From corporate headshots to epic theatrical and cinematic imagery, I am driven to create photos that tell stories, and make people feel good about themselves.For businesses this means high-end creative promotional photography to stand out from the crowd.For individuals, couples, families and friends it means an amazing set of photos and an unforgettable experience.

Since Lockdown began in April 2020 I have been creating and hosting a weekly, live video podcast on Photography. I give tips and techniques on photography and editing, offer insights into behind the scenes of photo shoots, set challenges, and you can join in the live chat.Join me live on YouTube every Sunday at 3pm UK time at https://youtube.com/kimayres On my channel you can also view all the previous episodes.

The Cracked Man was born from a shared love of creating original music, an experiential understanding of the fragility of the human psyche, and the fact no one else uses a slide bouzouki.Singer and guitarist Marcus Wright is also a sound engineer and producer, driven to seek originality, clarity, and those sudden moments when you feel your heart could burst or break.Kim Ayres likes to draw people into seemingly familiar but unexpected worlds with his photography, but is at his happiest when using a bottleneck, delay pedal and distortion box on a bouzouki never designed for such things.Navigating a treacherous route between moments when they feel they could conquer the world, and times when the universe threatens to engulf their souls, The Cracked Man creates original foot-stomping, spine-tingling, brow-twitching, cheek-spasming, tea-dunking music that will leave you breathless but deeply satisfied.
