New work of the UK Government’s Pension Advice Service ‘Pension Wise’. ‘The Power of an Hour ‘ campaign is to run across the UK to draw attention to the pensions advice information on offer. For most people, their pension is likely to be one of the most valuable assets they hold. It’s very important for people to make the right decision around how and when to access their pensions pots. As a London based advertising photographer its great to shoot something that with such a important message. We shot on location around a TVC produced by The Gate.
Tag Heuar - George Bamford
Recent shoot for Tag Heuer to promote their newly launched Aquaracer Bamford Limited edition. Designed by George Bamford of the Bamford Watch Department we shot a series of images in West London using design elements of the watch - such as the neon orange. As a commercial photographer it was great to work with a brand with Tag Heuer’s prestige and heritage.

Audley Travel - Advertising Campaign
Here are some new advertising images for Audley Travel. A company that prides itself on delivering premium tailor-made experiences for their customers.
Audley’s attention to detail is a key point of difference in the travel industry. Staff have expert knowledge of countries and spend time with customers to make sure that the journeys they experience really match their wishes. It’s a case of not finding out where they want to go, but how they want to feel. For Audley, the holiday experience shouldn’t end when you come back home, it should be transformative and live on with you, changing your world view.
A big thanks to all those at Designate who created the campaign. The images will be used in a wide ranging print campaign in the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, the Sunday Times, Times, Telegraph magazines.
‘Travel made the Audley way stays with you forever’
There is a little backdown video of us at the end - which was shot at Holborn Studios.

She has written many books on the subject of women in Islam, paying particular attention to the practice of female genital mutilation.

Summer portraits shot on location in Streatham Common for Psychologies. We used the summer light and filled it in using a shoot through, giving a warm tone and positive feel. As a London based portrait photographer if was the first time I had shot in this location, it was great.

Brussels, Bucharest and Budapest
A recent commission that involved three location shoots in Brussels, Bucharest and Budapest. Exploring the rapidly expanding street truck food scene. Food trucks are rapidly challenging more traditional restaurants and are fast becoming the logical step for young chefs wanting autonomy and creative control. As we were shooting out of season for the coming summer months a huge thanks to all those who willingly took part. Trying to capture summer images in the depths of winter is always a challenge but with the right lighting and logistics something that can be achieved. Whilst the trucks themselves were wonderful it was the people I really enjoyed shooting - producing a lovely set of lifestyle images.
