  Eden Mill Hip Flask SeriesI spent a few days on the Fife Coast in Scotland over the summer photographing the small but beautiful Hip Flask Series for Eden Mill. From St Andrews to Crail and Anstruther to Pittenweem, the idea was to capture the hazy summer days by the coast, the perfect spot for a dram and quiet contemplation.

  Clayton's CocktailsClayton’s Cocktails was an idea born in lockdown at Clayton’s Marlow, an award-winning bar, renowned for bringing quality music and serving up expertly mixed cocktails to the those in the know. With both the dance floor and glasses empty they needed a way to get the music and cocktails to people’s homes and so it began. I created a suite of images that brought to life the unique personality of each cocktail and the music that inspired them.
