I’m excited to finally share the key art photography I shot of Greg Davies for the third series of The Cleaner. During the shoot, we experimented with creating blood splatter effects using TV-safe blood, but it either looked too gory for the BBC or didn’t splatter convincingly. Thankfully, the retoucher did a fantastic job perfecting it in post. 

I also had the pleasure of shooting the key art for the second series, which you can see here. 

Recently, I had a portrait assignment for the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, photographing writer Anne Applebaum. Over the years, I’ve done countless portraits for various publications, so I’m used to working quickly. Often, the interview takes priority, and I get just the last 10 minutes with the subject. The silver lining in those situations is that while the writer conducts their interview, I can scout locations and set up, making the most of my limited time.

This assignment, however, seemed like it would be different—45 minutes with Anne, no writer or interview involved. It sounded like a rare luxury. But when I arrived at the location, I was told I was late, and Anne needed to be at BBC studios for a live interview. Turns out, the publicist had given me the wrong time!

After some persuasion, I was allowed in and given five minutes to shoot. Miraculously, I didn’t leave any gear behind in the rush. It would have been fantastic to have more time for both Anne and me to settle in and feel comfortable, but I was happy to walk away with a decent portrait. Probably my fastest—and possibly most stressful—assignment to date.

I’m really chuffed to have my ‘self assigned’ photo series on La Palma nominated as a finalist in this years AOP Photography Awards in the Documentary category, second year in a row!  Below are the submitted images from the project.

My photography series on La Palma was published in The Telegraph Magazine as a 5-page feature last weekend. Thrilled to see the German sunbathers as the double page spread opener. 

I was recently tasked with creating a series of photos featuring BACB’s staff at their newly refurbished London HQ. These images were intended to add a touch of vibrancy to this year’s Annual Report. Capturing high-quality and engaging imagery in office settings can be challenging, but with careful planning and by securing the participation of various employees, we produced images that both the BACB bank and board members were very pleased with.  Below are some of the images used in the annual report.
