North Wales spoils you for choice. You can point your camera in almost any direction and find something dramatic, ancient, moody, or downright whimsical staring back at you. These are the places I keep returning to because they give you atmosphere without trying and they make people look like they belong in a legend.

Classic cars aren’t just machines. They’ve lived. They’ve been driven, repaired, sworn at, polished, shown off, and occasionally coaxed back to life with a mixture of hope and questionable language. They carry history in their paintwork and personality in every noise they make. If you own one, you already know it’s more than a vehicle. It’s part of your life.

There is no shame in being nervous before a photoshoot. Most people are. Having a camera pointed at you can feel strange at first, but the whole point of working with me is that we make this fun. You will settle in faster than you think, and you will probably end up booking another shoot before you have even seen the final gallery.

People always ask what a photoshoot with me is like, usually with the same slightly panicked expression people get when they’re about to have their passport photo taken. So let’s clear that up. It is nothing like that.

Location is one of the biggest ingredients in a photoshoot. It sets the tone, shapes the story, and has a huge impact on how you feel in front of the camera. As a photographer working across North Wales and Cheshire, I see this every week. The right place can bring out parts of you that you didn’t even realise were waiting to be seen.

For a long time, I stayed behind the lens.

Photography was my quiet place—structured, safe, full of rules I could follow without ever being seen. I loved helping others show up confidently in front of the camera, but I never imagined I’d do the same for myself.
