I’m HEAT (SAFA) course accredited.

I’m hoping to do more photography with NGO’s and charities over the next couple of years around the globe and on advice of a couple people, I enrolled and completed a HEAT course which stands for Hostile Environment Awareness Training.  Tucked away in the Sussex countryside, myself and 19 humanitarian aid workers were subjected to various nightmare scenarios over three days along with some invaluable first aid training. 


A month later I was invited back to do some photography for the course provider, ILS for their various marketing and communication needs.  Here are a few images from that.

Corporate Assignment for ICAEW

Corporate portraits for a diversity and inclusion campaign by ICAEW.

UK’s largest accounting body, the ICAEW, asked me to make portraits of 30+ ICAEW members and to document a large diversity and inclusion workshop at Bishopsgate Insitute, London. The images were used across their website and a on a D&I social media campaign.  My assistant and I found a spot out of the way to set up for the portraits and the reportage photography of the workshop I used a silent camera as there was also a full film production company working alongside.
