  5. very old cropped image from some sort of event or wedding!

My number 1 tip on how to relax in front of the camera - Sussex brand portrait photographer

March 9, 2021

I see so many of my clients holding their breath during the photo & filming session and one of my roles is to gently remind them to pause and take a deep breath.

Fear of facing the camera? How to overcome it for your professional photo session - UK Portrait photographer

October 12, 2020

Being in front of the camera can be intimating for some people, and if you are a little camera shy like me (yes, I also get shy in front of the camera) being in nature can help you to feel much more relaxed and peaceful.

Nature has this beautiful quality which helps you to slow down and to disconnect from your busy lifestyle. I take a full advantage of this personally and during photoshoot with my clients.
