Hi, I’m Dan Bowhay, a photographer, artist, and all-around creative person. My passion for photographing events comes from my background in the arts. I have created and brought to fruition many a creative project, so I understand the passion involved in bringing events and performances to life. I thrive on being able to bring out the energy, excitement, and emotions through my photographs. I’ve photographed events and performances in Hampshire, Dorset, and beyond, and covered genres including dance, pageantry, and arts and cultural events. I’ve also photographed actors and worked photographing on many film sets.

Hi I’m Kelly, a resin crafter (Resin Expectations), author (Beyond the Ordinary, Crafting in a Crisis, and Selling at Craft Events – A beginners Guide) and director of The Crafters Collective – Princes Mead Farnborough. As a female, neurodivergent, creative business owner, my mission is to help people be their authentic selves. Whether that’s with my creations – inspired by goth, fantasy and steampunk genres – or giving other crafters a space to sell their work, and express themselves through their creations, I want to make the benefits of creativity accessible to all. Crafting has been a focus throughout my life, whenever things have been difficult, and I want to share its mental health benefits with everyone.
