You’ve poured hundreds of hours into sourcing fabrics, stitching seams, hand-weathering props, and perfecting armor. Don’t let weeks of painstaking crafting be reduced to a rushed phone snap under the flat, fluorescent lighting of a convention hall.
Based in Exeter, I provide full-production cosplay and genre photography across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset.
Our mission is simple:
Treat your craft with the reverence it deserves by taking your character and placing them into their own cinematic world.
Whether shooting on location across the South West or in a local studio, I craft immersive visual stories elevating fan creations into high-impact visuals that rival blockbuster movie posters.
Every universe requires a distinct visual language, lighting palette, and location profile:
From character lore to cinematic reality:
The South West of England provides some of the most versatile backdrops in the UK for genre and character photography:
From Dartmoor’s high-fantasy tors and Cornwall’s dramatic, adventurous coastline to the cyberpunk urban spaces of Bristol, Plymouth, and Exeter, the region offers the ultimate backdrop for any visual narrative.

I occasionally attend major regional events, including Comic Con South West and local Exeter cosplay meetups. I much prefer to book dedicated private location shoots on the days surrounding conventions so you can get full-production shots while your costume is ready.
Absolutely. From glowing energy blades and spellcasting effects to atmospheric fog, digital sparks, and floating particle effects, screen-quality VFX are baked into the post-production stage to elevate your builds.
I don't have my own studio but have used and have access to a range of local studios in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. For location shoots I have complete mobility to travel with a range of lighting equipment across Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall, and the wider South West.
Yes, on a selective basis! While my primary focus is paid bookings, I occasionally take on TFP shoots if the concept is a passion project for both of us.
What I look for in TFP proposals:
Clear Concept: A well-thought-out character, outfit, or theme.
Mood Boards / Visual References: Photos or sketches showing the vibe, lighting, or setting you have in mind.
Mutual Benefit: A project that adds strong, standout pieces to both of our portfolios.
If you have an idea you're excited about, feel free to get in touch with your concept details and portfolio links, and let's see if we can bring it to life!
