We recently made some enhancements to our blog, moving towards a more visual structure. Have a browse...there are some bits that were previously buried, hopefully it will just make it all a bit easier to walk around. Still a few glitches I’m sure; more past content will be going up over the coming weeks. There is work across the areas I work in as a lifestyle photographer, advertising photographer and portrait photographer.
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.
Kevin Moyo
A little motion profile piece of basket ball player Kevin Moyo. Shot in Peckham, South London. We loved Kevin's story - he's not the tallest but boy is he fast. Alongside the motion piece we also produced a set of stills. I’m shooting a lot more motion along side my stills work as a sports portrait photographer.
Nigel Farage
Recent commission to shoot the cover of Newsweek. Shot in London for the iconic New York based publication. The imminent royal wedding meant we had no difficulty tracking down some Union Jack flags in central London and, love him or loath him, Mr Farage is a dream to any portrait photographer.
Kane
Cover shoot and main feature in FourFourTwo’s World Cup Special edition. Featuring Harry Kane - I have shot harry a few times in my role as a sports portrait photographer. Shot up in North London a few weeks back after training. I have worked with Harry a few times now and he seems to get leaner and taller every time...bring on The World Cup.
Chris Powell
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.
Cundall - Image Library
A recent commission from international multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy Cundall. Cundall currently operates in the UK, Australia, Asia, MENA, and Europe. We produced a small image library of assets showcasing staff at work and play at their London office. Their office was bright, modern and spacious allowing me to a wide range of images as a commercial photographer.
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.
Benefit Cosmetics
New advertising photography work for Benefit Cosmetics. We took care of all aspects of the shoot production from styling to post. Shooting at Big Sky, the assets will form a pivotal part of the company’s UK influencer marketing for the year ahead.
England Manager
Recent sports portrait of England manager Gareth Southgate. Shot up at The FA’s St. George's Park training facilities in the midlands.
Cover for CCBJ Magazine.
Recent portrait shoot for US based CCBJ magazine. Shot in London featuring Cheri McGuire, Group Chief Information Security Officer at Standard Chartered. Prior to this she held senior cybersecurity roles at Microsoft, the US Department of Homeland Security. We shot on location at the firms City based office.
Third Sector Awards.
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.
Brendan Rodgers
Some recent sports portraits for The Coaches Voice of Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. Shot on location up in Scotland. We captured the early morning training session with the Celtic players in Lennoxtown. These were taken on the pitch with the dramatic rural landscapes in the background.
Parallax
Here is some recent moving image Parallax work. High quality, polished and engaging motion results at a fraction of the cost of video.
A new medium which can provide a cohesive, consistent look and feel across your print and digital output. Provides a piece of content which is ideal for short, sharp messaging such as OOH or social.
One shoot to cover all - no video shoot required. Motion can be created from the very best still shots. Ideal for when time is limited, maximising the budget and scope of content created.
New Portfolio
A little video showing my current printed portfolio which we recently updated with new work. New additions include shoots in San Francisco and Paris. We are busy taking it out around town so shout if you want to grab a coffee and look at some pretty pictures. The work in the book cover my work as a lifestyle photographer, advertising photographer and portrait photographer.
The Wolves Manager
Women Power
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.
