People of Boomtown 2014

I was working at Boomtown festival last year filming a friends set and took some time to get amongst all the beautifully crazy people that passed me by. I don't usually do a lot of portrait photography, but with a constant stream of interesting characters and situations to photograph I was spoilt for choice.

All of the people here I met once, so I don't know them to share these photographs to them. If you recognise anybody here who was at the festival in 2014, please tag them or share this link with them.

I'm very pleased to announce I will be now selling my works as fine art prints, with framing options, and also canvas.

The prints will be Gallery quality Giclée print on natural white, matte, ultra smooth, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson K3 archival inks. Custom trimmed with 1" border for framing.

Simple click the 'Print' tab at the top of the page, and the store will open for you in a new tab! 

Thank you everyone who has supported and encouraged me over the years to do what I love doing, now its time to get some art on walls! 

No Exceptions Made - Autumn / Winter Collection.

I recently had the pleasure of working for Cardiff based clothing company 'No Exceptions Made'. We choose to shot on Llangethin beach on the gower Peninsular, West Wales. 

The sea's were rough, and the weather changed hour to hour from brilliant sunshine to heavy rain. These conditions were perfect, giving us a huge range of natural lighting in one day! The location was stunning with big skies, huge swell, dunes, sand, rainbows, and an endless backdrop of beautiful welsh coastline. 

The clothing company itself is run by a very good friend of mine named Nem McCarthy. She is a lovely human being, and has worked extremely hard over the past few years designing and hand printing everything which goes on sale! Here is a link to the website where you can pick up this stuff for yourself:

I'm so happy with the results I achieved from this shoot in particular. It was great working with everyone involved, thanks so much Nem, to the models, and assistance.

Hope you enjoy the images !

Instagram is one of my favourite places to share my work, and seek out inspiration from others. I love it. Here is a sample of my feed from the last 2 weeks!

I’d never seen anything like it, I took these three images a few minutes apart as a thick blanket of sea fog rolled onto shore at sunset. The timing was perfect, as the sun was setting, it illuminated the ghostly cloud with orange and red as it
Yesterday I drove for three hours to stare at this view for one hour. Worth it. Also, look at this house! . . . #seeyououtthere #doyoutravel #exploretocreate #welltravelled #lostatlast #theoutbound #keepitwild #theadventurehandbook #ignant #artistini
