About Westlake Photography

Born and raised in Somerset, England. I have always had a love affair with the romantic things of life, whether that be the writing on the page, the wind in trees, the singing of birds or the deer dancing in the back field...

Ahead of writing this I asked my wife if she were to describe me in a couple words what would she say: passionate, determined, a dreamer and someone with has very romanticised view of life. Naturally I cut out all the expletives and focused on the words that suited what I wanted to convey. So here's the thing, I'd like to think I'm a relatively down to earth individual, who's relaxed, engaging and generally interested in exploring the things of life.

I love photography, in particular when I'm able to capture something that isn't conventional, something that engages the subject and ultimately speaks for itself. Life is an adventure so why not live it, I relish the opportunity to explore something outside the four walls of my office. I love the outdoors and I much prefer shooting there. I'm a natural light photographer, thoroughly invested in capturing photos which are an accurate representation of the subject; not an overly photoshopped, smooth skinned, blue eyed, blond haired version of yourself... That said I always aim to capture the natural, the beauty and the culture. If I could be accused of anything then its for being nostalgic, and remembering things with rose coloured spectacles.
