A couple of images of Southend United manager Chris Powell pictured at the club’s Roots Hall stadium. Not usually a fan of seated stadium shots but the flaking paint and wooden seating called for an exception.
Recent cover shoot with The Breeders. Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson were shot at their record labels (4AD) London office for US based Magnet. The Breeders' most successful album, Last Splash, is best known for the hit single "Cannonball". As a portrait photographer I get to meet some cool people and these guys were right up there.
BBC Creative
A recent commission from BBC Creative to shoot the publicity images for Sport Relief's celebrity boxing - a charity I have always wanted to work for as a sports portrait photographer. Shot in London and Leeds. We shot at two separate boxing gyms using the environment as well as shooting a set of each participant on a clean backdrop.

A recent commission to produce the key visual identity to this year’s Third Sector Awards. The awards highlight all the amazing work done by those working for charities.
We used a light painting technique to capture a series of portraits of previous winners - all done in camera. Below is the first released press advert, a timelapse of the shoot and some other shots that will be rolled out across a range of assets in coming months. It was great working as an advertising photographer for such an important cause.

Here are recent portrait shots of leading women in politics, Prime Minister Theresa May, British Liberal Democrat Jo Swinson and Labour politician Angela Rayner. Shot in Downing Street and in the House of Commons.
Orange, France
I recently went over to Paris to shoot for Orange. The feature was on a startup called Foodles, which delivers fresh food every morning into ‘smart’ fridges that can be purchased by businesses for their staff. 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.
The Runner
Shot on location at Sydenham Hill Woods, here are a few images from a recent health and fitness sports portait shoot I did. It was a great time of year to shoot with the autumnal foliage adding colour, as well as near-empty woods to let loose in.
Panti Bliss for Gilead
These images are from a recent shoot with drag queen and gay rights activist Rory O’Neill, also known by his stage name of Panti Bliss. The focus here was on life and celebration. Shot for Gilead Sciences, a research-based biopharmaceutical company, which actively addresses unmet medical needs for patients living with life-threatening diseases globally. As an advertising photographer it was a joy to work with Rory a consummate professional.
Investec
Here are a few images from my on-going work for international specialist banking and asset management group, Investec. These images of their staff are being rolled out as part of Investec’s ongoing marketing campaign. Shot at The Hari Hotel in London a great space to shoot these commercial photography portraits. .
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.
The Bobby Moore Fund
The Bobby Moore Fund was set up by Stephanie Moore in partnership with Cancer Research UK, following the death of her husband, Bobby, from bowel cancer. The England Footballers Foundation is the charity’s official partner and has worked alongside the Fund to raise awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms. As a sports portrait photographer I was asked to capture these images ahead of England’s friendly against Brazil is in aid of the Fund’s work. Here are some images I took of the players as part of the campaign.

Motion
These images were shot in a London studio as part of a personal project. The aim was to convey energy and movement; a visual way to represent the data, information and statistics. Shot using continuous and flash, all the effects are captured in camera in one frame. As a sports portrait photographer is alway fun to experiment and play.
Judd
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.
Potrero Hill
Shot on San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, here are a few more images from my recent Athleisure shoot. We chose the location because it provided a strong sense of place with great views across the city, as well as vibrant colours from the mural which we used as a graphic backdrop. Shooting in high temperatures with strong harsh sunlight, we scrimmed the sun and bounced in available to fill. As a lifestyle photographer more used to working in London the heat make a pleasant change.
The Prime Minister
I was recently asked to photograph the Prime Minister, Theresa May at 10 Downing Street. A tricky shoot from the outset. I presumed time would be tight: details their end were at best vague.
Access was heavily restricted so it was just me and whatever I could carry. Time was tight; very tight; three minutes from first to last frame. As a portrait photographer I’m used to working fast and this was a real test of that skill.
