About  image
About
I am a British born professional freelance photographer focusing on providing photography and video for brands, corporate clients and editorial publications. A calm head, a keen eye for composition, and a natural ability to connect with my subjects are some of my strengths. I bring a wealth of experience of working with CEO’s, actors, pop stars, politicians, royalty, and sports personalities, often in challenging or less-than-ideal conditions.

Background
I started working professionally in 1991 for newspapers after studying Photojournalism on the NCTJ pre-entry course in Sheffield in the UK. Cutting my teeth as a press photographer whilst working for photo agencies in London, I also built up a long list of PR clients. In addition to my press and PR work I spent several years working on assignments abroad for NGO's and Charities, some in countries torn apart by civil wars including Bosnia, Kosovo, Sudan and Rwanda.

What types of Photography and Video coverage do I offer?

Brand & PubIicity visuals - I specialise in delivering photography and video to a diverse array of brands and organisations capturing visuals that are essential for press release, social media and publicity.
I can provide fast turnaround times and on-site image transmission, ensuring your content is ready for immediate distribution when needed.
I am currently working with several cycling related brands and for some of those brands have been shooting abroad in the beautiful surroundings of Girona in Catalonia which has become a mecca for cyclists around the world.
I am responsible for providing official photography to the world’s largest telecoms event, Mobile World Congress, where I manage a team responsible for the capture and distribution of more than 95,000 images to the world’s media.
Other events I work at frequently include Cannes Lions, Cannes Film festival & Eurofinance.
For several years I've collaborated with the The Metropolitan Police in London to document their officers at work for recruitment campaigns & most recently in 2023 captured the Officers who played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and success of King Charles' coronation in London.

Portraits - whether it's for professional headshots, family portraits, or personal projects, I can create images that leave a lasting impression, making each image a reflection of your true self or the unique character of the subjects I capture. One of the key advantages I offer is the flexibility of on-site setups, complete with portable lighting. This allows for a controlled and tailored environment, whether it's in a studio, at an event, or within the comfort of your chosen location. The use of portable lighting ensures that we achieve the perfect ambiance for your portraits.

Aerial capture - in addition to ground-based photography and videography, I am licensed drone operator and offer stunning perspectives from the sky to enhance your projects and narratives.
