Here are a few images from my recent travels around California over the Christmas break. San Francisco, LA and Palm Springs via Big Sur and Santa Monica and Santa Barbara...with a bit of a wine stop in Solvang. It's good to take time off but being a lifestyle and advertising photographer the cameras are never far away.
Hive - Lifestyle Shoot
Some recent lifestyle work for Hive. Produced in London during a very intense week of shooting. The shoot focused on a number of their security products. We used a location house to shoot numerous setups both internally and externally producing an image bank to be used across various asset set.
Stand up to Cancer - Celebrity Portrait Shoot
A fun recent shoot for Stand Up To Cancer who decide to dress a number of their celebrity supporters up as trailblazers: people they felt have been pioneers in their particular field. The images received wide speed press attention. As a portrait photographer its great to work on fun shoots like this. Shooting with Sam Thompson, Joe Lycett, Greg Rutherford, Andrea McLean, Maya Jama, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Roisin Conaty, AJ Odudu and Roman Kemp. We shot at The Worx over a number of days and looked after all aspects of the production form styling to post.
Rehearsal Room
London musicians, new portrait photography series:
This week sees the launch of my new portrait photography series, capturing musicians practising outdoors across urban spaces in London. Not everyone wants to live next-door to someone who plays the double bass, the trumpet - or any large and loud instrument for that matter.
This consideration certainly forces musicians to get creative about their rehearsal space, which increasingly includes outdoor spaces. Studio rents are rising enormously for all creatives, especially in London, as old buildings get sold for office spaces and other developments. With rehearsal spaces becoming more expensive, some musicians use public spaces and parks to get in some of their rehearsal hours.
I spent the summer finding some of the musicians, who are utilising the corners of parks, tucked away basketball courts and forgotten patches of grass between tower blocks to get their essential practice hours.
The warmer summers, squeeze on creative space and increasing population density all contributes to this growing phenomenon, which has resulted in a really unique set of portraits.

Croatia
A recent lifestyle travel shoot in Dubrovnic, Croatia for America Airlines. Shooting in and around the old city just as the recent hot spell started: it was hot. The island of Lokrum just off the city provided some relief from the searing heat and was encharting. As a lifestyle photographer I was spoiled for options; go vist, it’s great.
Neymar - Advertising
Recent advertising photography shoot for BBH Shanghai. We were tasked with capturing images of Neymar for popular Chinese beer brand Harbin. The portrait images will be used across China in a range of forms from social to point of sale. As ever a very tight schedule (and an injured ankle) called for some lateral thinking. We shot a number of excursions from traditional sports portraits to more lifestyle photography. Beloware some of the final images, one of the final pieces of artwork, a small behind the scenes time-lapse and some behind the scenes images.
BTS with Benefit
A recent studio lifestyle shoot for Benefit Cosmetics as part of their new product launch on their Hoola range. We handled all aspects of the shoot production in-house. Working with some of the UK’s biggest influencers we designed a two set shoot plan, allowing us to quickly jump from our tropical jungle setup to a simpler, cleaner plain pink background. Below are some of the final images, some behind the scene images from the shoot day as well as our original scamp for the concept. The images have been rolled out across a number of assets including in-store.
COUPA
A recent shoot for Coupa of their CEO Rob Bernshteyn. Coupa Software is a global technology platform for business spend management. The company is headquartered in San Mateo, California with offices throughout the Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Rob is the perfect subject for any portrait photographer.
Bondi: Australia
Some recent images from Bondi, Australia. I was lucky enough to spend Christmas in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and here are few shots of the early morning beach scene - courtesy of the jet lag. As a lifestyle photographer it was a dream location.
Diogo Pedro
Recent shoot with Diogo Pedro from W Model Management. Shot in South London. I have recently been expanding my work as a lifestyle photographer and Diogo was great to work with. What a look.
Four Quarters
A little personal shoot at the Four Quarters, Peckham, London. As a lifestyle photographer I wanted to show a slightly more gritty and edgy setup.
Swim
A recent shoot with Genevieve Randall From W Models featuring a mix of speedo and addidas. As a sports portrait photographer I wanted to produce a striking set of images with harsh light cutting angles.
Dawson's
As a lifestyle photographer I headed down to shot down to East Dulwich, South London and shot this set featuring Charlie Hill from W Model Management. Shot using available light.

Philadelphia
Been shooting for a lot for state side publications and organisations of late. Here is a lovely little commission off the rather gorgeous looking Philadelphia Magazine. As a portrait photographer you couldn’t wish for more from a location.
The Elephant
Recent shoot with Fabian Johnson in Elephant and Castle, London. We shot using natural lines and shapes to pick out details and colour. Styling by Hollie Lacayo. The architecture around the Elephant and castle is a dream to any lifestyle photographer and we were spoilt for choice.
The Ditch
A little lifestyle shoot in and around Shoreditch. We shot late in the day to capture the lovely autumn light and colours.
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.

Potrero Hill
Shot on San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, here are a few more images from my recent Athleisure shoot. We chose the location because it provided a strong sense of place with great views across the city, as well as vibrant colours from the mural which we used as a graphic backdrop. Shooting in high temperatures with strong harsh sunlight, we scrimmed the sun and bounced in available to fill. As a lifestyle photographer more used to working in London the heat make a pleasant change.

Here are some more images from my recent Athleisure shoot in San Francisco. These were taken right by the landmark Golden Gate Bridge and recreation ground Crissy Field. Styling and makeup was handled by Californian-based stylist Michelle Rivet. It was a great shoot and and i’m really happy with the images - a great addition to my body of work as a lifestyle photographer.
