Portrait Photography, Isle of Wight

Isle of Wight Window Lit Portraits

Window Light Portraits in Ryde

Having fun – it’s vital to my photography.

Back against the wall, standing amongst paint pots, ribbons of wallpaper whispering at our feet.

Charlotte’s a firm favourite, a friend of the family who asked if I could take her photograph in a house she’s renovating.

Space was tight. Crouching in a corner I realised Charlotte’s view was not an attractive one – a double chin forming as I held the camera flush against the wall. I couldn’t even see where I was focusing.

Two photographers contacted me this week, seeking advice …. wanting to know my recipe for natural portraits. People forget that I create beautiful portraits amongst the tatters of neglected corners.Isle of Wight headshot Smiling head shot in Ryde

The real secret to my photography is my ability to laugh at myself.

Did I help the two photographers who reached out to me? You bet. Both had a two-page mentorship plan, free of charge. Why? Because I believe in supporting others and empowering women.

A third photographer got in touch at the end of the week, “your crop is too tight”. He was right. I messed up. Another friend who’s brave enough to tell me bitter truths and is unstintingly generous with advice.

If you’re viewing these photos and would love a flattering photo of yourself … take time to look after yourself! I’m not talking about visiting a day spa, promising yourself you’ll lose weight or buying a new outfit.Isle of Wight window portraitsIsle of Wight window lit portraitsGirl looking out of an Isle of Wight town houseI’m talking about making yourself happy.

Start doing something new that you enjoy, discover a new corner of the island and go on a little adventure. Practice a new hobby, get away somewhere, hang out with friends …. spend time laughing. Then your photographs will shine.

The true beauty in these photographs is Charlotte herself … her confidence, her positivity, and her determination to make life happen. Ryde-Photographer-Natural-Portrait-1
