Early start pays dividends

Occasionally, an early start to a shoot pays dividends. On the way to a shoot in Ely this week, my journey took me on some delightful roads between Downham Market & Ely.
On one of the B roads, I came across this delightful scene.

Just before sunrise, I lumped the 4×4 onto a verge and shot a few frames – The sheep soon ran away, so I sat it out for 20-30 mins and eventually they returned, getting used to the shivering photographer in smart shoes, mud on the jeans and a funny bobble hat! I managed to shoot a couple of further frames with the 24mm and finally got the one I wanted.

A truly great way to start the day

Shooting for a Superb Local Charity

I’m always incredibly proud when my work appears in print, on websites and on advertising collateral.
No matter if it’s a small company or large corporate, the fact that they trust you to supply wonderful imagery and uphold their high standards is testament to the hard work I put into each and every shoot.

I’ve been working with the BigC Cancer Charity in Norfolk for a few years, often seeing my work on the side of buses, in print or on big advertising pitches throughout the region.
Last week the charity launched their Online Support Centre website – using a lot of my imagery.
The website has been a key development in the charity and is a great online platform/information portal.

if you only support one charity, consider a local one!

Fabulous Cambridge Office Space

A recent visit to my second home, Cambridge, saw me shooting images for one of my lovely regular clients.

Beautiful colours, bright rooms and fabulous offices… this isn’t your normal business centre.

Back to Medical Imagery

I was back to my roots a few months ago (having previously worked as a medical photographer) at a lovely health centre in the midlands, shooting images for the medical press.

A great couple of days shooting, working with some of the many committed and passionate NHS employees.

Dame Esther Rantzen | AUC Patron

Recently I was in Central London photographing the Age UK Camden AGM, which was attended by Dame Esther Rantzen, who is AUC Patron.
An enjoyable, and lively AGM.

Sonrisa Workshop in Cambridge

Part of a Fabulous shoot in Cambridgeshire, as part of a regional music platform.
Visiting a few colleges and academies, I had pleasure watching professional musicians come into the classroom, working with young people to create inspirational pieces of music that were later performed to a wider audience.

The arts are so culturally important and thankfully funding from some government, EU and private sectors enables these programs to continue, which in turn help empower and develop young people.

Lovely Corporate Shoot in Norwich

Alan Boswell Group Insurance. Photoshoot September 2019

Using lots of natural light, a couple of small strobes and some wonderful colourful wall space, it was a joy capturing images of the Alan Boswell Group and their happy staff.

 

A great bunch of people to work with in a super office space.

Working with @AgeUKCamden

What an absolute pleasure to be working in Camden today with @AgeUKCamden and seeing my work used so heavily on their awesome literature.
Not only have I had great fun meeting and photographing some of the older residents in the borough, It’s also been an opportunity to learn about their lives, the local area and build strong relationships with some truly inspirational individuals.
