Earlier this year I made a self-assigned trip to Sri Lanka to do some photography on subjects that interest me. I am really happy to have one of the stories I made featured in The Guardian today. A whole photo essay and in black and white - my first monochrome series in about 15 years!  I looked at the Manta ray gill plate trade - used in China for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Sadly, Sri Lanka is one of the biggest killers of these super intelligent creatures. I visited the main fishing port of Sri Lanka, Negombo at night time when fishing fleets return home and offload their catches.  The excellent text was later made by Zinara Rathnayake with the contact details I gathered on my visits there.

Chuffed to have the images reproduced in HET FINANCIEELE DAGBLAD , Hollands’  ‘Financial Times’  today. I have added the dps tearsheet in the gallery below. 

Last month I was commissioned by the ICAEW to make a portrait of member, Abigail Hitchens in London for a profile piece for their social media channels and website.  

We booked the rooftop ‘terrace’ and fortunately the rain held off! Amazing views of St Pauls.

In Autumn last year I did the key art for BBC One’s The Cleaner starring Greg Davies.  It is now released and I’m able to show it!  A challenging shoot due to Gregs enormous height and fake blood is incredibly messy!  It was great to work across all departments including props, costume and HMU and of course the exec producers for the show.  Its great to see it up on BBC iplayer.

In late January I was commissioned by Storm Energia, a company which recycles Lithium EV batteries just outside of Bristol, to make reportage industrial photography of their operations and staff.  My photography is now used across their website and communications.

In January I was in Sri Lanka working on some stories which I hope to share soon. Whilst there I was fortunate to receive an assignment with the NYT. Last Saturday it was published on page of the business section. To see the online piece, view here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/31/business/sri-lanka-economy.html
