“PhotoKernow (John Shepherd Photography) works from his studio in Cawsand in South East Cornwall”.

“Specialises in Portrait, Fashion, Glamour and Boudoir photography”.

 

I live in SE Cornwall with my wife in the beautiful seaside village of Cawsand.

I have been a photographer for over 20 years and specialise in portraiture, fashion, glamour and boudoir photography.The area offers some amazing opportunities for beach and countryside location shoots.

I am passionate about photography and enjoy bringing an organic and moody feel to a shoot. I really welcome the model being involved in ideas and suggestions for poses. For experienced models I will pay reasonable rates and will cover travelling expenses.

Model Experience Days

If you are interested in having a go at modelling but are new or relatively inexperienced in front of a camera then don’t hesitate to get in touch. The studio offers a friendly and safe environment in which to work and is much less intimidating than a commercial studio. For new models and beginners I collaborate on a TF basis and will do all I can to help them build their portfolio. Come and experience a fun day and be introduced to the wonderful world of modelling.

I have had a few shoots with John now and I highly recommend him to any model. John has great communication before, during and after the shoot. Not only an excellent photographer but also has the personality to match. He is laid back, calm and will make you feel at ease. Can't wait to shoot again in the future.

John is such a wonderful guy! I have worked with him on a couple of occasions and he is a pleasure to model for. He’s chatty and fun to be around and produces wonderful images which is always an added bonus. He is a regular to my local studio and it’s always lovely bumping into him on other events. A very respectful and courteous photographer towards both the models and his peers. I would happily work with John time and time again and whole heartedly recommend him to anyone looking at working with him ??

I met John on a group shoot with Chris Conway recently and he introduced himself and we had a good chat. Lovely gentleman, very respectful & considerate of everyone whilst working around me & other photographers. I hope to work with him in the future. Great photographer and I’m happy with the photos I’ve seen.

Had my second shoot with John yesterday and he's such a lovely man. I definitely recommend him to any model. John has great communication before and during a shoot. He came up with a few really good ideas that worked well. Already looking forward to our next shoot together.

I worked with John during my recent group shoot at Triden Studio in Plymouth. John is a lovely guy, true gentleman and a great photographer. We didn't have a chance to talk much as it was a group shoot, but I hope I will get a chance to work with John again in the near future.
