people looked like, but they give us an insight into who and what they were about. Their character.
Portraits are how we remember someone in a specific time in their and our lives. And the picture lasts way beyond our lifetimes.
Portraits can be sculpted in creative studio lighting or shot environmentally, around your neighbourhood or in town somewhere. Wherever matches the person’s personality is all that counts.

Lifestyle Photography
Lifestyle is an informal, natural-looking home or location shoot that involves gentle direction, and a choice of situation, background etc. The result has a documentary feel to it, that captures the natural interaction and humour between people.
• Family.
• Leisure.
Another way of looking at lifestyle is as a photo essay of your day. Whatever your activity, I can tell the story.
• Sailing.
• Racing.
