My equipment was stolen! Ouch. My Nikon D3s (serial number 2006381) and 24-70mm F2.8 Nikon lens (serial number 20010612) . Can you check in your camera bag if you’ve bought these (and send them back to me – Thanks!) So I had a two day job covering BITC’s Leadership Summit at Tobacco Dock in Shadwell and after…

I got a call from The Brooke (an international animal welfare charity dedicated to improving the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules) as their president HRH Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall was to visit a photographic exhibition to celebrate its 80th anniversary.

This year’s headline act at Inconnections HAC Comedy Christmas Lunch was Dara O’Briain. Do you need the Wikipedia link back there to see who he is? He does seem to be on a lot of TV programs and I’m not surprised; I think he is a very clever, funny man. His current routine includes material…

Here I have sought to capture his energetic delivery style as well as show a snap shot of the increasingly complex slide that was expanding behind…

Sedus filled an eight storey building in Croydon with office furniture and before everyone came in and sat down I photographed it for them. On some of the images I used the daylight, flash and artificial lighting in the same shot *. The artificial light was on a power-saving-eco-setting that would only come on once…

Joanna Lumley (my keyboard defaults to type National Treasure after her name) and James Corden hosted BITC’s Awards 2013 at The Royal Albert Hall. This is a shot during the rehearsal which was a very quick run through of where they would be standing and sitting. Most of the content of the performance and Q&A…

As well as taking photographs I like to think my expertise extends to the eating of pizza. It was the perfect storm of my skill sets the day I photographed Ponti’s Italian Kitchen for their new website. The oven flame was used to cook the Quattro Stagioni as well as dramatically backlight it. Che bello!
One of areas targeted by the Prince’s Regeneration Summit is Burslem (one of the six towns that make up Stoke-on-Trent, doncha know?).
