Boudoir & Portrait Photography in Swindon & the Cotswolds

By Glen · August 2026 · 4 min read

One of the best things about being based where I am is the sheer variety on the doorstep. Whether you'd feel most comfortable in a private studio or out somewhere beautiful, there's an option nearby that fits. Here's where I shoot, and what each setting gives you.

The home studio in Swindon

My base is a private, relaxed home studio in Swindon, Wiltshire. It's calm, warm and completely private — no shared building, no strangers wandering through, no clock-watching. For a lot of first-timers that privacy is exactly what makes it possible to relax and enjoy the session. It's ideal for boudoir, fitness and portrait work where you want controlled light and zero distractions.

Location shoots across the Cotswolds

If the outdoors feels more you, the Cotswolds are hard to beat — honey-stone villages, big open countryside and gorgeous natural light. Location shoots suit portrait, fashion-led and fitness sessions especially well, and there's something freeing about shooting somewhere that means something to you. We'll pick a spot together based on the look you're after.

London sessions too

I regularly shoot in London as well, so if you're after an urban, editorial feel — architecture, texture, a bit of city energy — that's very much on the table. Same relaxed, fully-guided approach, just a different backdrop.

Who I photograph

This is the important bit: my clients are everyday women, not models. Most have never done a shoot before and arrive convinced they're "not the type." You don't need experience, a certain body type, or any idea what to do with your hands — that's my job. I shoot boudoir, fitness, maternity and creative portraits, and every session is guided from the first frame to the last.

What's always included

• Full posing direction — no experience needed
• Every unedited image from your session — you keep them all
• Professionally finished edits within 10–14 days
• A relaxed, private, no-pressure experience wherever we shoot

Sessions start from £175, and you can see the full breakdown — including premium studio options with professional lighting and props — on the pricing section of my site.
