Looking very serious listening to my brief

Aerial shots for Paramount Pictures

My Story

My parents bought me a camera at 15 and it changed my life. I realised I was creative and it was the best feeling in the world.

That camera was a window into a magical world of creativity. I've been hooked ever since.

At 20 I wanted to really go for it, so I left the UK to serve an apprenticeship with an American advertising photographer. That blew me away and I knew the advertising world was for me.

I stayed in the US for nearly two decades. I shot ad campaigns for some of the biggest names in business and established successful studios in Philadelphia and New York.

I've shot womens fashion in Philadelphia, rock climbers in California, CEOs in New York and business executives in Mexico City. I've shot mens fashion in London and Rome, portraits in Siberia and hotel ads in Tokyo. I've also managed not to faint while shooting open heart surgery (much harder than I imagined) nor lose my nerve hanging out of a helicopter.

My clients include: Merck, Bank of America, GlaxoSmithKline, Hyatt Hotels, Comcast, Paramount Pictures, Johnson & Johnson, The Salvation Army, Verizon, The University of Pennsylvania Health System, Lifetime Television, Charles Tyrwhitt

Since returning to the UK I concentrate on Portraits and Fashion. I shoot principally in London but am available to shoot anywhere you'd like to send me.

How I Can Help You

We're all subjected to a tsunami of pretty pictures every day, almost all of which are immediately forgotten.

Images with lasting impact are very different.

They stop you in your tracks

They captivate you

They're memorable

Making them is a very particular skill. And while there are things I'm not good at (I make terrible tea and can't keep my houseplants alive) I'm very good at creating compelling photographs.

Advertising imagery has a job to do - it has to 'work' and not just look pretty. I'm a successful advertising photographer exactly because I understand this.

I know your ad has to perform

I understand you have a commercial imperative

With me you can be confident your creative strategy will succeed
