"I shoot people. A bit gruesome, I know, but I do.
I shoot the minute intimate moments that spark between people - those fleeting moments that connect us all and make us feel alive.
I shoot within an orchestrated set up, utterly prepared - from cast, to script, to lighting, but all executed and directed to make it look totally effortless, brimming with emotion and authentically real.
I do this on demand. Guaranteed every time.
Even, after all these years, I still love it. Maybe my love for it stems from my time in the circus, or maybe from my brief stint as a cosmonaut. Or maybe just from my pure intrigue with people and what makes them tick."

London: Kate Abbey Photography
"I once met a Dad who watched his young daughter play football every Saturday come rain or shine. He was a busy man who had a million and one more things to do, but loyally he stood and watched his daughter dashing around after the ball. As the weekends went by, she eventually scored a goal and as she spun round searching for her Dad, their eyes met, and that split second of pure and utter joy sparked between them.
On a shoot, unfortunately I don’t have the privilege of waiting for ‘life' to happen - I have to create it. I have to capture those fleeting moments on demand - every single time - with compassion, zest and warmth, all aided by my incredibly talented crew, who make me laugh.
I’m London-based, with 20 years' experience, represented by Morgan Lockyer and work with the likes of Google, Nokia, Puma and Skype."
