Tunes Festivals

I am part of the photography team shooting for the Tunes Festival Series in 2023. I am working with them once again to cover the 2024 events. The images below are from the recent Tunes in the Dunes festival. Capturing the live acts, the enjoyment of the crowd and the amazing sunsets is always a pleasure. Alongside which I shoot the surfing, wild swimming and yoga that happens in the morning as part of the wellness events.

Fourth element

I have worked with Fourth Element on numerous shoots over the last five years. The first was their Ocean Positive lifestyle collection which we shot in Cornwall and the second was for their Heritage Collection and new range of dry suits which was shot out in Iceland. I loved working and travelling with the fantastic team, to get the shots required. It was fantastic being able to work with the light and dramatic landscapes out in Iceland. One of the most challenging shots was achieving the superhero group shot which was needed for a huge billboard at Fourth Elements stand at the DEMA trade show in America. The rain was torrential and the models were brilliant resulting in the shot being achieved. Lastly I have worked on their 2020 summer collection which is out now.

“Clare is always a joy to work with, endless energy and enthusiasm and will work tirelessly hard to get the shot you need. She’s got a great editing style and an special eye for finding the perfect light.”

Emma Baines, Visual Brand Manager Fourth Element

SEA CHANGE WINE

Working with ethical, sustainable companies is something that is important to me, one of my recent clients Sea Change Wine fits this bill they have reduced the use of plastic in their products removing unnecessary packaging and using bio-degradeable labels also a percentage of their profits go to marine conservation charities. Worked in a variety of locations from beach and alfresco picnic shoots, enjoyed planning and styling the shoots, choosing models and locations and styling models where required.

Feel Good Drinks

A delightful brand to work with capturing their refreshing drinks in different environments, out on the beach and coast path, at festivals and events. Loved planning and organising these shoots styling models and finding suitable locations where needed.

FINISTERRE

I was asked to do the photography for one of Finisterre’s Broadcast articles about winter surfing in Cornwall. I enjoyed capturing the spirit of winter surfing to reflect the article that was written. The photo of the 3 girls in red hats was the best performing post on instagram at the time and about a year later is still in the top 5 highest performing posts.

Bird Sunglasses

Capturing the sunglasses on an array of models in an array of locations in February was challenging, finding sunshine but it eventually popped out.

Bespoke Surf

Working from my home studio I can offer product shoots. I enjoyed shooting these pieces of surf inspired furniture, locally handcrafted mirrors, decorative boards, shelves and candleholders for Bespoke Surf

Srface

I am an ambassador and photographer for Srface wetsuits. The warmest winter suit I have ever owned for both surfing and shooting in water, fits well, very flexible and comfortable. So warm I actually look forward to getting in the sea during the winter now sometimes two times a day! Check out their Insta here.

OdYssey innovation

I work with Rob at Odyssey Innovation on a weekly basis, doing an array of work photographing products, events, press photos, lifestyle photos, in-water photo. Crowdfunder videos for new products and have been published in 3 magazines telling the story of his work.

"If you're like me and you a vision of what you want but have difficulty trying to articulate it and lack of technical abilities to excute it, then you need a Clare in your life. She's a creative, patient, passionate, professional who's a real pleasure to work with."

Rob Thompson, Director

I love the seaside

I Love the Seaside is a Surf and Travel Guide, with three major editions already published the 4th in development now. I am new to the Team and once again working alongside writer Lottie Lewis on the UK version. We spent the summer exploring and photographing Devon and Cornwall. My role is to provide images for the publication, which is due to be released in June.

GREENS OF PADSTOW

I have had the pleasure of working with the beautiful restaurant Greens of Padstow twice in the last few months. Firstly to photograph the restaurant, food and mini golf and recently to capture the festive atmosphere of the Padstow xmas market, live music and the Firework display.

I work closely with Greens copywriter and social media planner Lottie Lewis

”Clare offers a relaxed and professional service that I would definitely use again and recommend to others. Her personality is one that puts the client at ease, she listens carefully to our requests and always delivers superb images.” 

Sarah Mably, Manager

On receiving a phone call from Portugal, I was instantly excited to be asked to shoot these Dry Bags in English waters. In order to get captivating images to grip the UK audience. Photographing products in water is a challenge I love as the light, conditions and locations are so important in getting the right shot.

“Clare was an absolute pleasure to work with. She understood the brief well and her calm, approachable persona mixed with her love and passion for photography & video in the water delivered us some great results. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.”

Ben Ridding, Director

RetrospeCced

I received a brief from Lucy at Retrospecced to shoot lifestyle images off the frames on a beach and in a cafe. We dodged the rain and had lots of fun getting the shots required.

"We found it an absolute delight to work with Clare - she's incredibly professional and efficient, puts everyone at ease, and produces beautiful shots. I would recommend her to anyone, and can't wait to work with her again!"

Lucy Crane, Director

Dandelion surfboards

Shooting both in and out of water for Dandelion Surfboards was lots of fun. An inspiring Cornish brand the boards are ecoboards, check them out. The shaper is fantastic and the models also great to work with.
