Another fantastic shoot with the Stunnz team. The long-awaited sun finally came on Sunday. The gritty scenes of Hackney Wick really came alive in the gorgeous low-angle light. It was the perfect setting to bring out the urban glamour look (T-shirt, jeans and heels) we were trying to achieve. Special thanks to Rosie for being my assistance with lighting and creative direction, and our models Kelby, Hadia and Katie.
All will be revealed soon…

Our first shoot at Studio Minot yesterday was a resounding success, despite all the sweats everyone learned and enjoyed a lot – and most importantly we got some fantastic shots. Unfortunately I [...]

I love being at the airport after a hard day’s work, having cleared a backlog of tasks. I feel refreshed, vibrant, excited at the prospect of a new adventure, to live a different life even just for two weeks. I feel confident, in the zone, as if this is really where I belong. I smile [...]

Last Sunday, 14,000 people took to the streets of Hong Kong Island on a charity walk, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, and to raise HK$10 million for the Community Chest. My fiancée suggested this would be a healthy exercise on a Sunday morning, so I gladly went along, [...]

My recent entry to the Travel Photographer of the Year Competition. I have chosen several images from my 2007 trip to Laos, surely an apt definition for the words “laid back” if ever I saw one.

It was entirely by accident that we wandered into the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, a hidden expanse of tranquility, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding main roads that lead into city centre.
Kathy had her summer dress and the lacy wedding umbrella. The sun was directly overhead, kissing Kathy’s skin and hair, [...]

The first time I set foot in Prague was December 2004. Standing in the chill of winter, there was something unassuming yet dangerously mesmerising about the town. As the first experience of Central Europe for my best photo buddy and me, it was a blooming, buzzing confusion. We photographed anything and everything.
Every morning, we braved [...]

Welcome back. I have returned from the Czech Republic and survived what turned out to be one of the most challenging photographic assignments in my life: photographing my own engagement portraits.
Special thanks to Kathy, my lovely cover girl. More to follow!
