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.

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.

Fashion and Beauty
I have recently been working with 4 of the biggest fashion and beauty bloggers in partnership with leading cosmetic surgery firm Transform.
We produced all aspects of the shoot in-house from styling to location scouting.
“This is a significant and groundbreaking campaign not only for us but for the UK cosmetic surgery industry, ” said Steven Taylor, marketing director at Transform.
We shot at a location house in North London, producing an entire suite of lifestyle imagery.
World Cancer Day
A recent project for 'World Cancer Day' in conjunction with Cancer Research UK. A series of compelling images used to highlight the 'Unity Band'- a wristband worn to support ongoing research. Shot using models who had recently overcome the disease at White Rabbit Studios in East London using Kino lighting. As an advertising photographer its great to shoot something for such a good cause.
Investec
A recent commission from the private banking arm of Investec. We shot some relaxed and engaging portraits of their wealth mangers for use across print collateral. On location at Thompson Hotel in Belgravia. As a commercial photographer the hotel provided a wonder location.
Max Factor
Frankie Bridge shot for MaxFactor as part of her fund raising efforts in partnership with P&G for Marie Curie. As an advertising photographer not all shoots take place in big sweeping studios - this one the basement of a hotel in central London.
Movember Campaign
I was recently asked to shoot a series of images for Movember to raise awareness and participation in the ever popular charity event. As an advertising photographer this is exactly the sort of shoot I love to get involved with. The images involved recreating a number of iconic characters and moments but using 'real men' as the protagonists. Shot at White Rabbit with styling and pops by Alice Timms, H&M by Sadaf Ahmad, assisted by Tim Jobling, set builds by Cloud and Horse. Produced in-house.
DofE Campaign
Here are a series of 5 images shot for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
As part of their Diamond Anniversary celebrations, they are inviting everyone to take part in a challenge inspired by the DofE awards, asking you to take on your own adventure, personal or skill challenge...From Kayaking the Zambezi to learning to bake.
As an advertising photographer we put the whole shoot together in house from location recce, styling and grooming services - right through to the retouch. The images will be rolled out over the coming year to help raise funds for this valuable charity. Budget was tight so all the images were shot in and around London over a two day period.

RNLI
We were recently called upon by the RNLI to shoot a series of advertising images to promote their mass participation event 'H2only'. The sponsored challenge sees if people can drink just water for ten days. The images are being used on bus backs and tube advertising. Below is also the scamp that was used in the original brief. We took care of all aspects of production in house to make the scamp a reality.
Wiggle Campaign
Recent images from a campaign commissioned for Wiggle the UK’s largest online bike and tri-sports retailer. Shot on location at the Olympic park London and in the studio, the print and billboard adverts will form part of a multimillion-dollar marketing drive aimed at increasing penetration in the UK and Australia. As an advertising photographer I could not have wanted for a better team. Thanks everyone.
Night Shoot - Drivers
Here is a recent behind the scenes video of a shoot for leading London transportation company Addison Lee. The image, to be used across their corporate literature, was produced to show off their range of vehicles and drivers.
