Having previously worked on large format film cameras I now offer a fully digital service using specialist lenses and lighting. I work for graphic design studios, advertising agencies and directly for large and small companies. I have worked for some of the world’s largest companies, also for the smallest of one person start-ups, for me size is not an issue, I become part of your creative team and for many small companies I am the creative team. I have extensive experience working in all types of environments from the boardroom to the factory floor and out in the field. I also have considerable expertise travelling locally, nationally, and internationally to shoot all kinds of subjects. I have worked all over the U.K. and Ireland and most west European countries also the USA, Russia, Australia, South Africa, and Turkey. Regardless of what, or where you manufacture, sell, or operate, I can get there and get the job done. If you are a company with a number of different businesses in your portfolio I am the perfect photographer to choose for annual reports and corporate brochures as I have extensive experience working in all types of environments, from the boardroom to the factory floor and out in the field. No matter where you manufacture or sell I can photograph your job and keep a consistent standard of creativity and image quality throughout the entire shoot. Advertising photography is about selling product, my first and only aim as an advertising photographer is to sell your product. I become an integral part of your sales and marketing effort, so if you have a product or service and you want to sell more, I can help. Your success is also my success.
