Starting 2011 with a bang. Kicking ass and taking names, I headed to Amsterdam with the as ever friendly, funny, all round nice guy and super talented photographer Glen Burrows as well as an excellent art directer turned accent impressionist Chris. Check out Glens blog at http://glenburrows.posterous.com/ and thanks to him for useage of some his images in the gallery below. The job was to...
2010 - Recap
I’ve always found it useful to take a moment and reflect on the successes of the past year as we pass into a new one. Happy News Years to you all. I hope 2011 is good to you. For me 2010 was a great year and a massive improvement on 2009 in the quantity and quality of work I was involved with as well as a much welcomed financial boost as I ventured into advertising work. I’m starting...

UFC 120 - o2 Arena, London - Oct 2010
No shoot news here. Just a blindingly obvious and top assistants tip. On Saturday evening I went to watch UFC 120 when the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) made it’s annual trip to the UK. A great night of fights from what has been coined as the fastest growing sports organisation in the world. I’m a Muay Thai Kickboxer, Karate Blackbelt and all round MMA enthusiast myself and...
Neale Haynes - Pilates & Classic Cars - Oct 2010
I’ve been wanting to work with top portrait photographer Neale Haynes again for a while now after having a great shoot with him last year and on Friday morning I got the call. A wake up call that is! But also a call for an afternoon shoot that same day. Shooting a Pilates story for easyliving magazine we had Profoto 7b packs, several heads, strip box, beauty dish and various other...
Alex Howe - Car Shoot
Having driven and travelled over 1000 miles across England for work this week, I headed to Junction 11 Studios in Banbury on Saturday for a shoot with the sublime photographer Alex Howe. Technically adept and creative to no end, every shoot with Alex is a pleasure. I arrived at the studio an effieciently quick 1 hour and 10 minutes after I set off at 6:30am. Pleasantly early for our 8am call...
Mens Running shoot - Mam Tor
Had an awesome shoot on Thursday with the incredibly talented photographer Glen Burrows Behind the scenes courtesy of him - check out his blog here. Shot in the Peak District, Derbyshire on and around Mam Tor. We had a 6am start and we’d travelled 400 miles for this shoot off the back of a lively shoot with ‘Crazy’ Spice Girl Mel B the day before. Using profoto kit we had...

Had a wicked shoot with Pete Dadds photographer for Channel 4 earlier this week. One of the things I have always prided myself on is my organisation and reliability. I have always built ‘safety’ time into my journey to allow for train delays, strikes, cancellations, getting lost, etc. This can be irritating when you turn up to shoots 30 minutes early on a regular basis and you could...

2009 Summary
I realise doing this may well come across as self-righteous. It is. But for those of you who do take an interest in just what I’m doing with my life instead of going to university - I’ve listed all the things I can remember from 2009 below. For those of you that don’t care obviously don’t read on, I hope 2010 brings good things and many successes no matter how little or large, to everyone.
