Yeah! My first photo book is published. GLORIOUS! - In Search of China’s New Elites. Its a comprehensive insight into the new and young elites of China. Its been a long time coming - (three years) but well worth it. Really happy with the design of it (Thank you, 3030 press) and of course the photography. It was hard work to produce - the main difficulty was getting subjects onboard, for every successful portrait I had several rejections and of course access to the VIP events was challenging… For more info on the book check it out the publishers page.

The lovely Kate Edwards commissioned me to make three portraits for a story on last years toxic gas cloud that hit Birling gap by Beachy head last summer. All three were on-location portraits by the sea, including an RNLI coxswain, and two member of public who suffered from the mysterious gas cloud. The story can be read here. Published on 14th April 2018.

My portrait of crazy cigar puffing Chinese billionaire Yuan Yafei, owner of UK’s House of Fraser, was published earlier this month. The portrait was taken in his HQ in Nanjing, China.

In late 2017, I was commissioned by Boston-based Vertex Pharmaceuticals to make a bank of images of their UK operations in Oxfordshire and London. Licensing was primarily for external and internal communications, with a focus on recruitment and so showing the diversity of their British team was important. Here is an image from the production which was made cover for their company-wide equity summary for employees.
