* WAITING LIST available FOR SHOOTS POST FEB 22ND *

What a strange time we are going through. Life as we knew it has changed in so many ways. Simple things we took for granted taken away in an instant. Yet life goes on, and so do we. We find ways to adapt, to stay connected, and to keep smiling.

As a portrait photographer, my job is all about people. Spending time with people, getting to know who they are, and capturing moments that truly reflect them. While COVID-19 has certainly impacted the way that I work, it has not changed what is at the heart of my practice - human connection. If anything, in a time of such change and uncertainty, this feels more important than ever.

That said, it is also of paramount importance that my photography shoots are safe. I want to reassure all my clients that ensuring safety and wellbeing is central to my work. When you book a shoot with me, you can rest assured that all appropriate precautions will be taken at every stage of the process.

To ensure that I am delivering a photography service that is COVID safe, I have adapted my practice in the following ways:

·       I am diligently following all recommended NHS guidelines i.e. regular handwashing, avoiding touching my face, practicing social distancing etc. As an additional precaution, I also monitor my temperature before and after bookings. If I were to develop symptoms before your booking, I would notify you immediately and we can agree an alternative date for your shoot. 

·       I operate in an entirely contact-free way. All communication before and after a shoot is via phone or email, and contracts can be signed digitally or sent in the post to ensure no documents are passed by hand. 

·       All my equipment and props are thoroughly cleaned ahead and after your shoot. I now work with a longer zoom lens which allows me to keep my distance while still capturing close-up, high quality images.

·       Shoots take place in a well-ventilated space that allows us to remain several metres apart. This can be at an outdoor location, in your own home if it is large enough and with windows open, or at my home studio (4mx3m) with open windows. 

·       I have PPE which I am happy to wear on request. This includes a face mask, gloves, apron and shoe coverings. 

·       I will offer verbal and visual guidance when suggesting poses to you, while remaining at a safe distance at all times. 

·       Shoots are booked several hours apart to ensure there is no crossover of appointments, meaning you will not pass or meet any other clients if coming to my home studio. 

·       All your final images will be shared with you via a digital online gallery.

For extra reassurance on COVID-19 measures, please feel to contact me to discuss any further requirements.
