Gara Rock, Devon
I have been photographing the brilliant restaurant and spa interiors designed by Kendall Kingscott for the newly-built Gara Rock development right down on the tip of South Devon… a lovely area with a fantastic secret (ish) beach and a cliff top location to die for! We have fond memories of the old hotel with its wood-panelled bar which hinted at a more glamorous past and where we used to stop for a quick pint after traipsing up the hill from the beach – a perfect spot to catch your breath and take in the fabulous views and sunsets.
The team from the nearby Millbrook Inn at South Pool have taken over the restaurant, and the food is, by all accounts, great. The interiors are industrial/contemporary with lots of barn wood being used to clad the walls. Much of the furniture was designed and built in the area and there’s a real emphasis on keeping everything ‘local, honest and sustainable’. Sleek tables and sky blue chairs with funky retro lights above lend the place a clean, airy and distinctly modern feel. Very refreshing when one may have expected to find New England style cladding and overdone ‘nautical accessories’ – this place is much cooler than that!

East Prawle Cricket Club
A perfect day for the ‘President’s Match’ at East Prawle; there was sun, there were fours galore and there was a barbeque… everything seems well with the world when watching village cricket from the boundary…

East Prawle Jubilee celebrations, 2012
Quintessential English scenes at the East Prawle Jubilee Fair on Monday – even the sun had his hat on. Old-fashioned swing boats, hit-the-rat, soak-the-rogue, mounds of gorgeous homemade cakes, a tombola and, one of the highlights, a very well attended dog show. See picture of Zippy (that’s the owner) below and his elderly alsatian who romped (limped) home with second prize in the veterans’ class.

Overbecks Garden, National Trust, Devon
Garden Photography at Overbecks, general view
Tulip, Overbecks, Devon, National Trust
Its a beautiful time of year down at this garden on the south coast of Devon. I normally think of it as a late summer ‘spectacular’, but its good at any time. These were photographed early morning in April… a beautiful garden overlooking Salcombe estuary… all the ingredients to make for a good days garden photography!

Keeping Warm
Hotel Owners!! ..It may be cold out there, but with the fires blazing inside and an atmospheric dusting of frost without there isn’t a better time to warm up your marketing with some winter Hotel Photography… I have just returned from Boringdon Hall Hotel, a Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house in South Devon where we shot some of the new rooms and the Great Hall.
The manor was first mentioned in the Domesday book and is a fascinating mix of period details and rather more modern comforts. The images we shot included interiors, food, exteriors and some cosy details, like the fireside below, photographed in the Great Hall…
Give me a bell, or email me for rates and information.Stock pics from last March
having a morning-in editing the stock photography images… this lot to go to Getty and GapPhotos… Looking forward to spring already!
Cabbage seeds photographed in the greenhouse
Wintery days can be difficult for a photographer… after days in the office, I’ll try and escape to the allotment, and its amazing what beauty you can find if you’re desperate!
The London Eye taken from the embankment
Wintery branches make a great frame for this shot of the London Eye… my little G11 Canon is a constant companion… RAW images, zoom lens, solid construction… thats all you need for a snappy camera..
A tree at the side of a country lane in Devon
Which way??! I toned this images with a bit of blue…seems to suit the cold weather … ever seen the work of James Ravilious? fabulous photographer who spent a lifetime documenting the Devon communities who lived near him in North Devon… this shot reminds me of his wonderful landscapes..
Coleton Fishacre
Did an interior photography shoot yesterday for the National Trust at Coleton Fishacre… a beautiful ‘Holiday Home’ for the D’Oyly Carte family. Built in the Jazz Age of the 1920′s, it has a great garden with semi tropical planting and a valley that runs all the way to the sea. In fact, the National Trust bought the short stretch of coastline that came with the garden, and got the house with it! Its an arts and craft type building with great views and big rooms…. nice and spacious for interior photography…. only trouble was, it was possibly the darkest day I have ever had to shoot in, so the lighting and styling was very tricky…Anyway, here’s a detail from a painting in the library at Coleton Fishacre… thats a huge Crow!
Great Mattiscombe beach
Let’s hope that Johnny Depp’s current visits to Great Mattiscombe beach in Devon won’t spoil this gorgeous bit of sand at the end of the world. He’s there filming ‘Dark Shadows’ with Tim Burton at the moment, and the area is buzzing with paparazzi and film fans trying to spot the film star. (I actually got called by a news agency yesterday, asking me to go and do some paparzzi shots of him on the beach….) AS IF! anyway, its a lovely beach, very quiet and remote, and it’s great for a bit of late afternoon sun…
Rosemoor, the final fireworks of summer
Wow. It’s all I can say. Rosemoor in North Devon is a favourite garden for me anyway, but I have been shooting it now for a year for the R.H.S and this last visit was to tie up loose ends and get some late summer shots… the hot garden was putting on an unforgettable show… Kniphofia, Heleniums, Crocosmias and Asters, all the warmth that late summer can summon. It really took my breath away and made me realise how much I love photographing in the garden…
Rosemoor, late summer spectacular!
