ECB Match Day Programs
The football is over. Anyone for cricket?....We were asked to get involved with the revamp of match day programs for The England and Wales Cricket Board ; producing all the cover images to drive match day sales and add new life into the publication. These have been rolled out for the summer’s test matches and limited overs games featuring Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan. As a sports portrait photographer you couldn’t ask for a better commission.

We spent a day at Foodle’s HQ and shot images showing all aspects of their business operation. We used people from the company on the shoot, including the CEO. As a lifestyle photographer the companies HQ provided a great space to achive some wonderful clean images.
Gabriel Jesus
We were up in Manchester recently to shoot Manchester City’s man of the moment Gabriel Jesus. We set up in the ever glamorous changing room and had 20 minutes to capture the shoot. Gabriel’s interpreter was on hand to translate “eat the candy floss” - some of the concepts were on the wacky side. The brief was to keep it childlike, fun and energised. We took care of all the production - finding a drum, candy floss and confetti, as well as a small ride-on motorbike - all with only 8 hours’ notice - no problem. A fun shoot and a little different from the standard sports portrait photographer shots.

Here are some studio shots of Harry Judd…Currently promoting the release of his new book Get Fit, Get Happy, Harry is on a mission to improve the nation’s mental and physical health. These sports portraits were shot at Holborn studios.
