I recently completed a photo-session for successful Surrey-based contemporary artist Philly Knowland. I was commissioned to take portrait images of Philly and was also involved in the design and art-direction of her new site. Philly has exhibited at many galleries and exhibitions over the years and her latest collection is available to view on the website. She is also open to private commissions. Check it out!

Henley Royale shoot published in HUF magazine
The Henley Royale shoot was published in HUF magazine. All the hard work paid off and the final images look great! Thanks to Hotel Du Vin, Bremont Watches, Hofmanns, Bunkers, Laurence Menswear, Justyna P, Rosa W and model Callum Murray.
Bremont Watches, Jaguar and Hotel Du Vin
An editorial shoot with a huge amount of pre-production. The concept was 'Henley Royale' - a dapper young man spending the weekend on business in the one of England's most famous riverside towns. Justyna Poniewacz was responsible for styling and did an amazing job sourcing the clothes from local menswear outfitters, Laurence. Bremont watches (also based in Henley) were kind enough to loan us two of their classic timepieces and Hofmanns supplied the ridiculously cool Jaguar C Type. Model Callum Murray did himself justice and Hotel Du Vin was the perfect backdrop for the day. All credit to the team, especially grooming from Rosa W.
Aspiring model Matilda
A wonderful afternoon's shoot with aspiring model Matilda Clerehugh. Matilda is just 14 but she has the attitude and desire that makes me believe she'll go on to do very well. With so many images to choose from, the best were sent to a few of the top model Agencies in London with an extremely positive response. Watch this space...
Album and portrait shoot in Dungeness Kent
An incredible landscape on the coast in Kent was the perfect backdrop for blues musician Homesick Mick's debut album. A long day's shooting, with changing weather conditions and some wonderful skies gave us the opportunity to create some truly epic imagery. With so many shots to choose from both record company and artist were very satisfied.
Henley Fashion Week 2016
As part of Henley Fashion week I am exhibiting some of my work in the old fire station gallery. This is a great opportunity to see some local designers, especially Arzu Kara who has recently launched her spring/summer collection 2016. If you're in the area, come and visit.
Location hunting for DEBORAH BRAND corsetiere
My good friend Simon Kenny at Souvenir Studios has an old apple warehouse in Dartford Kent. This huge agricultural storage space was just what I was looking for - an industrial and cold backdrop to highlight the contrast of the concept. The steel beams, wood and concrete creates an unsympathetic contrast and juxtaposition to highlight the fine lace and lingerie of Deborah's beautiful creations. The space was a huge challenge to pull off from a lighting perspective, but with such an excellent team on the day, with every one working so hard to capture the vision, the end results are beautiful (at least I think so!).
A beauty test shoot
With lovely model Riona F and Rosa W on hair and make-up. A simple lighting set up but very effective. The end result shows how such dynamic a shot can be created to highlight Riona's flawless complexion. Also managed to capture a lovely head shot, all in a couple of hours.
Shooting fashion for ARZU KARA
A fantastic day Autumn day in a beautiful Georgian farmhouse in Oxfordshire, which was the backdrop for the conceptual shoot for Arzu Kara's A/W 2015 collection. Model Lauren McGee was an absolute professional at all times. Great work on the day by the support team with wonderful hair and make - up. Client and myself very happy with the end results!
