"I love photographing people - whether as portraits, or at work or play. They all have interesting stories to tell, and part of my job as a photographer is to tell their story.

Another part of my job is to be able to do that on demand and under pressure, right there and then. That’s what makes being a photographer both a privilege and a challenge, requiring skills which can only be acquired through experience. I hope you like my work."

"We are continually tasked will creatively challenging briefs, no two are ever the same. Our recent work for Lucky Generals for the 2014 Brazil World Cup is a perfect case in point; to carve a message of support out of the rainforest to the England football team. This PR stunt was in fact to highlight awareness of deforestation. Creating such an iconic landscape relied heavily on research into the area, tree types, sunlight/time of day and perspective from our aerial shot, to create our authentic terrain, entirely in CG."

Other recent campaigns include Louis Vuitton Women’s Shoe Collection for Fall 2014.
