Modelling in Devon & Cornwall
I’m based in Plymouth and work with first-time models across Devon, Cornwall, and Torbay. Shoots are planned locally, using quiet outdoor locations and a calm, structured approach that suits people who are new to being photographed.
Sessions are paced carefully, with clear guidance and planning in advance. Locations, travel, and comfort are discussed beforehand, allowing the shoot to run smoothly without unnecessary pressure.
First-Time Modelling in a Local Setting
Starting out in modelling can feel unfamiliar, particularly when you have not been photographed before. These sessions are designed to move at a steady pace, allowing time to adjust to the camera and the environment without pressure.
Most shoots take place outdoors across Devon and Cornwall, including Torbay and the Plymouth area. Quieter locations are used so the setting supports the session rather than distracting from it.
Clear guidance is provided throughout, and the session develops gradually. This allows adjustments to be made as the shoot progresses, rather than following a fixed or rushed format.
The Types of Shoots Available in Devon and Cornwall
Shoots are planned around outdoor locations and natural light, with the shoot type agreed clearly in advance.
Most sessions take place at sunrise or early morning, when light is softer, colours are cleaner, and locations are quieter.
Colour and environment play an important role in the work.
Natural tones, textures, and surroundings are used deliberately rather than relying on flat or heavily muted styling.
Urban Portraits
Urban portrait shoots use streets, walls, steps, and architectural features as simple, graphic backdrops.
These sessions suit people who want a modern, direct look without the formality of a studio environment.
Urban locations allow for strong lines, contrast, and texture while keeping the focus on the subject rather than the setting.
Environmental Portraits
Environmental portraits place you within the landscape rather than against it.
Coastal paths, open countryside, woodland edges, and open spaces across Devon and Cornwall are commonly used.
These shoots work well for people who prefer natural surroundings and images that feel grounded in place rather than staged.
Fitness Shoots
Fitness shoots focus on form, strength, and controlled movement rather than performance or exaggeration.
Sessions are planned carefully to suit experience level, ability, and location.
Natural light is used throughout, avoiding studio lighting and artificial effects.
The emphasis is on clean lines, structure, and physical presence rather than action or intensity.
Wedding Dress / Trash the Dress Shoots
These shoots are for people who have a wedding dress and want to get some amazing images of themselves wearing it in stunning locations throughout Devon and Cornwall.
Trash the Dress photoshoots are for letting go, releasing anger, and generally having fun getting the dress covered in mud, drenched in the sea, or even tearing it apart.
You bring the dress, I’ll work my magic.
Swimwear Shoots
Swimwear shoots are planned around suitable outdoor locations and appropriate conditions.
Timing, privacy, and access are considered carefully, with expectations agreed clearly in advance.
These sessions focus on clean styling and natural light rather than busy or crowded environments.
Lingerie Shoots
Lingerie photography is available strictly for adults aged 18 and over.
Sessions are planned in detail beforehand, with boundaries, styling, and location suitability agreed prior to booking.
The focus is on controlled lighting, composition, and comfort rather than performance or expectation.
Artistic Nude Photography
Artistic nude photography is strictly for adults aged 18 and over.
These sessions focus on form, light, shape, and composition rather than explicit content.
All artistic nude shoots are planned carefully and only undertaken where appropriate, with clear discussion in advance about boundaries and intent.
Other shoot types can be discussed where they fit the same outdoor, natural-light approach and are suitable for both the individual and the chosen location.
Outdoor Locations and Natural Light
Shoots are planned around outdoor locations that offer space, privacy, and consistent natural light. Coastal paths, quieter beaches, and rural areas across Devon and Cornwall are commonly used, including locations near Torbay and Plymouth.
Early morning and early evening sessions are often preferred, as these times reduce foot traffic and provide softer lighting. This helps keep the environment controlled and allows the session to progress without interruption.
Locations are selected in advance, taking access, privacy, and comfort into account, rather than relying on busy or unpredictable settings.
Planning and Practical Details
Each shoot is planned before the session takes place. This includes discussing location, timing, clothing, and any specific concerns, so there are no uncertainties on the day.
Travel, access, and suitability of locations are considered in advance, particularly for outdoor shoots across Devon and Cornwall. This helps avoid unnecessary delays and keeps the session focused.
The aim of this planning stage is to ensure the shoot runs smoothly, with clear expectations and no pressure to make decisions during the session itself.
What to Expect From a Local Modelling Shoot
Modelling in Devon and Cornwall is approached in a straightforward, practical way. Shoots are planned around local outdoor locations, with timing and access considered in advance to avoid busy or unpredictable environments.
The focus is on keeping the session manageable for someone new to being photographed. Direction is clear, the pace is controlled, and there is no requirement to perform or present yourself in a particular way.
Because shoots are arranged locally, travel, locations, and suitability can be discussed clearly before anything is booked. This helps ensure the session is appropriate and runs without unnecessary pressure.
Booking and Next Steps
If you are considering becoming a model and would like your first photoshoot, the first step is an initial discussion. This allows us to confirm suitability, outline options, and agree boundaries before anything is booked.
Sessions are arranged individually rather than through an automated booking system. This ensures the shoot is appropriate, clearly defined, and planned properly before a date is confirmed.
