I photograph all sorts of events for charities, companies and individuals. Getting out of the house and pointing a lens at someone or something moving is fun. The best of those moments captures heightened emotion. Tears or joy, it really doesn’t matter. It’s all magical, brilliant real life stuff, being there when people achieve their goals or make their loved ones proud.

Looking briefly into the life of your subject is how I think about portraits. More specifically, an environmental portrait should invite us in to the familiar workspace, home … world of the subject.

Preparation and research are essential for these kind of portraits. The image requires context. Understanding who it is I am shooting, what they do and how they present themselves to the world is what I am trying to get across.

Runners & cyclists make great subjects for photographers. There’s a lot of emotion bound up in fulfilling any goal but somehow these two pursuits bring out people’s spirit in a very visible (and photographic) way. Photographing runners and riders, mostly for charities, is a major part of my work. It takes focus and technical perfection but the results are so rewarding and are often my favourite images …

Food is pleasure. It should create desire. Food and beverage photography is all about creating desire. Whether you have a restaurant or coffee house, a catering business or a pop-up stall you can make your produce look irresistible. With years of experience as a food & drink photographer allow me to show off your wares with perfect images that highlight their quality and appeal and most importantly, create that desire!

Perspective. That’s what is needed when photographing exteriors, interiors, stairs, ballrooms, galleries, bus shelters … if it’s a place that needs to look great, it comes down to simple visual choices. Search for lots of perspectives and then choose the right ones and capture them with perfect technical settings. From high, from low, from above or the corner, shooting spaces is not as straightforward as it seems but it’s challenging and rewarding.

I shoot a lot of people so I actually love to change it up and photograph a space. Rooms aren’t camera shy and they don’t blink. Let me come and photograph your home, your studio or workspace and present the world with magazine-ready images to promote your environment. 

Actors, singers, jugglers … performers of any stripe need high quality head shots. Business leaders need standout profile images. A great portrait should boldly stand out, make the viewer stop and look and reveal something about its subject.

For those in the office, save time and expense and let me come to you and shoot your next business portraits, with discounts for group booking.

I’ve been very fortunate to work with the education & development departments of several organisations. These include clients as diverse and august as Westminster Abbey, The Postal Museum, Keep Britain Tidy and Chance to Shine.

Children tend not to hide themselves as much as we adults do which often presents wonderful photographic opportunity.

Photographing a party is all about searching. Searching for the laughers, the entertainers, the cheeky ones. My only nights out now are working ones (thanks children) but that doesn’t mean I don’t get to parties now and then.

I’ve been capturing rehearsals and performance photography since I first picked up a camera and I’ve been lucky where it’s got me. I’ve been on TV and film sets, in West End and regional theatres, as well as rehearsal studios all over the map.

Sometimes the subjects are big name actors, singers and directors, sometimes students, sometimes simply people who are brilliant at their craft. Performance photography possibly feels as close to something artistic as I get and I love the challenge of it. Dramatic moving moments on stage should look dramatic when the action is frozen. Always.

A pretty regular day of work for me happens at meetings; meetings and gatherings and awards and celebrations. Sometimes there’s an auction, sometimes a celebrity, often there’s a speech … sometimes a good one. It’s the variety that I love. You meet and snap some interesting people.

I photograph numerous awards and conferences each year for major companies, charities and institutions, providing large galleries of beautiful, candid and posed images that capture the occasion memorably.
