Sometimes I find the most rewarding photo-shoots take place on an exchange basis. Throughout the summer, my family and I usually spend our nights under the stars at festivals, where I take images in exchange for family tickets and the odd bit of grub. 

Due to these all being cancelled this year, I decided to get in touch with some local models and test my creative portraiture skills. This time the exchange was to benefit both of our portfolios with new imagery. I've done five photo-shoots in all and was delighted to have four of them feature in different fashion/portrait magazines. 

I've yet to share these anywhere other than on my newish portrait portfolio on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/swayingsecrets/ 

Please go and check it out and give me a follow. 

I love working with people, giving occasional direction and working with nature to get unique imagery. I hope that this is just the beginning of a new creative photography journey. 

I aim to broaden my portfolio and not be so female gender based by working with people of all ages, to mix it up a bit. Do get in touch if you’re interested.
