MEET JIMMY & FREDDIE
These two cheeky chaps came in with their Mum and Dad last week and were great fun in the studio. It was really nice to see them play and have a good laugh together. My own family is growing, with a second boy due in October, and I hope our sons will have just as close a relationship as Jimmy and Freddie.
MEET EBENEZER, AMELIA AND ESTHER
They came in for the last Kodak Awards session for this year and I got some great shots of the whole family and of Amelia, who was a real star on the day. Let’s the images I selected as competition entries will grab the judges attention.
ETHOS… NOW ON LOCATION!
I was on Cawsand beach yesterday, sampling some lovely springtime sun and witnessing the start of something really fresh and exciting for Ethos. Playing in the waves were two pure breed horses, ridden by the proud parents of a two year old little girl. She was sitting quietly on her dad’s lap, totally confident as the horses splashed about and trotted along. On an overlooking rock, Seb Joli, Ethos’ new location photographer, was capturing this delightful family as they were doing what they love best.
After spending many years offering his services in the Salcombe area, Seb Joli is relocating and is now available to photograph families in South East Cornwall under the Ethos brand. As mentioned earlier, This marks a big step forward for Ethos. Seb is an expert in making the most of the beautiful South West scenery to produce vibrant family portraits on location. This new partnership means that we can now give our clientele the choice between studio or location portraiture.
So if you are looking for portraits in your favourite Cornish beauty spot, practicing your favourite sport, or if you simply prefer the comfort of your own home, call to book Seb. If on the other hand you are seeking stylised portraits created in a studio environment , you should book me, William. In either case, we guarantee you a fun and relaxed photo-shoot that delivers portraits you will be proud of and will cherish for ever.
We are still finalising the details of this new service; however, you can already book Seb Joli for a photo-shoot when you purchase a portrait voucher online HERE or from the studio on 01579 351913.
D.I.Y. ROCKS!
How often do you hear of guitarists building their own guitars? This young man certainly had the patience to create his own instrument and had the courage to bring it to the studio for his family’s photo-shoot. Let’s be honest, it doesn’t sound like a guitar, but at least his efforts led to some great portraits. This is one of my favourites.

KODAK AWARDS SHOOT WITH ROWAN AND LOTTIE
If there was an equivalent of a frequent flyer pass for photographic portraits, Rowan & Lottie would surely get one. I have photographed them every year for the last 3 years and it is always a pleasure to see them again.
This time, we shot some images specifically for the Kodak Portraits Awards and I am really pleased with the results. Let’s hope that one of Rowan and Lottie’s images wins the competition and that they get to share the £1000 prize with their mum & dad… they deserve it.

CORNWALL BOY NEXT BIG PHOTOGRAPHY TALENT?
Photographing this young man with his dad’s Leica camera really sent me back to my early teens, when I used to take pictures with my own father’s handed down Fuji ST705. I was 11 or 12 and struggling to comprehend concepts such as f stops, depth of field, ASA sensitivity and so on, but it was just so exciting to get it all to work out and create my first proper photographs.
I’m glad my parent supported me in my desire to become a professional photographer. I now make a living from doing what has always been a passion for me… How brilliant is that? Good luck to you young man, follow your dream!
