Cornwall showed her best side for our recent shoot with Curio Seltzer where we wanted to showcase friends enjoying being outdoors, having a good time, and embracing summers kindness.
Exploring home X Slow Tide
Early mornings, warm teas on the burner, searching for waves, camping out with friends in the vans, watching sunsets; that’s the kind of life for me. Some frames from a recent adventure exploring Cornwall feat Slow Tide
Roos Beach Fashion Lifestyle Photoshoot, Newquay, Cornwall
It’s been a fabulous few months shooting with the amazing and inspiring ladies at Roos Beach, a boutique fashion store found in the heart of Porth, Cornwall. I’ve always admired Roos wonderful style, and between her and Bex they have created a shop that is almost impossible to go into without having to re-mortgage your house because EVERYTHING is fabulous. Stocking favourite brands with the likes of American Vintage, Free People, L.F Markey and Levis, it’s always fun shooting with these ladies and capturing their amazing energy and style. The brand is about having fun, feeling confident, and inspiring women to feel happy and comfortable in the clothes they wear. I love this! These are a few images from a morning I spent with walking around Newquay shooting their latest stock arrival, pre Christmas.
Lifestyle shoot for Wild Moon Jewellery
A beautifully sunny day spent with the ever creative Kerry from Wild Moon Jewellery shooting for her up and coming website. I had two lovely local girls from Newquay as models, and Charlotte Albert on makeup, a recipe for magic to happen. One of my favourite things about my job as a photographer is to be able to help small brands bring their dreams to life visually. I spent a lot of time with Kerry working on a mood board so that I could understand exactly what she wanted from our shoot and we could obtain it on a small budget. Her hand made clay earrings are simply divine, an essential to any wardrobe to make you feel absolute fabulous!
Missing my cold water swims
I’m sitting here today at my desk reminiscing on our cold water dips, missing our group chat pinging my phone everyday with a place and time to meet. I started cold water swimming at the beginning of January this year, inspired by Sophie Hellyer’s Rise Fierce movement. It stared with just two of us here in Newquay, on a bitter January day. Verity and I met down on south Fistral, stripped off and dived into the sea. It literally takes your breath away, I’ve never felt anything like it. The next day, we were five of us. Same place, same time. As the week passed, the group grew and we were fifteen. From there, we began a WhatsApp group where anyone could join, and we’d meet at location once a week for a big group dip.
The group consisted of mainly women, well, actually all women. The Ice Queens. A group centred around empowering women, meeting new friends, and a weekly rendezvous to jump into the fiercely cold British sea, whatever the weather. I want to share with you today some photos from an amazing group of women I met through these cold water dips. They are The blue Tits, a group of fellow cold water lovers. Katie is always guaranteed to be at every dip, her zest for life and the cold water swims is infectious. In her free time she hand sews these incredible swimming bonnets, picking apart flowers and designing these statement pieces. One rendezvous I took down my camera to our favourite dip spot in the Harbour and did a quick impromptu shoot before they swam, in celebration of these incredible women; their graciousness, their passion, their smiles and their all round fabulousness.
Lifestyle photography and content creation for Kirsty - a freelance copywriter
Kirsty Hill, a freelance copywriter living in Cornwall contacted me as she needed some new photos for her website and social media. She wanted to show her natural self - a free spirited surfer, doing the things she loves.
The photo shoot
We met up at 5am for a sunrise surf where I shot her in the water. Then we took my dog Skylar for a walk followed by coffee and breakfast at her favourite vegan cafe.
Overcoming the nerves
Being in front of the camera can be daunting. Kirsty was nervous at first but quickly became more comfortable as we shared stories, laughed about things we’ve done and chatted about life as freelancers. I really enjoyed her company and I’m so happy that I captured her organically and naturally. I watched her confidence shine throughout the shoot and love that I helped her feel more comfortable in front of the lens.
Testimonial from Kirsty
Kirsty loved the shots and and gave me this lovely feedback:
“Evie’s an incredibly talented photographer. Her style’s unique and I knew she was perfect to capture my brand story. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and captured me looking completely natural. She’s also a lovely soul and I can’t wait to shoot with her again!”
