I’ve been really enjoying these Adobe Live from the sofa I’ve learnt some much from spending an hour a day learning from other creatives. I took this photograph I shot for Scoundrels and Gentleman earlier this week during a Lightroom lesson and pretty happy with the results!
Rise and shine! It won’t be long before we can get back out there, explore and wake up to beautiful views again🏕 It will soon be time for many business to market their products again and get back out there! This doesn't necessarily mean spending fortunes when your marketing budget has been completely reduced and you don't have the budget to create anything new but instead, together we can recycle old content and imagery and use existing assets to start communicating with potential customers and clients again!

With my one walk a day and stuck in the Dorset countryside for the foreseeable, I decided to go and explore during my exercise allowance and produce some content at the same time. I took my Lowepro bag, couple of Canon cameras and my hunters and hit the hills. These are the photographs and content I came up with…
Calling all Lifestyle and Outdoor brands suffering from COVID-19! I'm offering free content photography to keep your brand alive. Post me your products and lets work through this together!
Like me and many other freelancers, my work has suffered dramatically from COVID-19 for the foreseeable future. Instead of taking a negative approach, I would like to make the most of my one walk a day and continue developing what I love to help small outdoor and lifestyle brands keep their products alive. I plan to explore my local country routes once a day and use this time to photograph your products. Get in touch indy.hodder@hotmail.com
Based in Portland, Dorset, new gym Jurassic Muscle and Fitness was built. As a personal trainer myself, I attend regularly and found some photography potential within this industrial styled gym. I wanted to capture training and sports content for Jurassic Muscle and Fitness and also for Matt Harvey, a personal trainer based in Weymouth, Dorset. Tracking progress is an important of any client or person in training and photographing Matt regularly during his competition training is a good way of creating gym content for social media but also showing Matts body changes and gym progression.
Based in Dorchester, I drive through Poundbury most days and I have always been intrigued by the shed adjoining The Garden Group. Not just because of the inviting call to action hung outside the door but simply because the thriving lunch time rush that goes through the doors every day. My aim was to photograph the rustic colours and atmosphere which I had always imagined this Dorset café had behind the doors and it did not disappoint. Bowls of beautiful local produce from Olive Et Al and fresh bread and focaccia (handmade, proved and baked from a lovely old Sourdough Starter) to some seriously super salads, cakes, sandwiches, tarts and traybakes all with a particular Mediterranean twist. A rack full of 100% Organic & Vegan Wines as well as stonking spirits were also covering the walls. The colours were exactly as I imagined and I can’t wait to go back and shoot some more. A lovely way to start the morning!
2020. A year of sustainable fashion, ethical brands and upcycling. Attending the 2020 London Fashion week was not only about capturing fashion content for sustainable clothing brands but for me, capturing the people, the expressions and ‘behind the scenes’ emotions that you don’t see whilst watching a catwalk. Not only has social media and content creation changed the way we think when attending an event, I put down my phone and experience what is changing in fashion, in environment and the emotions of London Fashion Week.
Every Saturday morning I get up early and travel to Portland, Dorset to Jurassic Muscle and Fitness. As a personal trainer myself I do my best to keep my PT knowledge fresh. I train with Matt a lot and the quality I offer to my clients is my skills as a photographer so we combine our love for fitness with my photography and create good content for Matt to advertise his services. If your based on Portland, get in touch with Matt, he’ll have a laugh and keep you in shape!
Last night I spent to evening at the relaunch of South Deep Cafe at Parkstone Bay Marina. I’m a regular visitor to the marina as this is where I work weekly so it was a pleasure to be invited to the opening and seeing the new look! Congrats Jimmy!
My nan has always been ready for things. Never been one to sit and be idle. Up and active with her coat and shoes on early each morning, ready to start the day.
Ever since my mum can remember, Friday has always been a “clean bed day” in my nan’s house. She has always been a clean and tidy lady but throughout the stages of dementia this day gradually faded out. Having clean sheets on the bed, now only happens if it is done for her.
She always assists my mum with making it even though she is convinced it is not her home.
I took these photographs during lunch time… For my nan, lunch time is usually a time when she convinces herself that she's eaten and sometimes not realising when she's hungry. It’s now all about encouraging her to eat, so making her lunch is always satisfying.
She often takes pauses to question if everyone else has eaten even though its just her and I in the room.
Staring, wandering , biting her nails - you can start to see when confusion kicks in, usually followed by a sudden change of emotion.
I captured this moment just before she felt lost and didn’t understand where she was.
The majority of dinner times are confusing. Going back to the days when she fed for 7 children, thinking they are all coming home for their tea. There are also days when she waits for family members to bring her her dinner. Bringing her back to reality can be tough.
Based at The Training Shed gym, sister company AM SPORT were testing out KitBrix ambassador and Yorkshire OCR champion, Connor Hancock to help him in improve in competition and overall fitness.
Photographing and documenting the details and ‘behind the scenes’ moments of Connor’s DNA test, I was able to create the content required to support the gym and DNA.
Love Island contestant, model and Personal Trainer. Marvin lives in Dorset and I was recently connected through mutual friend, Rhi Duffin. Working with influencers is an important part of social media growth and should be thought about when putting together a social strategy. I worked with Marvin for a few of his influencer collaborations as part of his fitness services, offering him a bank of imagery to use for his social media content and social media partnership collaborations.
As Poole Harbour is our home it was hard to resist a lunch time getaway to our friends at The Lake Yard. We couldn't think of a better way to get there than to test out our two beautifully designed Hydrolift boats, taking a detour to Brownsea Island in some gusty conditions really did put the X-22 and X-26S to the test.
