A little lifestyle shoot in and around Shoreditch. We shot late in the day to capture the lovely autumn light and colours.
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.
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.
Crissy Field
Here are some more images from my recent Athleisure shoot in San Francisco. These were taken right by the landmark Golden Gate Bridge and recreation ground Crissy Field. Styling and makeup was handled by Californian-based stylist Michelle Rivet. It was a great shoot and and i’m really happy with the images - a great addition to my body of work as a lifestyle photographer.
Simon Webbe
Here are a selection of portrait images from a recent shoot with Simon Webbe. Shot with a mix of continuous light and flash, these were taken in a central London studio not far from Oxford Street.
Ocean Beach
Here are a few images from a recent Athleisure shoot in San Francisco. We had a reccy day to scope out the best sites and shot these images on Ocean Beach to the west side of the city. Overlooking Seal Rocks, the shots were taken in the early morning, so that the beach would be relatively quiet. As a lifestyle photographer you can’t beat the light on the west coast.
Pacifica
Here are some images of surfers which I took for a personal project in Pacifica beach, California. We headed out there early in the morning, on a weekday, to make sure we caught the real enthusiasts. We scrimmed the light and shot in the surf using the shallow water as a bounce. As a sports portrait photographer is was wonderful to encounter the laid back California attitude - everyone was really laid back and willing to pose..
The Mission
A series of personal portraits shot of passers by on the streets of ‘The Mission', a neighbourhood in San Francisco. The area has become home to the left leaning dot com generation - displacing the original Latino residents. It’s full of cafes, shops and art galleries which play host to a very eclectic mix of people. There were some great faces as a portrait photographer I was spoiled for choice.
Evelyn Stevenson & Corinne Evans
Here are two previously unpublished sports portaits of weightlifter Evelyn Stevenson and surfer Corinne Evans, shot for Sport magazine. The image of Corinne was taken at Big Sky looking back towards central London. Sad news that Sport magazine has closed. They really were great people to shoot for.
Jackson & Levine
This image of Laura Jackson and Alice Levine was recently used in Stylist. It’s been over three years since they started their Supper Club and have since written food columns for Company and Elle.com, and have a cookbook due out in 2017. When they’re not cooking, Levine can be heard on Radio 1, whilst Jackson presents ITV’s Take Me Out: The Gossip. There shared flat off the Kingsland Road was a great space for this lifestyle shoot.
Psychologies
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.
Fashion and Beauty
I have recently been working with 4 of the biggest fashion and beauty bloggers in partnership with leading cosmetic surgery firm Transform.
We produced all aspects of the shoot in-house from styling to location scouting.
“This is a significant and groundbreaking campaign not only for us but for the UK cosmetic surgery industry, ” said Steven Taylor, marketing director at Transform.
We shot at a location house in North London, producing an entire suite of lifestyle imagery.
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.
Ayoze Pérez Gutérrez
A recent shoot with Ayoze Pérez Gutiérrez. Shot on location at Newcastle’s training ground Darsely Park. To capture Ayoze’s speed and agility we shot multiple exposures. As a portrait photographer Ayoze was great to work with, bringing lots of ideas to the shoot.
Ella Woodward for You Magazine
A recent cover shoot for You Magazine with leading health food blogger Ella Woodward aka Deliciously Ella. Shot at The Worx in West London. Her blog receives 6 million hits a month and she has 400,000 followers on Instagram. The main reason for Deliciously Ella’s success is Woodward’s own story: she suffered frompostural tachycardia syndrome, which can cause debilitating dizziness and blurred vision. She was laid up in bed for almost a year and says her change in diet – along with exercise – has been key to her recovery. Ella was great to shoot - as a lifestyle photographer you couldn’t ask for more from a subject.
Miami's Answer To Forrest Gump?
On a recent shoot in Miami I came across Robert 'Raven' Kraft. He has been running on Miami beach every day since the 1st of January 1975. Every day, without fail. He now attracts a small group of followers who join him in his daily jaunt. Robert keeps meticulous records and 2431 runners have joined him so far from 81 Countries. They all get a unique nickname which he shouts out as he introduces everyone as they set off. A lovely find, run by Norwegian and Air Berlin. As a lifestyle photographer it always amazes me that you can just stumble across these stories.
ES Magazine - Gobble Maps
A Christmas throwback shoot for ES Magazine just before the Holiday. Six London Chefs cooking turkey six very different ways. All shot on location in a rather hectic three day shoot. One of the best bits of being a lifestyle Photographer?..The eating…
Miami - Little Haiti
A recent commission to shoot this in-depth travel feature on Little Haiti, Miami. The people focused spread looks at the characters of this emerging neighbourhood and its links to the visual arts scene. I spent a week in Miami shooting for Air Berlin. Little Haiti is well off the usual tourist route, as a lifestyle photographer it was a real privilege to get to know it and shoot this series as a lfe
Dreamland
A recent commission to capture the colour and characters of Dreamland, a newly reopened fairground – once London’s answer to Coney Island. As a lifestyle photographer I’m lucky to go on a good amount on travel assignments - even to Margate.
