Something very different for me. After 10 years of ballet photography I finally shot with a male ballet dancer. Over time I will share some more images with you.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The difference with models trying to do ballet & an actual professional ballet dancer is very obvious. The positions, physique, technique just to mention a few.

Taken a few weeks ago visiting Lake Garda, Italy 🇮🇹.

As I arrived it was sunny & then the weather turned & a storm was brewing. Walking past a puddle & the boats docked, I saw a break in the sky. Capturing this shot was just meant to be.

I recently visited Venice, Italy 🇮🇹

Loved every single moment of it, from the puddles on the ground to the canals & architecture of Venice.

Maybe next time I need to take a ballerina. 🩰

The ballet work I do takes time.

If I rush something will be not right. Two of these shots took me two years to plan!! Which two? Have a guess.

Shooting ballet in London.

Lucky the clouds were present to add a little mood to this image with the Shard.

This image captures a serene landscape in Lytham, with expansive skies filled with soft, fluffy clouds. In the foreground, a cluster of rocks is visible, surrounded by shallow water, hinting at the low tide. It’s a beautiful representation of Mother Natures beauty.

Hi Mum,
I know you're finally free from pain & watching over all of us. I'm truly grateful you're at peace now, but your absence has left a deep void that's hard to bear. Each day feels different the mood shifts, & I’ve seen Dad and my siblings cry more than once.
Yesterday, we all went

Good morning,
Currently in Scotland but a storm is passing through. So I won’t be out taking photos today.

Yesterday I met this chap Angus, what a friendly beast. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This image captures a stunning sunset over a serene coastal landscape. The sky is ablaze with vibrant hues of orange, yellow, and deep blue, with dramatic, wispy clouds adding texture and depth.

The mountains in Switzerland 🇨🇭 are just on another level.

Would I climb them no, I will stick to Ben Nevis & Snowdon in the UK.

Respect these mountains that’s my advice.

I was out location hunting a few days ago for a ballet shoot.

I saw Tower Bridge glowing so I had to take this shot.

For me ballet is about:

Ballet - Core strength
Ballet - Discipline
Ballet - Commitment
Ballet - Strength
Ballet - Dedication

Ballet is more than just legs & feet, the hands & arms also play a huge part of a story. Not forgetting the face expressions.

Love capturing the beauty of ballet.

Here poses Zuzanna, that shows pure strength of a ballerina, with natural light on her back.

Nothing like a stunning sunset with a reflection & dramatic clouds.

You always get a nice sunset on the North West coast of England.

Good morning,

Another beautiful & favourite spot of mine is up in the northwest. Whenever I visit my parents the canon SLR is always by my side.

These kind of sunsets are unique & breathtaking. Would you agree?
