The World Around the Corner
When the phone rings and another shoot is added to my diary my suitcase begins to pack itself. It’s got used to being assaulted as socks and gadgets are thrown at it before being zipped shut and dragged to some foreign land. Travelling has got to be one of the best perks of the job, […]

Giving Cars Some Stick Since the Nineties
Since the nineties I’ve had one piece of kit that has helped me capture exactly what I need for clients such as Bentley, Peugeot and Subaru. To the passer by this kit looks like an extendable thick stick, something fire-fighters might use to rescue a cat from a tree, but to me, it’s a trusty […]

For today’s blog I thought I’d impart some interesting facts about Monaco: – The principality is less than one mile square. – Roman Abramovich’s new yacht Streets of Monaco will cost upwards of $1 billion and is a sort of floating Monaco – boasting miniature versions of the famed Monte Carlo Casino, Hotel de Paris, […]

John Lennon once wrote: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”. These prophetic lines came to haunt me a couple of years ago, just as I was planning a shoot for the Nissan Townpod prototype in Germany. And I blame it all on my wife’s turnips. It was a few […]
