"'Come into the cold' was shot in February for the New Zealand clothing brand Kathmandu winter campaign. It was art directed by Glenn Gibbons, who I previously worked with on the Intercontinental hotel brand. We started in Tokyo capturing the frantic city and then travelled to the prefecture of Yamagata, famous for its for mountains, hot springs and temples. On Mount Zao, the snow covered conifers or “snow monsters”.

This was an amazing trip, and I was lucky to get it finished before the world locked down. 

Big thanks to production from @beyond.tokyo @intrepidtravel, Kathmandu producer Rachel Kelly and the rest of the crew that made it happen."

"A small selection gallery of my most recent work from pre-Covid19 lockdown. With the slow unravelling of the lockdown restrictions I hope that the industry is now starting to look at image makers to refresh and help with the rebuilding of brands and magazines with a new outlook to this now changed planet.

Brands and magazines that I have worked with this year so far include GH Bass, Arcadia Group, shooting menswear campaigns for Burtons and womenswear with Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge, an ongoing assignment with Peugeot and Grazia shooting cars and travel, a new collab collection for Whistles and L.F. Markey, editorial shoots for Overdue Magazine and a cover and a 10-page story for Man of Metropolis."

"Since 2012, shooting for advertising has been key to my professional practice. Understanding every aspect of lighting and composition within a studio environment allows me to create the most compelling still life images to a highly commercial specification.

The years I have spent experimenting and creating commissioned projects within these genres has allowed me to grasp leading industry techniques, and innovate with unique compositions to fulfil any brief to its maximum potential. 

My most recent work has been for a variety of jewellery clients, where I have enjoyed taking a creative approach to re-establishing their imagery and branding in full."
