Collaborations & Creative Projects

Upcoming Collaborations & Creative Projects

As a photographer, I thrive on collaboration. Some of the most exciting, boundary-pushing images I’ve created have come from working with passionate people across different industries – models, make-up artists, product manufacturers, food brands, stylists, suppliers, and even fellow photographers.

This page is where I share details of my upcoming personal projects. These are ideas I’d love to bring to life with like-minded creatives who want to explore, experiment, and build something truly unique – whether that’s for portfolio development, award submissions, or simply for the joy of making magical work.

I believe great photography happens when different skills come together. If you’re any of the following, I’d love to hear from you:

Models (experienced or new, looking to build a portfolio)
Make-up artists & stylists who want to showcase their craft in high-impact shoots
Food brands & suppliers interested in striking, editorial-style images
Product manufacturers who’d like their creations photographed in imaginative settings
Lighting professionals & set designers who love experimenting with visual storytelling
Fellow photographers who want to collaborate and co-create beyond client work

Why Collaborate?

These projects are designed to be fun, inspiring, and professionally valuable. Collaboration can help you:

Expand your portfolio with polished, stand-out images
Test creative ideas without the pressure of client briefs
Gain exposure by sharing in award submissions, features, or exhibitions
Connect with other talented professionals and grow your creative network

#1 Glamour meets decay

Concept Overview

This project aims to create a striking visual contrast by placing high-end glamour in the heart of decay. The vision is to photograph a model in a dramatic floor-length ball gown or prom dress—ideally satin or similarly flowing fabrics—set against the backdrop of an abandoned location. The juxtaposition of elegance and ruin will give the images a cinematic, surreal, and emotive quality.

Wardrobe: Flowing satin ball gown or prom dress, floor-length, with movement and drama
Location: Abandoned building, church, hall, or industrial site with character—dust, textures, and ruin to contrast the refined styling
Mood: High-fashion editorial, dramatic lighting, moody atmosphere, and bold contrast between subject and surroundings

Key Roles Needed

Model: Comfortable in high-fashion styling, confident with dramatic posing and movement in gown.
Makeup Artist (MUA): Able to create a polished, editorial look to complement the gown and theme.
Lighting Assistant / Second Shooter: To support with lighting setup and/or capture alternative perspectives in exchange for camera time.
Location Scout/Access: Assistance in securing an abandoned or characterful site for the shoot.

Equipment & Styling

Camera & Lenses: Full-frame DSLR or mirrorless, with a mix of wide and portrait primes for depth and intimacy.
Lighting: Portable strobes or continuous lights to create strong contrast and shape within the textured environment.
Props & Styling: Possible additions such as flowing fabric extensions, wind effects (fan), or smoke for atmosphere.

Outcome

A series of high-impact editorial-style photographs suitable for portfolio expansion and collaborative use (model, MUA, and assistants).
Images will emphasize the power of contrast—luxury and decay, glamour and ruin—captured with a cinematic aesthetic.

#6 Maternity Portfolio Shoots

When? April/May 2026

*** Image for example only but to give a feel for concept

Concept:

This is a creative maternity shoot designed to celebrate that incredible moment just before everything changes — where strength, femininity, and anticipation all come together.

The concept is simple: high-end beauty, set against the raw, natural textures of woodland and riverside locations around Thetford. Think rich tones, soft movement, and just enough drama to elevate the scene without losing that natural, grounded feel.

We’ll blend fashion-inspired portraiture with a more organic outdoor setting — using light, colour, and carefully chosen angles to create something that feels both powerful and elegant. This isn’t about stiff posing. It’s about capturing confidence, presence, and that unmistakable glow in a way that feels effortless.

What We’re Creating

The goal is to build a small, refined set of maternity beauty images — the kind you’d expect to see in a magazine, but still personal and authentic. Flowing fabrics, flattering light, and a focus on detail will help shape a collection that feels polished without being overdone.

Who This Is For

I’m looking for up to 4 mums-to-be in the final couple of months of pregnancy who’s open to something a little more styled and creative. You don’t need modelling experience — just a willingness to trust the process and enjoy the moment.

The Shoot

Location: Woodland / riverside areas around Thetford, Mundford area
Timing: Weather-dependent (we’ll plan it right)
Duration: Around 2 hours

What You’ll Receive

Around 10 fully edited, high-resolution images
Web-ready versions for sharing
Optional behind-the-scenes moments

Cost

There’s no cost involved — this is a collaborative portfolio shoot.

I’m always happy to welcome people into the studio on a TFP (Time for Prints (or Time for Pictures)) basis if they connect with my style and want to create something we’re both proud to showcase in our portfolios.

For me, TFP (Time for Prints (or Time for Pictures)) is a genuine collaboration. I bring my time, the studio space, and all the editing work. In return, the model brings their time, skills, and travel. When we both put something in, we both walk away with images that truly reflect our shared creativity.

I’m not here to shoot purely for my own gain. What excites me is working alongside like-minded creatives, bouncing ideas around, and building something that feels fresh, artistic, and worthwhile for everyone involved.

If you have a concept in mind — especially something a bit artistic, expressive, or out of the ordinary — I’d love to hear it. As long as it fits the overall feel of my portfolio, I’m always open to exploring new project ideas together.
