This children's photography studio takes pictures so beautiful, they could be mistaken for stills from a film.

And now parents who would love to see their child become a star in a shoot like this are in luck.

Swansea-based studio Forrest & Fox is running a series of special photoshoot events across South Wales, beginning in Swansea later this week.

The bespoke children’s photography company is preparing for its latest project, The Wild Ones, which sees youngsters go into adventurous mode against a woodland backdrop, specially devised for the occasion.

The idea behind the shoot is to create the unique atmosphere of the outdoors, thanks to the indoor set built by designer Emily Britton.

What is The Wild Ones all about?

"We have hand-crafted this event, from concept to creation, with the knowledge that some children were born to be Wild Ones," said Forrest & Fox co-owner and photographer Verity Lambden.

"This event is inspired by nature and the amazing force of a child’s imagination, and is influenced by the magic of childhood stories such as Peter Pan, Where the Wild Things Are and Lord of the Flies."

The company, based in Swansea Enterprise Park, was formed last November to bridge what it saw as a gap in the market.

"Everyone is from a film or TV background and we wanted to do something we felt wasn't being done," said Verity. "We didn't want to do normal photographic shoots, but something more like film stills. We design sets to give the atmosphere.

"We thought that no one is doing anything like this. We are giving children the experience of almost being on a film set. The Wild Ones is about being a free spirit and interacting with nature."
