Happy National Pet Day! 🐶📸
Did you know I occasionally turn my lens from CEOs and campaigns to canines and companions?

Over the years, I’ve been asked to shoot a few one-off pet portraits and I’ve absolutely loved capturing the charm, cheek, and soul of some wonderful dogs. 🐾 From expressive eyes to quirky poses, I aim to catch what makes them them.

Swipe to see a few favourites I’m really proud of.
Because let’s be honest our pets aren’t just animals they’re family. 💛

Capturing Personality in Pressured Moments – A Tribute to David Bellamy & The Power of a One-Off PR Shoot

In the world of PR and editorial photography, time is rarely a luxury. Often, you’re given just minutes to capture something real—something that tells a story, communicates personality, and resonates. That’s the challenge I thrive on.

One shoot that’s always stuck with me was with the late David Bellamy, the renowned botanist, broadcaster, and environmental campaigner. I only had a very brief window to create a portrait of him, but in that short time, he was every bit as passionate, engaging, and full of warmth as you’d expect.

Despite the time pressures, he made space for the moment. I knew I had to work quickly, intuitively, and respectfully to capture something meaningful. The result was a portrait I’ve always felt proud of—something a little fitting for his legacy, subtly nodding to his iconic “through the undergrowth” catchphrase, while also, I hope, catching a bit of his wonderful personality.

I share this not just as a tribute to David, but to say: this is what I do. Whether you need a one-off PR image, a fast-turnaround editorial portrait, or on-brand photography that speaks to your audience—I deliver under pressure, without compromising on quality or authenticity.

With over 15 years of experience in press, PR, and commercial photography, I understand the pace, the importance of reading the moment, and the need to get the shot right, first time.

Shooting editorial storytelling imagery enhances a brand or event by creating a deeper, more authentic connection with the audience. Unlike traditional advertising, which often feels staged or sales-driven, editorial-style imagery tells a compelling story, evoking emotion and engagement. Here’s why I love shooting this style of photography.

1. Authenticity & Connection – Editorial imagery captures real moments, making the brand feel more human and relatable.
2. Visual Storytelling – Every image has a narrative, whether it’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse, a lifestyle moment.
3. Emotion & Engagement – Story-driven images spark emotion, drawing viewers in and making them feel something—whether it’s nostalgia, excitement, or aspiration.
4. Timeless & Versatile – Editorial imagery isn’t just for one campaign; it can be repurposed across platforms—social media, websites, magazines.
5. Aspirational Yet Realistic – Unlike overly polished commercial images, editorial photography strikes a balance between aspiration and reality, making brands feel premium yet accessible.
6. Differentiation – In a saturated market, storytelling imagery helps a brand stand out, making it memorable and unique rather than just another ad in the noise.
