Lifestyle Photography in Devon, Cornwall & South West England

My Lifestyle photography is a natural and relaxed way of capturing and promoting an organisaton, a brand or a person in a real life situation or location. I often shoot this style of images as part of a commercial photoshoot to add some human interest to bring a location, place or attraction to life. Lifestyle photography tends to play a part in almost all aspects of my commercial photography.

I work in many outdoor locations with natural  light or indoors with portable studio lighting to capture you at your very best. Often I work with creative marketing and design agencies and with area tourism partnerships to provide suitable lifestyle photography to promote a brand.

Examples of a mostly lifestyle project can be seen here in a slideshow of my photography for The National Trust who like the photographer to adopt an "experiential" lifestyle approach:

Union Street, Plymouth Documentary Photography Project

This is a personal documentary photography project of Plymouth's historic but decaying Union Street. A place of former greatness, now neglected and sad but showing glimmers of its former glamour. I am fascinated by the old buildings which survived the bombings of the 2nd World War but have been left to rot. Union Street, Plymouth is currently changing with work being done to the New Palace Theatre throughout 2016.

The street must hold memories of many good nights out for several generations of Plymothians and visiting service people. My favourite building in Plymouth is the old "New Palace Theatre", more recently known as the "Dance Academy". A magnificent building with a million stories!

Abandoned Theatre

I was lucky enough to photograph inside the New Palace Theatre in January 2016, during the early stages of the renovation by the Go palace charity.

The inside of the building evokes memories of when it was the "Dance Academy" nightclub in the 1990s and early 2000s but mostly of an abandoned theatre with many grand features and endless stories.

Plymouth Hoe Foreshore Documentary Photography 

The once magnificent lower foreshore of Plymouth Hoe shows signs of a bygone era of seaside splendour with disused bathing areas, changing rooms and sun decks. I am always fascinated to go exploring below the main promenade of Plymouth Hoe and see what I can find, old and new.

Shapes, colours and textures fight the elements for survival in this unforgiving environment, bathed in ever differing light from sky and sea. The area must be home to many memories from many eras.

This personal photographic project explores the details of this beautiful but often un-noticed area between the tide and the city. I really love this spot as it is but also feel that it could become an amazing world class amphitheatre in the future, but I quite like the Hoe foreshore as it is!

The Seaside Time Forgot. Documentary Photography of British Coastal Towns

Photography can be highly subjective depending upon which way you point the camera. We normally photograph locations to show the unspoilt, idyllic, clean and tidy, happy, smiley scene.

However, in this personal project, I am showing the opposite and equally subjective viewpoint of our British Seaside. One which is sometimes sad, sometimes humorous and often ironic and poignant. But always very "British". Many of our coastal towns are now a shadow of their former selves. The decline of the seaside town has ebbed and flowed ever since the advent of the Mediterranean package holiday several decades ago and although many British resorts have fought back and reinvented themselves, some have gone even further backwards.

This project shows some of the quintessentially Westcountry images that I have captured around our beautiful region from West Cornwall to North Somerset, From seaside scenes and piers to quaint villages and from traditional country events to beautiful sunset silhouettes.
