Here’s 20 images from TT2025.

It’s almost impossible to sum up the is just a few frames, but I hope these give a flavour of the experience. It really is like no other event!

Blimey, where did June go?? Been a whole month since I was shooting at the Isle of Man TT Races so here's 25 images from TT2025. And yes, that is Noel Edmonds!

It's almost impossible to sum up the event in a few frames, but I hope this gives a flavour of the experience. It's so much more than a bike race and I love it. Bring on TT2026!

Had my briefing call this morning with the team at Isle of Man TT Races. Excited and delighted as ever to be asked to capture the action, personalities and energy of this truly unique event. TT-minus 23 days and counting until I head over. Bring it on!

Drones! What great bits of kit. Here's a short film I've made of a recent walking trip to the Lake District. It's a 90-second watch and it's EPIC. Enjoy!

A short film created using the dji mini pro 4 drone on a recent walking trip to the Lake District, Cumbria.

Epic weekend in Lake District: Big walks, big skies, big laughs and plentiful pints. Happy days!

Hello friends. I'm celebrating another year of good health by running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 6th April.

As someone who has been on the receiving end of the incredible support Macmillan Cancer Support give to those dealing with cancer, I can't think of a better and more personal cause to run for.

Not aiming for any PB's this year (must be getting older!) but planning to get round in less than 1hr 40. Let's see how that goes!

Thank you! 🙏 x

I've just been reminded by the excellent human who is Dr Julia Jones that it's exactly 20 years (!) since she launched The Britbus Tour and invited me along for the ride - as photographer, designer and musician. Hey, three for the price of one - don't let anyone tell you I'm not good value...

An epic 2000 mile road trip - at 48mph top speed - from sea to shining sea, promoting British music in the USA. Many adventures, breakdowns (both bus and crew), friends made for life and generous alcohol sponsorship.

Photography. Travel. Music. All at once. Good times indeed!

I'd just started out as a pro photographer and it's safe to say I learned A LOT on that trip - mainly perseverance, adaptability, keeping calm amongst chaos whilst also being absolutely in awe of what Julia seemed to be creating out of thin air on a daily basis on the teensiest of budgets. Hats off to her and three cheers for the good ship Britbus!

Okay 2025: let’s be having you.

Had a bit of a pre-Spring Spring clean of the studio this week and thought this shot would be fun to set up.

I shoot all kinds of different work for lots of different Clients in the Advertising, Commercial, Corporate, Education, Sport and Events worlds, but people often seem unaware of just what else I get up to, apart from their particular ’thing’.

A picture being worth a thousand words and all that (and I still find writing about myself REALLY hard), I thought this would be a neat way of showing all the kit that I use to create with - or as much as would fit in the shot! - and just what I’m capable of.

DSLRs, gimbals, go pros, drone, flash lighting, continuous lighting, multiple mics, sound recorder, softboxes, reflectors, tripods, monopods, modifiers, stands, clips, clamps, a bagful of lenses and 20+ years’ experience are a really useful toolkit to have.

Oh, and you’d like a jam on guitars then I’m set for that too (the black Les Paul is my favourite).

So here’s to a new season, new contacts, new work and new adventures.

Let’s have a chat about any upcoming projects you may have in stills or moving image. I’ve got the kit, I’ve got the skills...
..and I make a mean cup of tea.

It’s not every day you get asked to photograph The Queen, but that’s what happened last Wednesday night.

It was a family affair at the University of London Senate House as The Chancellor (Princess Anne) awarded an Honorary Degree - Doctor of Literature honoris causa - to her sister-in-law, Her Majesty The Queen.

Every year UoL celebrate their Foundation Day with the awarding of Honorary Degrees to leading figures across science, the arts, literature, humanities, charity and more. The Queen was one of this year’s recipients.

Here’s a few Palace-approved pics I’m able to share. I love the one of them laughing together - a really nice candid moment amongst all the formalities!
