Faces With Presence
Some people photograph well because they are polished.
Others photograph well because they are real.
That is the kind of portrait I am interested in.
Faces with character. Eyes that have seen things. People with humour, style, history, work, scars, confidence, doubt, oddness, beauty, awkwardness, strength.
Not perfect faces.
Interesting ones.
I am now booking portrait sittings in North Devon for people who want something more lasting than a phone picture.
A sitting is simple. You arrive. We talk. You settle. I photograph you properly.
No forced posing. No fake lifestyle act. No trying to make you look like everyone else.
The aim is to make a portrait that feels like you — but stronger, clearer, and worth keeping.
For artists. Writers. Business owners. Local characters. Couples. Families. Founders. Performers. People with a story.
Studio-style or location-based.
If you have ever thought, “I should have a proper portrait taken,” this is probably the time.
Message SITTING for details.
