Pool Ice-cream
Looks like it’s going to be another sunny weekend so I thought It would be a great time to share my new personal work ‘pool ice creams’ It’s part of my long running project called Faux food.
A dozen dead roses
It’s soon Valentines day, a day for which 250 million roses get produced and in the UK alone around £1.9 billion gets spent on flowers. So I thought it apt to share my latest personal project ‘A dozen dead roses’.
It’s a study of how the beauty of roses remains even after they’ve died. Shot at the end of the day as the sun sets the light change brings warmth back into the rose petals.
Tasty treats with shortlist magazine.
At the end of last year shortlist magazine asked me to shoot some lovely food for them. A super tasty bibimbap perfect for the detox in the new year and some alternative BLT sandwiches invented by Max the genius behind Max’s sandwich shop. The shoot was great fun and I got to work with the talented Rob Morris who styled all the food, his stack of BLT sdwiches was a feat of engineering!
Sainsbury's every bit of Christmas campaign
My latest campaign for Sainsbury's is out and about in the run up to the big day!
It was great to work with the guys from Wiedens again, it was a busy shoot taking place in August so was a little surreal having the sights and smells of a full on Christmas feast.
Working with the talented Katie Giovanni a storm in the kitchen, her biggest hit was the roost potatoes the crew were queueing up to finish off the extras!
A merry Monocle christmas
It's that time of year again my 10th Monocle christmas guide. I love seeing what Josh at Monocle gets in for the gift guide and this year was a great one I wanted to take 90% of it home which is always a good sign!
This year was a sneak peek into the front room to see what Monocle santa had left for the big day.
Thunderbirds are GO!!!!
Great to see my Halifax Thunderbirds ads I shot for Adam & Eve DDB up on billboards all over the place. Was also great to become part of Thunderbirds history at the same time. My shoot was the last time the Thunderbirds were filmed and photographed in the original studio that Gerry Anderson set up all those years ago, sadly now the studio is being knocked down. Was great to get to see it and all the amazing sets and meet the famous puppets
Happy Easter/mothers day from Sainsbury's
Great to see more of my Sainsbury's launch campaign out and about, this time for Mothers day and now Easter.
Shot for the wonderful guys at Wiedens.

Summer is coming time for ice lollies or maybe skullsicles? Here is the latest and final shot in the skull lolly series. Skullsicle was made by the guys at Hamilton ice sculptors who did a fantastic job.
