Appley Beach – Isle of Wight – Portrait Photographer

Chloe’s a simmering mix of bright positivity and humour.

A clever combination that’s easy to connect with. A beacon of happiness, open and honest with a hint of confidence.

Worried about the parking attendants, I park haphazardly calling out for Chloe to jump in quick. Driving through the streets of Ryde, giggling nervously we greet each other for the first time. Sharing common stories of our mutual friend and model, Megan (see her session here and here)

Chloe’s hesitant. A talented makeup artist, she hadn’t considering modelling until I coaxed her in front of the camera. Accepting my challenge to model with confidence, a certainty blossoms in her gaze. The result? A resounding success.

Because Chloe understands the importance of crafting an image – she’s an artist herself. A quick exchange before we meet, “let’s get together”. And magic happens.

Even the most confident need a helping hand. Someone to guide you with humour and encouragement, injecting character and expression into your photos. Easing those camera jitters into spontaneous poses that reveal a genuine connection.

Chloe’s story is a simple one. Makeup, music and drawing. A canny combination. Delivered with flair.

If there’s one thing I learnt during our session. Chloe’s calmness and certainty makes her a firm favourite, especially with her friends. She ‘gets it’ and goes out of her way to support other women. Making life upbeat and sharing her story through artistic sketches.

Had a fantastic photoshoot with Amanda today! Was very professional and friendly and we managed to have a laugh about the light reflectors working against us and the parking arrangement. Had a variety of shots and I was guided very well to create brilliant shots which I am best pleased with! Will definitely work with Amanda again in the future! Thank you x
