At the end of the day, we are all human. I love working with people who see the joy in the stories we are telling. Whilst I am serious about my work and what I create, I believe the humans involved are more important than the work itself, so am always as flexible as I can be within the agreed working boundaries.

For me, clear communication is the most important aspect of most interactions in life. My work is no exception. I always aim to create a clear line of communication to manage expectations and create a strong working relationship with everyone I work with.

As I said, being a photographer is much more than simply turning up with a camera. Each job is personal and good planning and preparation from my side will help you to bring out the best of your story in the photographs I create for you. We work together.

In most cases I work to a brief set out by you and we both sign a contract for the work. This helps me to create more for your budget and gives us the best starting point for creating the images you want. The contract will cover usage and licensing, but don't worry if you're not sure, just ask.

I work with professional equipment, my Canon 5D is my closest companion on any job and I am so thankful to be able to work with a great bit of kit. The images you will receive will be the highest quality for either web or print use. My work is where I let my inner perfectionist out of his (he's a he for some reason) for a while, long enough to make sure I and you will be completely satisfied with the photos I deliver.

Although I do work with my studio light for consistent product work, I prefer, and love to work with the challenge of natural light. The depth and character that sunlight (or lack of it, here in the UK) brings photographs to life for me. Many people I work with long for photographs that tell stories in this way.
