I am a lifestyle and still-life photographer and shoot products, food and people. I enjoy the process of creating inventive beautifully lit images from diverse briefs, love to create moods, enhance form, and also produce provocative and tempting images.
My photographs have been commissioned by both small companies as well as large international corporations, the images have appeared in the national press and numerous outdoor advertising campaigns, including 48 and 96 sheet posters, cross rail advertising in the London Underground and front of packaging for well known consumer brands. Also my animations have been used for global digital campaigns.
During the last thirty years I have photographed many people, some of them household names, some very poor, others who are immensely wealthy and a few that were later found guilty of various crimes and later served prison sentences (they were wealthy individuals)….
I collaborate with a wide range of specialists to develop creative concepts and am always willing to add imagery advice to campaigns and projects. Often I’m asked to Art Direct shoots too, it could be during the shoot itself or quite often to give creative advice pre-production.
In the 1980’s I spent three years at Salisbury Art College after which I assisted several photographers before setting up my own business in 1990 - 1991, since then I have taken all sorts of photos for wide ranging clients, this has given me in-depth ability that is usually expected by my clients.
My studio is a 19th century chapel, it has good space with a high ceiling, well equipped with lighting and props, as well as a fully fitted spacious kitchen for all the food photography. It is located close to the A1 motorway, rail stations, and within easy reach of London.

Using the latest imagery techniques I explore the properties of art, technicalities of composition, plus emotion, elegance and beauty. Never shy of a challenging brief I will always listen to the client and their requirements.

Projects
- Content Creation animation for Madame F winePart of a series of animations and still images I have been creating for Madame F wines. The imagery being used for their website and Instagram account. Profit from the sale of the wine - Madame F is a creative collaboration with Queer Britain, a charity that is working to create the UK’s first national LGBTQ+ museum.
- Street Photography in CorfuAn afternoons wonder around Corfu town and my observations I love using b/w photography for these types of subjects, using a digital red filter made the deep blue skies black, adding contrast to the scenes, giving separation between the light toned buildings and the sky and increasing the graphic nature of the hard lines.
