Get to know the photographer

Hi, I'm Dale.

I got my first camera — a 35mm film one — as a kid, and spent a lot of time in the darkroom growing up. That's where it started.

I went on to study photography at De Montfort University. These days most of my work is outdoor sessions — portraits, families, maternity, couples, and events.

I've got two children of my own, so I know exactly what it's like trying to get everyone looking half-decent at the same time.

The approach is simple: no forced poses, no stress, just enough time to let people relax into it. I want the photos to actually look like you, not a stiffer version of you.

Real sessions, real people — that's the whole idea.
