Photographer Overview

Sports and luxury lifestyle photography.

I've been photographing in the sports/luxury lifestyle space for many years. Although based in the UK, I'm working for clients worldwide, photographing people's lifestyles, sports, and goods. I have come from a background of working for a global media brand, then co-owning and running a brand design agency in London called Deep. This has all helped hone my visual sense and creative style.

Since the COVID pandemic, I've specialised in photographing thoroughbred horses, having spent much time learning what to look for and capture in a racehorse. And built a great client roster in this industry. I've been involved in filming an Amazon series called 'Horepower' through to monthly shoots for clients such as Coral Racing creating imagery for B to C advertising, marketing and social media. I spend a lot of time working on the industry-leading stud farms and daily training behind the scenes of over 180 yards around the UK and Ireland.

I love a bit of technology and have always kept myself at the forefront, trying and breaking new ground when the opportunity has arisen, using the tools needed to get a job done, which includes becoming a qualified drone pilot, so I can take and capture aerial footage and still's, perfect for today's social media and content needs. I also have a skipper's sailing and racing yacht license, which assists me with some projects.

My experience has led me to many corners of our amazing world, such as shooting a windsurfer crossing the sea from Hong Kong to Macau and Polo in Thailand. Through to California for fashion and automotive photography. Not forgetting my home country of the United Kingdom, where I love photographing for clients such as Panerai watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Ideaworks, Goodwood, the RNLI, Wall Street Journal, Hotel & Resort brands and many more.

For some bigger production projects, I bring together a team of professionals - videographers, stylists, production companies, assistants, etc. And can adapt easily to the size of the project and the timescales required. I am very passionate about creating high-quality content.

If you've read thus far, and like my photographs, have a project you need shooting or filming, please get in touch using the details below.

I look forward to hearing from you.
