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.

ES Cover Shoot - Food Special
A very tasty recent shoot photographing ES Magazine's food special. Nuno Mendes (below), The Clove Club, Tonic and Remedy, Izy Hossack and supper club hosts Jackson & Levine (pictured below with pineapples on their heads). As a lifestyle photographer I am often asked to turn my attention to food - and I’m always happy to eat the results.

The Royal Ballet
Part of an ongoing commission for easyJet, photographing the full spectrum of people who use their airline...the 'easyJet generation'. Yuhui Choe and Tristan Dyer are soloists for the Royal Ballet. Shot at Holborn Studios, London. As a portrait photographer I love these shoots - the range of subjects is just great.
ES Magazine Florists
I shot this feature for ES Magazine looking at the changing face of London’s floristry scene. As a lifestyle photographer I was tasked with looking at some of the new wave of flower shapers who are injecting some rock and roll into the once pedestrian past time.
Jamie Oliver
A recent shoot with the naked chef aka Jamie Oliver at his Old Street, London, HQ. Shot for Timeout. Jamie has launched Food Tube Magazine which will appear as an inserted section in Timeout. We shot first thing in the morning...after Jamie had finished eating his huevos rancheros. A lovely lifestyle shoot in central London.
Le Comptoir Général
I was recently commissioned to travel to France to shoot this quirky lifestyle travel feature on Le Comptoir Général in Paris. The LCG, as it is known, is run like a department store, with concessions operated by an eclectic bunch of traders. Most of the staff have links with Africa, cross-continental characters who effortlessly mix what they term ‘ghetto cool’ from homelands like Morocco or Togo with Parisian flair to create the kind of edgy street style spotted in New York or London but rarely seen in France’s highly polished capital. Here a a few of the characters I met.
