School Prospectus

Prior to the summer break I had been shooting images for a brand new school prospectus, and from my very first meeting with the Head, it was clear that the school was open to all creative direction. It was felt that the new prospectus should be a sleek and stylized document, with the emphasis on the school’s ethos and character …

Old Job, New Legs

You can read a more detailed description of both the job, and some of the amazing features of the building in my original post here. Now, nearly twelve …

Wild Behind the Scenes

If you’ve looked at my blog at all recently you’ll know that over the last six months or so, I’ve been shooting a project with Chef and Forager, Chris Bax.

Whitemoor Lakes

For the past few days I’ve been assisting my friends at Red90 on a corporate film shoot at Whitemoor Lakes, an outdoor pursuits/action center in Lichfield. We’ve worked together for years, so the guys didn’t sugar coat it at all, I was on this job not because of my experience as a camera operator, but more for my willingness to …

This week I got to eat some amazing food, drove 926 miles, took 3,402 photos, managed to get a total of 29 hours sleep, spent my 35th …

Llanwern High School Opening

Yesterday I was back at Llanwern High School to document the arrival of the pupils and their integration into their new learning environment. They had only opened the previous day, so the whole place was a buzz of excitement and discovery, and a huge difference form the old School building. One of the core design concepts of the build was …

Working On The Wild Side

Next month I start an incredible new commercial job that will see me traveling the length and breadth of the country with chef & bushcraft expert Chris Bax. Along with his wife Rose, Chris has traveled widely and experienced life with indigenous peoples around the globe. His love of food led him into a career as a chef, but the …
