About me
Some of the of the most prestigious and well respected World-wide Brand leaders and FTSE100 companies fly me round the world to deliver timely, creative, perceptive images & video. Creative image production whether it’s still or moving is what I do. I don’t just take a picture with a nice camera, I invest heavily in what the client needs the end viewer to want, how it stimulates them and ultimately bring added value to the client. OH...and I've been round the world in record 100hours documenting one of the biggest 'Boy Band's" on the planet as well as danced on a fish tank with Madonna! Some of my clients include : McKinsey & Company, Google, Coca Cola, The Financial Times, Nike, Adidas, Deutsche Telekom, Sony, The Nelson Mandela Foundation, Columbia Business School, Cable & Wireless, JP Morgan, Intel, Daimler Chrysler, Carlsberg, Burger King, Unilever and MasterCard. I have also recently started to bring some of my experience & experiences to a wider audience, giving them insight on how to deal with massive change in an industry, people management and what I call 'seeing differently'.

They are also traditionally associated with memories, both in cinema and literature. And they
