Recently I did some work for a great clothing company called Boomer and Jen where I went to Abbeyford Woods in Okehampton, and to Exeter to get a set of 10 photos, some of which I would post on my Instagram page. Will Lamerton came on the shoots and took the photos for me, which was lovely of him.
Boomer and Jen is an organic clothing company which focus on sustainable 100% cotton clothing. They’re based in Devon, so the fact that they were local and have a great ethos made me want to work with them. I was so happy when they reached out to me as from a first glance I could tell they were a great brand. Their clothing designs are also great and promote messages of environmental friendliness; they have a range of clothes for men, women and kids, along with some reusable bags as well, which are always useful.
We chose Abbeyford woods for one of the shoot locations, as it links into the sustainable natural side of the brand, and it is just such a beautiful area of Devon. It’s quite a small forest but is perfect for photoshoots seeing as though theres a road nearby, so it is easy to get to, and it is fairly flat ground. The trees are also really tall and look great in the background of pictures. Luckily it wasn’t too cold the day of the shoot, and wasn’t raining like it usually does in the UK!
We chose Exeter as the other location for the photos, specifically Gandy Street due to the colourful buildings and unique shops around. I do a lot of shoots in Gandy Street due to just how different each building is to the next so you can get so many different photos in just one location. This building specifically is a restaurant that has beautiful teal walls and little plant pots in the windows which make for a really nice backdrop.
If you have a chance, you should definitely check out Boomer and Jen on their Instagram (@boomerandjen_organic_clothing) or on their website (www.organiccottonclothing.co.uk). Also, thanks to Will for the photos so check him out on Instagram too (@willlamerton).
