Reasons to consider a photoshoot:


1: Photoshoots are not just about the imagery - as amazing as it is - it's also about the experience: creating memories with the people you love in the breathtaking, surreal light of the French Riviera.


2:Go somewhere new: on a photoshoot you'll almost certain to escape the crowds and go to spots that aren't mentioned in travel guides or online. I'm always on the lookout for beautiful, secluded spots, and I know the best ways to get there, and how visiting could integrate into your plans.


3: Value for money: Most of the money spent on vacation is used up on fleeting moments - meals, tours, drinks; but photography will last forever, with beautiful images bringing decades of joy - especially if you use them to decorate your home or create a photo album.


4: Stuck for Christmas presents? Photo albums or prints are perfect for birthday or Christmas gifts for loved ones and relatives - especially those who are hard to buy for. And photoshoots are can also be amazing and unique gifts in themselves...

A friendly approach, with no awkward posing

My relaxed, natural-feeling imagery doesn't rely on awkward poses. Many people are naturally introverted in front of the camera but I have the experience and know-how to put people at ease, work at their pace, and find ways to ensure they render beautifully in their imagery. I take special care to capture couple's chemistry and have a photoshoot program that encourages couples and families to interact, chat, laugh, and relax in ways that are natural and spontaneous.



Creating beautiful images is my passion and I take my work incredibly seriously - I always take the time to make sure everyone who works with me gets the results they love. Unless requested otherwise, images are treated with a warm, vintage feel, often with some grain. I'm not a fan of imagery looking too 'digital' and prefer a warmer, more analogue look.

About Me

I’m a British photographer based in Nice who offers fun, easy-going photoshoots based around clients’ dream photography.


Photo sessions are always relaxed, informal, and dynamic; requiring no awkward posing. Costs are transparent and up-front, and I’m not the type to clock-watch or complicate things with hidden fees or up-selling – I simply show up, have a friendly chat, and set about taking the kind of imagery clients want.


A father of two and an experienced wedding and family photographer with two children of my own, I’ve the know-how and patience to work with even the most introverted and shy individuals – working within their comfort zone and at their pace to create imagery they never knew possible. I'm bilingual, speaking English and French, and take my work very seriously, creating artwork with the beauty and magic to last a lifetime.

Pricing and Reservation

There’s no deposit with this type of photoshoot and booking is as easy as contacting me (on WhatsApp, for example: +33753721892, or via email, agreeing on a time and location, and staying in touch. If the weather’s a problem on the day, I’ll be as flexible as I can and will be happy to move your photoshoot to another date at no extra expense.


  • 2023/24 prices are set at 299 Euros per photography session. Typically, payment happens after the photoshoot, but before final image delivery.


  • I'm registered self-employed in France and can take payments in a range of currencies including Euros, British pounds, US, Canadian, New Zealand, and Australian dollars.


If you make contact I'm happy to advise you on the best locations suited to the type of imagery you want, considering factors like accessibility, the number of potential tourists in the area, your existing travel plans, transport, weather conditions, and so on. Organising things in places you've never been is difficult, so I'm always happy to give advice on practical things such as transport, in addition to what clothes to wear, colours to avoid, and any other advice I can think of. Consultations usually take the form of video or phone calls on WhatsApp.
