Portraits - Commissioned

A selection of images from my collection.

Comic in a White Suit - Personal Project

Raising money for Comic Relief. After getting a white suit from the Saville Row tailor Oswald Boateng, I had several weeks to complete my project of shooting over 30 British comedians. I emailed hundreds and stated that I would take up no more than 15 minutes of their time a convenient location of their choice. So with no prior knowledge of the setting I arrived with a couple of lights and began to shoot them in inventive ways. The comedians were then invited to sign the suit and we raised money auctioning the suit in their first twitter auction. I also had an exhibition where the sales of the prints were also given to the charity.

Made In Britain - Commissioned

This was a feature to showcase British manufacturers in the UK. I was asked to speak with each company, to see what was possible to photograph and come up with some quirky ideas to hold the interest of the magazine reader.

Classical Music - Commissioned

A selection of images of classical artists.

Corporate Portraits - commissioned

Shot for a variety of magazines and corporate clients. Always looking to push the boundaries of business photography whilst still keeping a traditional edge.

Animal Magic - Commissioned

A series of portraits which ran in Country Life magazine. The brief was to photograph keepers of unusual animals in an engaging and interesting way. I was extremely grateful to the keepers and their help to get my ideas across to get that special shot.

National Treasures - Commissioned

A selection of portraits of artisans of rare crafts whose practises have been in decline in the UK. Some of the subjects you see are one of a hand few that are still practicing their craft and in some case are the only ones left. The images were published as a double page spread in every issue, highlighting that decline.

Leading Lights - Commissioned

A series of 19 portraits to challenge the perception of careers in science, technology, engineering and maths. These portraits are all of Stem ambassadors who tour schools to promote the sciences. I was given a list of hundreds of ambassadors to select the most photogenic opportunities. The images were used as a touring exhibition around the UK to inspire students to take up careers in science.

Gold Refinery - Commissioned

Shot for a feature on the UK's only gold refinery. Through a chemical procedure, 99.99% pure gold is created.

Boxers - Personal Project

After visiting a East London boxing gym , I noticed images around the walls of boxers standing with fists raised and looking quite staged. I wanted to try to improve on this and so I set myself the project of going around boxing gyms and shooting these amazing athletes shadow boxing to camera straight after they had finished with their training. Firstly to get the boxers looking like they had been in a fights but also to freeze frame their muscle tension as they were throwing punches in front of my camera. I also wanted to shoot them in black and white to give a certain ageless feel to the portraits.

The Fights - Personal Project

Shot at various venues around London. Purposely avoiding contact.

MND - Personal Project

Portraits of individuals living with MND and their carers. The single portraits are looking towards their loved ones.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a rare neurological condition that causes the degeneration (deterioration and loss of function) of the motor system (the cells and nerves in the brain and spinal cord which control the muscles in our bodies). This results in weakness and wasting of the muscles.

MND is progressive and symptoms worsen over time. Sadly, MND severely reduces life expectancy and most people with MND die within five years of the onset of symptoms.

Blind Veterans - Personal Project

Veterans that have lost their sight during conflicts between 1954 - 2008
