Whilst working on a week-long project in the Lake District back in 2017, Storm Doris was forecast to pass over the UK. The final day of the project the storm passed over through the night. We started shooting later that day so I took the opportunity to get out onto the hills for sunrise. Photographing after a storm can be particularly magical due to all the moisture in the air catching light from the low sun, moody clouds and lots of contrast.
I went out that morning to see the hills surrounding the town of Keswick capped off in a fresh layer of snow. Always a beautiful sight in the Lakes, giving it a gorgeous alpine feel.
My location of choice this morning was the summit of Cat Bells. Usually a super popular walk in the area, but as I was up well before sunrise, I didn’t encounter a single other person.
I came away with 3 shots that include some of my favourite from all my trips to the area. In particular a couple of mountain portraits with beautiful light and moody clouds. You can see my images from the outing below.

A client had requested we complete a shoot with more of a lifestyle focus than the usual almost-empty kitchens we photograph. Therefore for this project, we hired a group of fantastic models to help sell the idea. The subject was a beautiful traditionally designed shaker kitchen with blue cabinets and bespoke furniture.
