Hi, thanks for looking, I hope you’re finding what you need and like the pictures, I've really enjoyed taking them.

To kick things off here's a behind the scenes film from my collaboration with the performance artist Jos Houben and the team at Original Editions...

I've been a professional photographer for more than 20 years, starting in the press and then as a freelancer since 2006. Now I work with a diverse portfolio of clients ranging from some of the largest commercial and engineering organisations in the world to niche publishers, artists and theatrical companies, I'm also delighted to be a contributor to the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery. 

Here’s some of my work in print...

As you can see, although mostly a people photographer I like to keep things pretty broad and absolutely love a new experience. I love working to briefs and encourage close collaborations wherever possible. My work is largely narrative driven, always beginning with the characters then the story then the shoot. I find this helps to provide warmth and purpose to the images, takes away the feeling of them being posed and helps the subject to feel part of the process. Working frequently on location I’m often building temporary studios wherever the shoot needs to happen and can now do it surprisingly quickly if needed.

Meeting new people a big part of the job and (though I say it myself) I’m pretty good at putting everyone at ease. Being unstressed, and pretty informal, goes a long way towards making this happen of course. This is especially handy as I find that calm interaction, clear instructions and gentle encouragements are more important than just knowing where the shoot button is!

I've been lucky enough to build some great relationships with my clients over the years and as a consequence have worked with many of them for a very long time now, if there is anything that I can help you with please get in touch, I would be more than happy to chat through whatever you need.

Here is the live feed from my Instagram account...

Other less important things to know are that I’m based just outside London in Guildford, Surrey with my wife and 2 young children, I enjoy silly prime time detective shows, my favourite bar is still the Butterfly and the Pig in Glasgow (but this is always open to review) and for unknown reasons I really love a good bridge.

Thanks again for looking, if there is anything I can help you with please do drop me a line or just give me bell, ideally not between 7pm and 9pm though as that’s dinner and bedtime.

Thanks to Philip Hartley over at Headshot Happy for the lovely enthusiastic portrait and the Camera Favicon was created by Gregor Cresnar from the Noun Project.

If you’re still here (wow) and fancy a giggle, here is a film of me shooting the self portrait at the top of the page, look out for the falling camera. I’ve had a haircut since then of course…

…and I’ve stopped pulling that particular stunt after breaking my hip doing something similar and equally stupid.

Finally if you’re really, really bored you can tap here for some links to the equipment and suppliers that I currently like to use.

Thanks for looking, remember to smile, see you soon.
