I’m opening up a small number of pay-what-you-can portrait and lifestyle shoots, an exciting way to creatively move into Spring, before my busier season begins.

These shoots are for artists, musicians, makers, chefs, small businesses, movement practitioners (dancers, yoga and pilates instructors)…or anyone drawn to being photographed right now.

Perhaps a full photoshoot hasn’t felt accessible before. Perhaps you’d love a portrait of yourself, simply because… or to mark a new chapter, a transition, or something worth remembering. You’re also welcome to pay it forward and gift a shoot to someone else. My favourite part of this work is connecting with people and telling their stories. These shoots give me the chance to do more of that, while also making a little bit of money during this quieter period in my year.

I’m based in Sussex and would love to prioritise local shoots as part of connecting more deeply with my community. I’m also happy to travel further afield… travel costs can be shared. So don’t let that stop you reaching out :)

All you need to do is email me at ulablocksage@gmail.com with a little about you (or who the shoot is for), what you’re imagining and what you’re able to spend.

I won’t be able to take on everyone, but I’m excited to see what this brings and start the Spring creating together. If you know someone who might enjoy this, I’d be so grateful if you could share this post with them also.

Ps. I’ve been photographing people for over 18 years now. I really have a knack for helping even the most camera-shy feel relaxed and themselves in front of the camera. I promise it will be a lot of fun ✨

NYC 1996 - wearing @karllagerfeld
I don’t really have a recollection of what shoot I was doing but I do remember being blown away that @saltnpepaofficial were there and they were excited to talk to me!🥰 I remember @davidbowie was there, and my dad @ernieblocksage who had come to chaperone me as I was ‘just a baby’👶

Moments of 2025 Part III

The final stretch of the year kicked off with an exciting campaign in the Yorkshire Moors with @thegateplus_ for @lovegreatbritain and before I knew it, I was hopping on multiple trains heading north. Alongside an amazing team, I spent the days scaling walls (see slide 2 😂), hugging trees, climbing countless hills and getting caught in the rain more times than I can count… all in pursuit of the perfect shot. The shoot wrapped up in the quaintest seaside town, sheltering from the rain with a cup of tea in hand.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I received the surreal news that my work was being displayed on billboards across Australia… a moment that absolutely called for celebrating with friends before heading off again, this time to Naples, Italy 🇮🇹 for another portrait shoot.

Next stop was London, photographing the incredible @alokvmenon during the London leg of their tour. From there, it was onto a video shoot for @unplugged.rest on the border of Wales and England, followed by a few sunshine-filled days in Marrakesh with my beauty @hayah_handpokes.

The year wrapped up exactly how I’d hoped… time with family, making many pots at my pottery studio @neighbourhood.pottery, a week in Spain eating all the tapas and dancing salsa, and finishing with Christmas in Venice.
What a year!!
 Feeling endlessly grateful for this life and for the dream work I get to call my job. Here’s to another exciting year ahead✨!

I’ve been eyeing the Pentax 645 and 645N for a long time, and finally decided to take the plunge and bought myself the N series for the autofocus and it absolutely did not disappoint.

These are a few frames from a quick test shoot in Hastings of @ernieblocksage of just before the sun disappeared last year. I’m seriously chuffed with the camera so far… even if it does weigh a tonne.

Anyone else shooting medium format at the moment? Would love to know what camera body you are using!
