Capturing special moments
Portraits iin Cornwall
It’s no secret that Cornwall is one of the most beautiful and diverse counties boasting incredible coastline, an aqua-marine ocean, mystical woodlands, and wild open spaces; perfect for exploring and capturing incredible moments with stunning backdrops.
Cornish Backdrops
We’ve teamed up with Gavan Goulder – ‘Portraits in Cornwall’ an experienced and professional portrait photographer who truly appreciates and understands that more often than not the best portrait/group and family shots are captured not in the studio but with natural backdrops in Cornwall you can’t get anywhere else!
Family and individual portraits
Are you are visiting Tregenna with friends and family and want to capture unforgettable moments together with incredible backdrops? Or are you maybe looking for an individual portrait picture for your business or social pages that make you stand out from the crowd? ‘Portraits in Cornwall’ offer you all of the above and Gavan really knows how to make you feel at ease, create a fun session, capture your personality and leave you with something you can treasure for a lifetime.
About Gavan
Gavan, is based in St. Ives Cornwall and has travelled all over the world with his camera, so he knows a beautiful spot when he sees one.
Having worked as a photographer for over 30 years, during this time as an editorial photographer for The Guardian, The Times and The Telegraph among others, he was lucky enough to visit some astonishing places. But what really spoke to him wasn’t just the landscapes and cities, gorgeous as they are, but the people he met along the way.
"There’s no greater privilege than making a connection with another person that leads to the perfect portrait. By perfect, I don’t mean an every-hair-in-place-style cover shoot (although I can do that too), but rather one of those wonderful photographs that manages to convey the sitter’s personality." - Gavan Goulder.
A Cornish Portrait package starts from just £125!
