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
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″]
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
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
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
A little drunken (just kidding) cocktail photography shoot for The Jumeirah Carlton Tower hotel group, who wanted some fresh photos of these botanical themed cocktail ahead of a special summer launch. We had a lot of creative fun styling the images for the shoot and making sure the photos look beautiful Bloomin Brilliance Bar. ” … Read More
I was commissioned by The Jumeirah Carlton Tower to shoot the incoming General Manager Katie Benson, who I had photographed about five years before for The Langham London, so it was lovely to see her again. Even though she had a really busy day with inductions and meetings and so on, we managed to grab … Read More
What can you do about the unpredictable British weather? On one of the hottest days of the year so far, RetailChoice.com had their 10th birthday party celebration and it was in the basement of The Haymarket Hotel! Luckily, however, it was one of the coolest spaces I’ve had the pleasure to shoot in. Despite the fact … Read More
Being in the hospitality world and with lots of experience photographing events and parties, I often get asked by my clients to shoot various events for them and their clients. This one was slightly different to the last few parties I had shot as it had a live cooking demonstration to show off Strada’s new menu. I’d eaten at … Read More
We did a shoot across a few of Red Carnation Hotels, which included The Milestone Hotel, The Egerton and The Montague, ticking of a list of images needed for upcoming promotions, editorial and marketing. These are a few of my favourites below: ” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”510″] We also shot this voucher images, which you … Read More
Act Clean, provides specialist cleaning services for customers who want a luxury service, hence the stunning West London location we planned to shoot in.

Cathy Wilcox & Michael Burchmore, who run Wilcox Burchmore, a commercial catering design & installation company, approached me wanting professional photography to update their website & marketing material. They also needed some input on how to go about it as they hadn’t done a professional photo shoot for their business before. I suggested the best … Read More
This was an absolutely wonderful shoot – featuring three of my very favourite things – wine, food and cute animals! I was hired by Roast founder Iqbal Wahhab to accompany him and his new head chef, Stuart Cauldwell, on a trip, alongside their PR company and a food writer, to capture images, as they visited supplies … Read More
Anyone who knows me knows that I love nothing more than afternoon tea. It’s not really the eating part, though that’s fabulous of course, but it’s the artistry behind it, the ceremony and the luxury. For chefs and hotels it’s just a fabulous chance to show off, get creative and of course fill that quiet … Read More
This fabulous Ski Lodge has been set up at The Montague on the Gardens just in time for Christmas and as part of an afternoon of photography at the hotel, I was asked to shoot some images in order for them to market the space. Because this is a new venture, we had to ‘rent … Read More
I was delighted to be asked to do this shoot for The Red Carnation Hotel Group as it meant I got to sleep in the loveliest hotel I’ve ever stayed in – the luxurious 5 Star Summer Lodge. However, don’t be too envious, our two day shoot was long and involved early starts – I … Read More
