Recent work for British Vintage Boxing for their ‘Everyday Champions’ campaign - featuring Charlie Dudfield and Jacey Elthalion.

Our venue was Jack Solomon’s gym in Soho - steeped in history it was amazing to shoot there. The gym now has no window light (it’s downstairs) so we had make good use of the artificial light, tungsten, led etc shooting fast, catching the emotion, slowing the shutter speed to accentuate movement.

When I shoot some ad campaigns I use lights and that’s great but sometimes the freedom of staying light and fast is liberating and often gives a more filmic result. Talking of film, my mind wandered to the photo journalists of the 50’s and 60’s who would have shot on film at the club, with a limited number of exposures, having to get the exposure spot on, changing film in the dark - respect!

A rare glimpse of the wild ponies on Exmoor whilst on a recent scouting trip. Looking forward to getting back down there in Feb to shoot some amazing outdoor brands. We are going places that are literally ‘off grid’ . Thermals are packed!

Latest from my 'Makers' series...the Boat Builder. Meet Pete, Cornishman through and through, born in the Lizard, does everything by hand. Married to a french lady who apparently despite her roots 'ain't that good in the kitchen'.
Pete's dad (85) is supposedly retired but there isn't a day goes by when he doesn't visit the yard...even if its to bring Pete Fish n Chips.

It was amazing to collaborate recently with Nick Pearce and Glen Power on cinematic fashion editorial called 'Shot to Nothing' - a story of 2 street hustlers and Snooker Hall gambling (clothes by Topman). Shot completely on the mean streets of Cheltenham using natural light... Here's a few images to give you a flavour of the day.
