My Journal
Life is full of stories and everyone has one they are waiting to tell…
Every single one of my personal equine shoots is full of individuality, full of interest and emotion. Stories that make them different from the next person and yet they each have one common theme – a love for their horse. You can find some of my fabulous ‘Client Stories’ here.
Within ‘Tog Blog’ you’ll discover more about me, the person behind the camera. You’ll find out what makes my world go round and what goes round my head too. Some of these journal blogs are, hopefully, an insight into the equine photography world and will provide answers to some of the many questions you may have regarding equine photography too. Some of my posts may be of a more light-hearted view.
So grab yourself a comfy chair and delve in!

Anyone remember from the first part of this mini series (you can catch up with Part 1 here) that in our search for a new horse for me we had a list of things we [...]
Back in the Saddle…

Dan & Gypsy

Style, Skills & Silver with Hiho Silver Workshop – Why Me?!
In the run up to the Style, Skills & Silver Insta-style workshop that I'm taking part in, hosted by Hiho Silver, I sat down the other day and looked long and hard at myself to [...]
Kate, Curran & Boris
I think I met Kate back in the spring of 2017 not long after I moved into Somerset, however I didn't really get to know her until the following Autumn and our friendship has blossomed [...]
Katie & Breeze
I first met Katie about 10 months ago when she had a mini shoot with me, so I was really happy to revisit her and her Welsh Cob mare Breeze again in the beautiful Dorset [...]
Fun at a Black Background Yard Session
I recently headed into the South Hams area in Devon for a yard booking of Black Background sessions. These yard sessions are so much fun and give me chance to scratch and sniff a lot [...]
A Day in the Life of Me
I'm frequently asked 'whats the best thing about your job' and I think I generally answer with something like, "I love the diversity of what I do and the flexibility I can bring to my [...]
Straight From The Horse’s Mouth..
I recently had the pleasure of working with Victoria Hammond, an Equine Dental Technician (EDT) based in Somerset. To qualify and become a member of the British Association of Equine Dental Technicians and to be [...]
Sarah & Bob
Earlier in the summer Sarah got in touch as she had been recommended my style of photography by one of my previous clients, Jackie. They both stable their beloved horses at Moreton Equestrian Centre between [...]
Alice, Tipper & Genna
Some of the best equine photo sessions I'm privileged to shoot come through the kindness of others and through the giving of gift packages or vouchers. The response from those receiving the gift is often [...]
Polly & Archie
A few months ago I had a very lovely conversation with Alan, a man clearly wanting to give the girl in his life, Polly, a present he knew she’d love… pictures of her beloved Thoroughbred [...]
Grace, Beatrice, Button & Hanky
Earlier this month I headed back to South Devon, a bit of a nostalgic trip into an area I grew to love when I lived in Devon a few years ago. This time though, [...]

One of the first really horsey people I met when I first moved to Somerset was Alice, she answered a plea for help with something and since then we've become good friends. Having already photographed [...]
