I specialize in photographing people, especially authors and corporate . I also love photographing architecture, interiors and products.
I usually photograph people in their environment. My aim is to make the process as quick and as relaxed as possible, to let my subject(s) feel at ease by creating a friendly and condusive atmosphere. I obviously pay special attention to relevant composition and lighting. The end result - photographs that place a person in context and capture their personality.
All my equipment is top of the range; 35mm digital, medium format (digital or film) and large format. I have my own set of strobe and tungsten lights and accessories, up to 5,000 Watts, if needed, so no hidden equipment hire expenses.
I was born in London and studied photography at the London College of Communication (University of the Arts, London), achieving a Distinction in Professional Photography Practice. I was also educated at the London Metropolitan University (marketing) and Vassar College, USA. I have spent 17 years abroad in France, the Czech Republic and Italy (competent in all languages, and a bit of English!).
My rates are standard Association of Photographers (negotiable).
I am on time, professional and good to work with.
So if you like what you've seen here, have any projects in mind (no matter how "out there" or sensible) and need a photographer, don't hesitate to contact me :
