Global Representation

Very excited to announce that I have signed a global representation deal with Hancock & Handsome, the newly launched photographic sister agency of the highly respected illustration house Handsome Frank.

 For existing customers this will not result in any change - we will continue to shoot and produce in-house. It does however mean I will have the drive of some very experienced agents knocking on doors in places we would otherwise not be able to reach; not only in London but worldwide.

James Hancock, Jon Cockley and Tom Robinson will run the agency, drawing on their extensive experience in the creative fields.

It's a great honour to be asked on board as a portrait photographer alongside a set of amazing photographers. You can check out their wonderful illustrators at www.handsomefrank.com and see the photographic agencies sparkly new site at www.hancockandhandsome.com

Director magazine

This portrait of Dame Stephanie Shirley, a former child refugee, information technology pioneer and philanthropist, was taken for Director magazine, for their cover and main feature. Dame Shirley was shot at her home using Kino Flo on the 5Dsr...I’m a big fan of her earrings.

Portfolio Video

Here’s a short video offering a glimpse of my portfolio. Shout if you would like to see it in person!

Jehnny Beth - Savages

This is an image of singer/songwriter Jehnny Beth, lead singer and lyricist for rock band Savages. The photo was shot in Hackney, using a narrow depth of field to draw the viewer into the front eye. On her music Jehnny says “artists are creating ‘the world exactly as it should be’. That is the real power of the artists, and I believe in this power.”

Ronnie O'Sullivan - Framed

Pleased to say that my portrait image of Ronnie will be used in his debut fiction crime novel, Framed, published by Orion and out in November this year. The book promises to transport readers to the sordid underworld of 1980’s Soho, full of mobsters, killers and corruption. Sounds intriguing! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36733470

Investec

This shoot for Investec took place at The Hari Hotel in West London. We shot using Investec staff; it was important to try to capture their personality and individuality in the photos, yet still maintain cohesion. Logistically, using a public space such as a hotel comes with its own challenges, but a reccy beforehand to focus on a few specific spots helped get the shoot moving.

These portrait images will be used both above and below the line, across all of Investec’s assets.

Sport 10 Year Anniversary

A big one for Sport for their tenth anniversary edition; we went out to Madrid to shoot Gareth Bale, who featured in the magazine ten years ago at the very start of his career. We shot him post-training at the club’s extensive facilities on the city’s edge. The magazine was running a double cover edition so it was then up to Sheffield to shoot Jessica Ennis-Hill who I have had the pleasure of photographing a few times before. To give the whole edition a celebratory vibe Serge Seidlitz then illustrated across the whole edition. Some behind the scenes images too of the days shot by Naomi Baker. As a sports portrait photographer it was great working with Gareth and Jessica.

Save The Children

A recent shoot for Save The Children. Below is an early stage scamp of the concept and then the end execution below that. We handled all aspects of prop styling and shoot logistics in-house and are very happy with the end result. A fun image that will attract people to STC’s latest fundraising campaign. As an advertising photographer its great to see these images out in the wild doing their thing.

Addison Lee - Advertising Shoot

Twelve above-the-line executions for leading private hire and courier firm Addison Lee. Part of a wider re-design and re-positioning of the brand - their first since inception in the 1970’s.

We handled all aspects of the advertising shoot in-house from model sourcing, styling and studio hire right through to post production. We are very happy with the outcome of what will form a major thrust of a £5 million marketing campaign over the next 12 months.

AOP Awards 2016 - Exhibition and Book

Delighted to announce that three of my images have been selected for the highly prestigious AOP Awards 2016. Frankie Dettori and my nordic rower in the Commissioned Editorial category, whilst my shot for Cancer Research UK is given the nod in the Commissioned Design category. Having three images selected is rare and a huge honour. We look forward to the Awards exhibition later in October at The Old Truman Brewery, Shoreditch, London. As an advertising photographer who works across lifestyle and portraits its great to have my work recognised in this way.

Portugal

I recently headed over to Portugal to work on a travel feature. We started off in Porto in the North and then travelled all the way down to Lisbon and then onto the Algarve.

We explored all three destinations by motorcycle sidecar. Our local guide in Lisbon, Daniel Coelho, summed it up by saying “You can smell the engine, the salt in the air, the washing on the lines and the food on people’s dinner tables”. As a lifestyle photographer portugal was a visual treat.

Key highlights of the trip included visiting LX Factory Complex in Lisbon, which houses numerous great restaurants and bars all located in a huge former printing works.

Steinhoff International

I was tasked with photographing Managing Director Alan Williams, of Steinhoff International, for the inaugural edition of their in-house magazine. Steinhoff are currently undergoing some restructuring, to pull together all their affiliates under one umbrella. The magazine provides a good opportunity for Alan to introduce himself to readers in this time of change. As is often the case with senior figures, we only had a short amount of time to capture Alan so the test for me as a commercial photographer was to pre-light and pre-test everything in advance.

Sport Uncovered

Here are photos of ultra-runner Robbie Britton and golfer Carly Booth for my ongoing work with the Sport Uncovered series. I’m always looking at creative ways to showcase athletes in their ‘natural’ form. Carly’s extensive yoga training has helped her hone her technique for this incredible pose, whilst the use of space in Robbie’s shot symbolises the incredibly long distances he covers as a runner and the mental isolation he endures. As a sports portrait photographer its a privilege to work with athletes at the top of their game.

Fabulous Magazine

We shot a number of leading female athletes for Fabulous, in the run up to the Olympics. Smoke was used to add some GB drama. All post-production was handled in-house, shooting the subject and smoke separately for obvious health and safety reasons. Below is one of the finished images of Becky Downie, as well as a behind the scenes of the smoke shoot. As a sports portrait photographer its always so easy working with those who excel in their disciplines.

Andrew Boff

A couple of images from a shoot featuring politician Andrew Boff. Shot at his office in London’s iconic City Hall building. We used the impressive interior staircase to add some drama to the wider shot before opening up for the tighter images. As a portrait photographer who works on location (as well as in the studio) the building only added to the scene.
