No posing, a little gentle encouragement and direction, but mostly observation, conversation and the occasional sound of a shutter. Natural smiles, meaningful interactions and otherwise unseen moments. These are the core elements of  documentary style photoshoots. If the thought of saying ‘cheese’ through gritted teeth into a camera makes you cringe then we will definitely get along! I prefer to capture real connections. Sometimes this means suggesting interactions and  conversations. Sometimes it means simply standing back and observing, only taking photos when the magical moments appear (which they always do when given the space!).
