Photography has always been a huge passion of mine. I’ve loved taking photos since I can remember. From owning my first Kodak Star 110 camera to completing a degree in design photography, specialising in photo-illustration.
Since those days at University, my passion continues both as a hobby and using photography in my job predominately through studio based work.
My photography projects are vast, and range from still life for skin care and alcohol brands, product shoots for bike accessories, clothing shoots for Honda, staff portraits and building, lighting and shooting sets for production of my photo-illustrations. I work from my purpose built studio which is set up mainly for product photography, but can be easily converted for more complex setups.
I was hired to come along to the school and photograph throughout the school for the new prospectus which was being created. We spent the day here, moving through the different departments and trying to capture the lovely atmosphere of the school. All photography was produced with natural lighting, and very minimal post editing was done.

Bottom middle & right - Cloudhopper shoot. Alongside a video shoot, we spent the day photographing at a pub which promoted a new beer, Cloudhopper. The idea was to show how this beer accompanied a range of pub meals and these photos would go out on their social feed.

Producing flat lay imagery for Bill Skinners Studio, usually for Seasons or events like Easter, or King Charles’ Coronation. I would set up backgrounds and materials to then photograph. These would require a small amount of retouching within allowance of budget.
Photographing on simple white backgrounds. Retouching out tiny imperfections where possible and using set guidelines for each type of Jewellery so they appear consistently on their website. The clients budget wouldn’t allow for the full editing on all imperfections and so the lighting and photographic set up would have to be as accurate as possible.

Every product needs a packshot for the website to allow it to go on sale. Sometimes these will need to be promoted before the actual product is made and therefore prototypes needing post editing would be used.
A more creative approach to display the product alongside its key ingredients.
