About me and the understanding I bring beyond my technical
I have always been a photographer and no doubt always will be. I graduated with an Honours degree in photography from Farnham (then WSCAD) in 1994. For the next 13 years I worked for London Based Photographic agency Camera Press as staff then Chief photographer (7 years) before deciding to go freelance in 2008.
I have a very wide variety of experience from documentary to studio but I have always been drawn to architecture and architectural photography. 20 years ago I began working with the Bartlett School of Architecture ,I was asked to help students with their architectural model photography & the school with it’s marketing and publication photography a relationship that continues to this day.
My technical knowhow combined with my fine art sensibility & appreciation of architectural concepts informed my approach enabling me to produce images that best reflected what they really wished to demonstrate photographically with the School and it’s approach to architectural practice providing photography for portfolios, books, exhibitions and documenting shows and events for the Bartlett comms team.
Inevitably my involvement with students , lecturers & architects at the Bartlett has fuelled and informed by interest in architecture & led to more requests to produce architectural photography as well as architectural model photography both for individuals and practices. This has happily enabled to me specialise more in architectural photography, something I really enjoy. Having seen the process of architects training and going into practise has given me a unique perspective on the dedication, creativity, skill , enthusiasm, talent & phenomenal hard work put in by individuals to become architects. I think they are all amazing, I'm always excited to see what they are working on & create photographs that not only match up to the quality of their work but help highlight how beautiful, innovative and amazing these spaces are that they create.
My approach is that of a photographer that understands architects, architecture, space, people, light, texture and place but also photographic visualisation with a documentary sensibility. Producing a collection of images that you really appreciate and help other appreciate architects and designers work. I work all across the UK with a base in London and Shropshire I work in the midlands and nothwest covering Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and internationally.
So please feel free get in touch if you would like discuss projects that you feel I may be able to help you get the very best from.

Planning an architectural photography shoot involves much more than simply showing up with a camera. It requires careful coordination with the client, attention to the location’s unique aspects, and strategic scheduling to capture the best lighting.
