Minimising my environmental impact on the planet has been something close to my heart since my early days, although the way I think about it has changed as we become increasingly aware of how much damage we are doing, and the ways in which we are doing it.
I now run my main commercial photography business in such a way as to reduce my carbon foot print, as well as reduce other damaging practices such as the amount of plastic used, and you can read more about it on my page about Running A Sustainable Photography Business.

I met some great characters as part of an advertising campaign for the wealth management arm of Oury Clark. They were all actors who were totally up for acting out the humorous stories that the art directors at 3Flow Creative had written for them.

There used to be a huge Abbey in Chertsey (until Henry VIII dissolved it in 1537 and then dismantled it to make his own palace in nearby Weybridge – so a bit before my time), and although there is very little left, that doesn’t stop monks from The Saint Edward Brotherhood coming to Chertsey every year for the Great Blessing Of Waters.
I was lucky enough to be there this year so managed to take some reportage photos of the event, and then also arranged to visit their fantastic looking monastery in Brookwood, Surrey to take some interior photographs of the building itself.
Read More »Blessing The WatersWhilst looking through my archive for photos themed along the lines of “Dry January” I came across this street photo I took back in 2014. I would often see this chap walking around Chertsey carrying a can of Special Brew in this rather interesting grip; I wasn’t sure if he was trying to hide it from view or whether it was just one of his quirks.
Read More »Definitely Not Dry January.I’m super excited to announce that not one but two of my photos have been selected as part of the Edition 365 Awards, run by the British Journal Of Photography. Edition 365 is a historical award that was conceived to capture one day of every single day for a whole year starting on 11th March 2020, which was the day that the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially declared a global pandemic as a result of COVID-19.

That’s what happened to Thalia Hessey, who Surrey Life Magazine commissioned me to create an environmental portrait of for their feature on her and her achievements.
I met Thalia and the editor on location at Buckland Park Lake where Thalia arrived with her Team GB kit already on. We were shooting in the middle of the day and the sun was out and high, so not ideal lighting conditions for a portrait. I also had to photograph her by the lake where there was no cover to mask her from the sun, but luckily my Elinchrom Ranger battery powered lights had enough power to open up the shadows and reduce their harshness.
