Commercial & brand

Imagery built around your business — your people, your products, your place. The photos that make your website and socials unmistakably yours.

Aerial & drone

Sweeping views your customers have never seen — coastlines, venues, land and property, all captured from the air in crisp detail.

Underwater & water sports

Surf, swim, sail or snorkel — we shoot in and under the water, from Cornish breaks to Caribbean reefs.

Lifestyle & events

Natural, unposed photography of real moments — retreats, launches, workshops and days that deserve remembering.

Night sky & astro

Milky Way skies and starlit landscapes — the showstopper shots that make people stop and stare.

Travel & destination

Resorts, retreats and tourism brands — we travel light, shoot fast and bring back imagery that sells the destination.

Wellness & retreats

Photography & film for the wellness industry.

Wellness is a feeling — and that's exactly what your imagery has to capture. Sunrise yoga on the sand, breathwork on a clifftop, the calm of a treatment room: we photograph and film it naturally, without staging, so the people looking at your website feel it before they've read a word.

  • Yoga studios & teachers
  • Retreats & retreat venues
  • Spas & wellbeing spaces
  • Surf, swim & cold water
  • Gyms, Pilates & movement
  • Therapists & practitioners

How a shoot works

Simple from brief to delivery.

1

Tell us the brief

What's it for, where is it, what feeling should it give? A quick chat is all we need to quote.

2

We plan it

Locations, light, tides and timings — we do the homework so shoot day runs smoothly.

3

Shoot day

Relaxed and unhurried, on land, in the air or in the water. You'll barely notice the camera.

4

Edit & delivery

Hand-edited, high-resolution images ready for your website, social media and print.

Good to know

Questions we're often asked.

Do you only shoot in Cornwall?

No — Cornwall is home, but we shoot worldwide. Recent work spans the UK, Antigua & Barbuda, Costa Rica, Croatia, New Zealand and the Philippines. If your story is somewhere else, we'll come to it.

What kinds of photography do you offer?

Commercial and brand photography, lifestyle and events, aerial drone, underwater and water sports, night sky and travel imagery — plus video and film if you need moving pictures too.

How much does a shoot cost?

It depends on the brief, the location and how long we're shooting, so we give a clear fixed quote up front with no surprises. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll price it for you.

Can we use the photos anywhere?

Yes — your images are delivered edited, in high resolution and ready for your website, social media and print, for you to use across your marketing.

Do you shoot video as well?

We do — promos, product films and aerial footage. Many clients book photography and video together so one shoot covers everything.

Do you work with the wellness industry?

Yes — wellness is one of our specialities. We photograph and film yoga studios, retreats, spas, gyms and wellbeing practitioners, in Cornwall and at retreat venues worldwide.

Let's capture something brilliant.
