Photographer enjoys the big waves and light at Croyde, Devon, UK

Every couple of years I sometimes get one of those days when the weather is sunny, I am not on a commissioned location shoot and the big surf is crashing in to one of our local beaches. These days are rare getting all three elements to come together. I might call it a day off but then I guess I am technically working in the office. I grew up living looking at the sea everyday and it always amazes me with its power and beauty. We are lucky to be where we are and are fortunate to appreciate what we have.
These photos were taken from a set of images taken at Croyde beach over the course of a day.

Late autumn light makes rivers come alive for the travelling photographer, Exmoor, UK.

Living on the edge of Exmoor we are lucky to experience the beautiful changes with all the seasons. 

In every weather and in every light. 

These moments come and then disappear as quickly as they arrive.

Close your eyes and they are missed, blink and they are gone.

Light is magic, to be enjoyed and forever remembered.

 Often slithers of time never to be captured on film.

But sometimes that magic needs to be shared and when it lights your soul inside,

spread the warmth of it's beauty as change is but a moment away.

I used several sets of different lighting on the night, pre-set up switching between channels and transceivers.", Said Guy.

PR Photographer shooting lots of exciting corporate portraits for leading Marketing and PR clients in the South West, UK.

Successful PR and marketing photography is very important and getting the right image across to your clients is key to this. This year photographer Guy Harrop has really noticed an increase in outdoor company portrait photography with clients looking to incorporate the beautiful environments where we work. "Location photography is really quite the 'norm' now. We live in such a beautiful place and people literally can work from anywhere. With more companies working from and moving into the countryside, a big percentage of portraiture photography has definitely moved outside too.", said Guy. All photos Guy Harrop.
