In this illuminating maternity photography workshop in Kettering, you'll learn how to create stunning high-key and low-key images using minimal lighting setups. You'll master the art of directing your model, incorporating props and materials to craft unique looks, and utilising studio dresses to enhance your shots.
Stepping into the world of maternity photography might seem daunting, but this hands-on workshop will equip you with the skills and confidence to capture beautiful, emotive images. Whether you're a novice or looking to refine your techniques, this class offers valuable insights for all skill levels.
The workshop unfolds in a practical, engaging format. You'll observe as the instructor sets up five distinct lighting scenarios, including one using two lights. Then, you'll have the opportunity to put your newfound knowledge into practice:

Throughout the class, you'll work with professional lighting equipment, a variety of props, and fabrics to create ethereal, flowing dresses. You'll learn how to guide your model into flattering poses that highlight the beauty of pregnancy.

A professional photographer for 10 years, an artist for decades.
My craft has mostly been about connecting with people to bring out the best in them in front of the lens to create natural and compelling images.
* BA (Hon’s) in Media with Cultural Studios.
* City and Guilds in Photography
In the last year I have began to share my knowledge and mentor those new to photography in my studio in Kettering and I can’t wait to educate more in the field of studio family, headshot and beauty photography.
A little more about me:
My journey behind the camera commenced with a Photography A Level, where I delved into the art of film and the intricate process of darkroom editing. As the digital age unfolded, I wholeheartedly embraced its possibilities, embarking on a transformative path that forever changed the way I perceived photography and people and why an image is an important visual legacy, empowerment tool and for showing love.
I’ve been lucky enough for my commercial work to feature in a couple of magazines, one of which includes photographs I took of Ewan McGregor for Hayburner Magazine in 2024.
I’ve decided to teach to pass on any skills I have in capturing the essence of personality in an image and creating art that will last for a lifetime.
