Kirka — Highgate Cemetery

A set-piece fantasy portrait created on location with daylight, flash and reflectors. Kirka designed the clothes and created the hair, make-up and character herself.

Part portrait, part fashion, part theatre.

I’m looking for local men with beards for Appledore Beards, a new portrait project by Ray Smith.

Portraits can be taken in my studio or on location in and around Appledore.

If you’ve got a beard with character — and a face to match — get in touch: [email protected]

I’ve bought myself a Mamiya C220 — a camera I used and loved when I first started taking photographs. Now with 80mm and 180mm lenses, plus an eye-level finder coming from Japan. Slower, more considered photography. Looking forward to sharing new pictures soon.

Rose After Dark

Hard colour, deep shadow and a flash of glamour in the garden. A rose transformed into something theatrical, seductive and slightly dangerous.

Japanese anemones arrive just as many summer flowers begin to fade. Their delicate pink or white blooms thrive in partial shade, flower into autumn and bring a final burst of colour to the garden.
