For the past few years now I have been working closely with the cosmetic surgery firm Transform. The company has undergone a total refresh of all of their imagery – most importantly now only using real patients in all marketing material. The images – shot at locations across the UK form the backbone of the companies identity and engagement strategy. The campaign has been widely recognised picking up award short-listings in the marketing society awards along side BT Sport (AMVBBDO), Premier Foods (JWT London), Jaguar Land Rover (spark 44). The work has been commended at the Drum awards as well as picking up a Charted Institute of Marketing Excellence Award.

Channel 5 - Big Brother Stills
Here are a few stills shot for Channel 5 to promote their flagship shinny floor show Celebrity Big Brother. Shot across eleven days at eight different locations ranging from a gym to a tiny bedroom in a Georgian house. Battling with the ever-changing locations the brief was to achieve a consistent look and feel across the images. You will see them appearing all over the place as the show airs...and yes I did get to meet Gary Busey...which was interesting.

A recent spread from ES Magazine on the rising trend of hipster vicars. Shot at Spitalfield’s Church; these tattooed, moustachioed, skinny jean wearing pair were not your usual god bothering types.

Angela Hartnett

Psychologies - Paris - London
Here are some cuttings from the UK edition of Psychologies. I shot a number of portraits for them in Paris and London. The UK part of the shoot was delayed for a number of weeks as we waited for some blue skies to arrive.
The King of Gardening
The undisputed king of gardening; Alan Titchmarsh. Shot at the world famous Chelsea Flower Show. As ever at Chelsea the gardens come together at the last minute – the portrait was shot mid-week before the opening so the real challenge on this shoot was making the garden look complete.
Gareth Malone - Sunday Mirror

Gareth Bale - In Madrid
I was recently commissioned by EA Sports to shoot footballer Gareth Bale out in Madrid at the clubs training ground. As ever time was tight and I had around ten minutes for a couple of different setups with the worlds most expensive footballer.

Covers
Covers covers covers….we like covers: and here are a few recent ones for News International.

The images were shot in and around Shoreditch the creative heart of London as the sun rose. The images are used across all collateral.

Although to international audiences she is primarily known for her role as Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films or her role portraying Marnie Stonebrook in the HBO series True Blood.
