Wish you were here! Carbis Bay, Cornwall


It’s the Thursday before August bank holiday, a weekend when many will travel north, east, south or west to take a well-earned break. And so we should! Living in Cornwall we’re lucky enough to find sanctuary amongst our local surroundings, so whether you’re thinking of a trip to this part of the UK or you already live here, I thought I’d dedicate today’s blog to a place of natural beauty and harmony. An area that’s popular for tourists and locals alike; Carbis Bay.

The image above shows Carbis Bay as many know it well, but for our Autumn Winter shoot we decided to take an area with less sand and even more open space – the moorland southwest of the town. And what a beautiful area it is! The most stunning shot of the day had to be the Hooded Toscana Coat where our model Nicole stood on a tor of granite boulders, and posed for an image that almost reminds me of the Scottish Widows advert, but of course an image that has a more jaw-dropping coat!


Carbis Bay is located close to St Ives, a fishing town widely known for its draw to artists, hosting its very own Tate gallery. You could look only at the colours of our images taken on our shoot to see why artists from around the world head to St Ives to create their masterpieces. So it’s with that thought in mind that I leave you with some more beautiful images taken on the day we headed southwest of Carbis Bay…

- And may I recommend if you’re in the area either this bank holiday weekend or another you take a walk around the moorland. It’s truly breathtaking
