Cardiff Bay Summer Shoot
This shoot was Cardiff on a summer high; sun blazing, air buzzing, streets alive with grit and light. I linked up with Lakshmi, a model who brings a natural grace but doesn’t shy away from the raw edge I look for. This wasn’t about stiff poses or airbrushed illusions. It was about movement, texture, tension. It was about being.
We shot around the Bay; walls that’ve seen decades of stories, water that reflects more than sky, and those long stretches of brick and steel that give this city its spine. Lakshmi brought something real. There’s softness, yeah, but there’s also defiance in the way she looks down the lens, the way she owns space without apology. She wears light like armour.
This shoot wasn’t polished. That’s the point. Life isn’t. Beauty's not always clean or safe; it’s found in moments where a glance lingers too long, where the breeze hits just right, where skin meets stone and the world keeps moving around it.
