"REAL" - Join The Project With A Free Portrait Session

There’s something endlessly fascinating about real people. The stories written into their faces, the marks of laughter, hard work, and life well lived.

That’s what REAL is all about - a personal photography project celebrating people just as they are.

I’m building a new portfolio of portraits that focus on character, not perfection.

I’m looking for people with freckles, scars, wrinkles, tattoos, calloused hands, missing features, or simply a story to tell. Every mark, every feature, every difference is part of what makes us who we are – and that’s exactly what I want to capture.

These portraits will be taken completely free of charge for a limited time, right here at Artemys Studios in Pembroke Dock, as part of an ongoing project that will eventually become a studio exhibition and a printed photo book.

You don’t need any experience in front of a camera... in fact, the less polished the better. All you need to do is turn up, be yourself, and let me photograph you as you are.

If you’re interested, send me a message on WhatsApp or Facebook and I’ll get back to you. On the day, there’ll be a short permission form to sign, allowing your photo to be used for the REAL project - including future portfolio showcases and award submissions.

This isn’t about flawless lighting or airbrushed smiles. It’s about honesty. Strength. Humanity.

It’s about people who’ve lived. If that sounds like you, I’d love to photograph you.
