The Best Locations to Take Photos Around Bristol, UK With almost twenty years’ of experience photographing people and places in and around Bristol, I thought it would be good to create a list of locations which are particularly photogenic around Bristol. Let’s begin with the Cumberland Basin area, which has so many opportunities. Cumberland Basin. SS Great Britain. Avon Gorge. Bristol, a city rich in history, culture, and creativity, offers so, so many excellent locations for portrait and landscape photography. One of my favourites is the Cumberland Basin, a favourite for both locals and visitors looking to capture creative and unique shots. The area surrounding the large bridge near the Create Centre is ideal for single or multiple-person portrait sessions. With its blend of modern and historical architecture, this location offers countless photo and video opportunities. The most striking feature is the bridge itself, with its tall columns exuding a sense of grandeur. The industrial charm of the bridge adds a strong, structured element to your images, making it perfect for those looking to incorporate a sense of sophistication into their photos. It is one of the best Bristol locations for stunning shots. The area is further enhanced by vibrant […]
Read OnCharity, Care and Wellbeing Gallery Hot on the heels of my recent corporate gallery, I thought it would be great to share some of my work in the charity, care, and wellbeing sectors. Over the past 19 years, I’ve been fortunate to work as a full-time Bristol-based corporate and commercial photographer, collaborating with a wide range of clients. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many different charities, something that I’m particularly passionate about. Capturing Meaningful Moments for Charities In my years as a photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to work with organisations like Parkinson’s UK, Comic Relief, and the NHS, to name a few. These shoots have included everything from documenting care workers on the frontline to capturing the vibrant energy of pilates classes and schools. Each job has been unique, but they all share a common thread—telling important stories through images. Working with charities is especially meaningful to me, and I understand the importance of capturing moments that reflect their values and goals. I always aim to create images that resonate with the charity’s message, whether it’s showcasing the care provided by healthcare workers or documenting the impact of community programs. Supporting Charities with Special Pricing I also understand that […]
