Images from a recent personal project. Shot at Holborn studios with hair and makeup by www.sadafmakeup.com. This small series of reflective portraits explores the relationship between the body and emotional memories.
Sport Uncovered
The first in a long series. I have spent the last year getting leading figures in the world of UK sport to shed the Lycra and pose naked. A celebration of the body at its peak. Sport magazine will be featuring one image every two weeks, both female and male – abled bodies and from Paralympic disciplines. Follow thislink to see the set in the projects section of my website as it grows….Read an article in the Daily Mail on the shoot here.

Campaign Images
A recent commission for Kite to shoot their latest campaign. We also handled all aspects of production working with stylist Alice Timms and art director Chris Bell. We devised an angular shooting style using a gobo technique to creative dramatic light streaks behind the subjects, mirroring the brands logo and complementing the new metal range.
Sterling Cover
A recent cover of Forever Sports featuring England international Raheem Sterling. We shot in Liverpool after his daily training session not at Anfield but the close-by Aintree. It was one of Raheem’s first major cover shoots as he cements his place as one of England's most exciting young players.

Party Time
My behind the scenes work for ES Magazine. Lurking backstage at a party thrown by The British Film Institute I followed the party's preparations throughout the day into the evening when the likes of Emily Blunt, Christopher Waltz and Erin O'Connor arrived.

Danny Cipriani
Shot at our favourite Manchester studio Photolink (they are always so helpful) we spent the afternoon with leading rugby player Danny Cipriani. Using a mixture of flash and continuous light to get a set showing movement, speed and agility…oh and his chest, the client was very keen on that.

New Site
Please to announce that I have a lovely new website for you to take a look over. It has been up for a few weeks now as we tinker with it - as well as uploading new content. The site is built in HTML5 (so I'm told) which means you can view it on any device and it should display the same content. We have also worked on the blog (this bit) so that it sits on the main site better and you can jump across to the portfolio pages without getting lost and confused. Check it out…(well you already have sort of).
Scuba
An on-going commission for Easy Jet – I have been shooting a whole host of portraits capturing the different faces that use their airline – the ‘Easy Jet generation’. So far I have shot amongst others a DJ’s, a surfer a model and here a scuba instructor. As a portrait photographer I’m always intrigued who they will find next.
Norway - Into The Wild
Some images from a recent shoot in Norway for a six page travel feature. I spent four days in Northern Norway with an arctic survival guide and former Norwegian Special Forces soldier. It was late summer so the conditions were not as harsh as they could have been. No tents, we slept under the stars and caught fish in remote lakes. So isolated was our location that in the four days we didn't see another person, car, road or in fact any sign of man. As a lifestyle photographer you couldn’t wish for better light or subjects.

Awards
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.
New Portfolio Images

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.
