Sleeping Beauty Panto Promo – Princess Theatre, Torquay
It’s that time of year again! Jordan Productions invited me back to photograph the dress rehearsal for their 2025 Christmas Pantomime, but this time there was a little twist; they also wanted a full day of promotional photos and plenty of behind-the-scenes coverage.

When you work as a photographer, you get used to things changing last minute. Timings, locations, lighting conditions, it’s all part of the job. But every now and then, you get a shoot that starts as “just a quick two hours on a gentle fishing boat” and somehow turns into an unexpected 7-hour high-speed marine adventure.

Celebrating One Year of DaysDayOut: A Graffiti Tunnel Revisit
One year ago, I launched my YouTube channel, DaysDayOut, not knowing just how much it would grow in such a short time.

What better way to mark this milestone than by recreating one of my very first videos; the graffiti tunnel photoshoot in Newton Abbot?

Braving Storm Darragh for a Memorable Event at HMS Raleigh
Sometimes, photography isn’t just about capturing moments; it’s about the journey, determination, and occasionally, weathering a literal storm to get the shot. A fairly recent event photography assignment at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall was a testament to that.

Event photographer for Wignall’s 25th Anniversary at the Imperial Hotel, Torquay.
I do enjoy photographing black tie events, gala balls, and corporate parties. When I was asked to photograph the 25th anniversary of a local company, I couldn’t say no!

A personal night-time Motorbike Photoshoot in Torquay, Devon.
It has been quite a while since I last went out with my cameras and did a personal project. My Son William is at College and he has a number of friends who he’s done motorbike photoshoots for, but never at night. I wanted to try a couple of night-time ideas and this is how it went.

Event photographer for a Murder Mystery Evening at the Stage One venue, in the Palace Theatre, Paignton
This is only the second Murder Mystery evening I’ve been to but I wish I’d been to more. This was a wonderful evening of fun, entertainment, food, and drink. Let’s take a look at how the evening went, and what to expect at a Murder Mystery Event. I also took my new Sony A7IV with me and pushed the limits to see what it was capable of.
