Cornwall shoot for Huers Clothing Co

As my third shoot for Huers, I was really looking forward to getting out, exploring Cornwall and trying out their new cold-weather clothing. Waking up at 3am wasn’t my favourite part of the day however, but I got ready and made some sausage sandwiches for the car ride nonetheless. Our first stop was Godrevy Lighthouse - a stunning sandy beach with dramatic cliffs and crystal clear blue water, along with the view of the lighthouse in the distance. Watching the sunrise whilst walking along the beach was beautiful, and it surprisingly wasn’t actually too cold either. I wore a black top of theirs at this location, which was really comfy and contrasted well with the background I think.

Our next location was St Agnes Head, which I’ve been to many times before, but it never gets boring. The view from the cliff is just gorgeous: crashing waves, paths along the cliff, and blue sea. There was a larger group than usual, so Will managed to get a larger range of photos in loads of different clothing. As always, I took my hoodie that I wear on a daily basis to keep warm, and so we got quite a few photos of that too.

After St Agnes, we headed down to Holywell Beach - Another sandy beach with large sand dunes, tufts of grass around and dramatic ocean views. It unfortunately did start to drizzle intermittently but we still managed to get loads of great photos of the hats, tops and jumpers. They’ve recently introduces some new beanie hats and more of the bobble hats that definitely keep your head warm in the cold winters we usually have!

Port Isaac was our last location, and what a location it was. Famous for being the filming place of Doc Martin, there’s always tourists there coming to get a glimpse of the iconic filming locations, but for us the best parts were the pebbled beach and tiny Cornish streets. I changed my top into a white one with a little seagull logo on it. The tops are lightweight enough to be breathable, but also keep you warm.

Overall, this was a very successful photoshoot full of a large range of locations, clothing and different photos. A photoshoot for Huers is always enjoyable and well worth the trip down to Cornwall for. Check out their instagram (@huersclothingco) or their website: www.huersclothingco.com

Boscastle shoot with @chrisfrithphoto

Chris and I 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 Will and I always tend to go to when we visit seeing as though they taste delicious and are very needed after a day of walking around.
