I photographed Vicky and Chloe for their blog in Holland Park. They had a lot of ideas and we exchanged several emails with references as well as talking and discussing ideas. There's always a question of where to shoot as the process of transforming ideas into production takes place. What I love about photography is […]
I spent a couple of days with Aging2.0 photographing their hackathon on Ageless Travel. The event was an eye opener, with young techies working alongside senior experts to improve travel for the older generation. The growth in older population is will change the economy and what Age2.0 is working at is to help business tackle this. Developers […]

Selina Blocklinger was in the studio for her acting headshots. We worked for around 1 hour and took some natural daylight shots, followed by studio flash for a more polished look. I always try out different moods with actors so we can figure out what works best. In these shots I feel Selina's sense of […]
