We decided to go to Boscastle in Cornwall for this shoot. It’s a beautiful location, due to being a quaint little village, with small streets, gorgeous views and a cute, little river running through the entirety of the village, leading into the harbour and hence the sea. I first went to Boscastle a few years ago, but have been plenty of times in the past year with Will, as it’s a place you can go to many times and not get bored of. There’s so many cliff paths to walk across and bits of the village to explore that you really can stay for hours there.
Me and Chris chose Boscastle to go to seeing as though it’s a bit different from other places he had been to, as he does most of his photography in more urban areas around London - Boscastle, of course, is nothing like that. It was a raining a little when we got there unfortunately, but it soon cleared up a bit and there were a few rays of sun poking through the clouds, which created some nice aspects to the photos.
I changed outfits a few times to get a variety of photos, going with more neutral tones like brown, navy and grey to match the landscape. All in all, the huge size of the cliffs and surrounding landscapes made me look quite small, which is fairly different to the rest of the photos on my page, but still really interesting and created a unique depth to the photos.
Chris was a great photographer to work with - very easy to talk to and a really interesting character. Will also came along for this shoot, and they also seemed to get along very well which was nice. Will actually pointed us out to the best locations in Boscastle when we initially arrived, so we went to those and then found some others too.
I was quite happy with how the photos turned out. We got a range of them in different locations, with slightly different undertones, which meant they didn’t look too similar on my Instagram page, but still looked like they were from the same photographer, which is a feature I like to achieve on my Instagram feed.
We ended the day with a nice burger from a little burger, fish and chip shop in Boscastle that me and Will always tend to go to when we visit seeing as though they taste delicious and is very needed after a day of walking around.
