I was asked by Ch&Co Group, a commercial catering company, to shoot a food showcase event, which they were organising to pitch to some potential clients. As the chefs were going to all the effort of cooking up a great display of food and the staff were pulling all the stops out to make up samples and informative … Read More
After the last shoot for Danubius Hotel Regents Park, we got talking about social media and the marketing team were sharing their frustration with the fact that they were so well located but it was a struggle to highlight this. So I offered to map out all the key sites in good reach of the … Read More
I was delighted to be asked back again by The City of London to photograph at their yearly Community Fair held in the stunning Guildhall Yard. I love shooting this event, it’s full of families and happy children, friendly stall holders and fabulous costumed characters wandering around…… Added to that, there is wonderful performances by … Read More
This was just a brief shoot to capture a few bedroom set-ups, including the bridal decoration, cricket competition (The Danubius is next to Lords Cricket Ground) and spontaneous shot of wine and cheese at the end. ” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”510″]
I was asked by Demandware to shoot some brand new head-shots for their staff at at their head office. A tech company, based in Southwark, they had a high number of staff that needed to be shot, in a similar fashion. The images would then be used for staff security passes, LinkedIn and any other … Read More
Some fun spontaneous portraits of the well dressed vintage scene who attended the fantastic Hep Cats dance weekender. These shots were taken when I was ‘swung-over’ (basically the feeling you get when you’ve been swing dancing far too much the night before) and wanted some fresh air. So I grabbed my trusty Olympus Pen, which … Read More
I love this dish from Julie Montagu’s ‘The Flexi Foodie’. I like her philosophy as she believes in eating healthy most of the time, but not to worry too much if you want the odd ‘unhealthy’ treat. She says “By adding more superfoods into your diet, you will naturally start to crowd out the bad ones”. You … Read More
When I am running around, planning, meeting, shooting, editing etc, I need energy and I often want it quickly. So when a friend recommended Ella Woodward’s Raw Coconut and Cacao Bites recipe, I went a little nutty (groan) and made a whole tub of them! They’re great to prepare in advance and grab as a little … Read More
I came across the stunning Stag Gentlemans Hair Salon in Mill Hill Broadway on recommendation from a friend and in the end used the owner/barber Josh (left) and barber Ryan as models in the shoot, which worked out really well. When you have a stunning location like this, great looking and funky models and the … Read More
The same day that we shot for Worldpay, we drove to The Scullery kitchenware shop in Muswell Hill for part two of the My Business Hub photography shoot. This time we had full use of the empty shop as we planned the shoot to start after it closed to customers and all the people in … Read More
Worldpay were planning to launch a new all-in-one payment system and needed images to support the marketing of this new product. They required photos to use on an email marketing campaign and their website so the Marketing Manager approached me and explained that prior to this shoot, most of the photos they’d used before came … Read More
So I’ve now just completed my fourth cleaning company photo-shoot and, alongside other shoots I’ve done for hotels and my feature “behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace” that involved capturing staff at work cleaning, I think I’ve developed a little niche in cleaning photography. Strange where this career takes you………..! This time the shoot was … Read More
Delighted to see the issue of Roast Magazine out this month, celebrating all the iconic restaurant has to offer as well as other foodie features, recipes and some great behind-the-scenes pics – captured by staff. In preparation for the page 10 feature and the Roast Website, I was delighted to meet the new head chef Stuart … Read More
I was hired to shoot the Annual Conference for Worldpay UK again this year, this time at The Northumberland Hotel. As always, the brief included capturing the different speakers, panel, audience and overview of the room as well as the tech demonstrations during the break. A little snapshot below: ” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]
I love coffee and am pretty picky about the stuff. So I feel slightly vindicated now I know that specialists in the industry take the process of brewing it as seriously as I take drinking of it. A record-breaking number of baristas took part in the annual BaxterStorey Barista Championship this year, which is driven via … Read More
This was the final result from a shoot for Creativevents Ltd, a company that provides catering services to lots of major event spaces such as Earl’s Court, Excel London, Winter Wonderland and so on. They wanted the shots to be fun and light-hearted to represent their brand and the energy of the young team, so their … Read More
I love books. The way they look, scattered on a coffee table or piled high on a shelf. The promise they hold inside their covers of stories, facts and information. Even better, old, historical books, possibly with a light scattering of dust and a musty aroma. So to be asked to shoot an event in a great library, such as this one at One … Read More
I was asked to photograph the whole team at Roast, who are celebrating Roast’s 10 year anniversary and still doing a thriving business. It was also a chance to photograph the new head chef Anthony Fletcher and prove that a chef smiling in a photograph is a great idea. Having spent quite a lot of time … Read More
Unlike the last shoot, which was rainy, this time when I went across to shoot some more staff for Holroyd Howe (this time at their head office in Reading), the sun was shining gloriously and the wind was blowing quite a gale! As anyone who shoots knows, sunshine, wind and head shots – now that’s … Read More
Over several months this summer, I popped along to a variety of trade shows on behalf of Worldpay UK and shot photos of their trade stands. The brief was to capture the stands themselves – so they could use the photos for future reference when planning, people milling and interacting with the stands and staff … Read More
