Walks, Wildlife and Emails
The past six weeks have been an enjoyable blend of walking and emailing fantastic couples who’s days I am covering.

I’ve just photographed a wedding, and this coming season is busier than last year for me, which has caused an uptick in my office time. I am so excited for this year, it’s a good sign to need more time in the office!
This said, I live in Cornwall, the sun has finally been attempting an appearance and it would be criminal to not get out and about.
So between the office time, and days shooting, I’ve been doing some local walks, and spending a lot of time down by the river, watching the birds do their thing.
The Kingfisher’s have been challenging so far this year!
For me, photography is a passion, my camera is almost always with me. The world around me inspires, informs and sometimes it’s just that the light hits the landscape beautifully, and I know that if my camera wasn’t with me, I’d regret missing that moment.
This post is sprinkled with photos from a few recent walks, and moments on the river - because the other thing I love about photography, I can share the view, the moment and eventually look back on them myself.
Polperro, and on my way for a pint and Sunday lunch!
So life is taking a nice balance right now, between time with my partner, our cat, photography and getting out and about. This is something I’ve long wanted to achieve - balance, it’s why I moved to Cornwall in the first place, I want to work for myself, with goals to hit, things to achieve, and new things to try or improve upon.
Which is why I’m going to attempt shooting “reels” and other content for my social media! I’ve done this before, and some of you may well be familiar with “Chris reporting live…”. It’ll be that, but more time spent planning and editing.
Lansallos is a quiet, but pretty beach and home to a small waterfall. Always worth a visit.
It’s something I enjoyed, but also a truth about modern business - and being a photographer also means being a content creator. Don’t worry though, no dancing, or slowly lifting my camera to my face, to then suddenly blast twenty pictures I’ve taken to upbeat, but generic music…
My ethos with photography is authentic and natural, and I will try to keep that in my videos.
As I write this, the sun is out and I do have a video to shoot, so I’d best make a coffee, and attempt this.
