This is a selection of images that best represents the kind of work I have focussed on over the past years. This is my paid work, mostly for council magazines, animal charities, a hospital and Transport for London.
These are my bread and butter images; varied, uncomplicated and to the point. Telling a story, always with a hint of humour.

What I most love about my job is meeting different people every day, from refugees to mayors, from people with learning difficulties to foster parents for disabled children, from vets to local business men. I meet them all and try to capture something about their passion. Whatever that may be.

The style :
It is my conviction that animals are best photographed in their natural home or garden environment… on their own bed, in their special corner or secretly enjoying their (and your) favourite couch. They might even naughtily sniff out some food in the kitchen… Without you watching !!
In an nutshell, I enjoy letting things happen, without forcing your dog or cat to sit still in a certain position or trying to make them ‘look cute’. I patiently attempt to capture the true personality of the animal, in a way you can totally identify and recognize them and their surroundings.

How do you achieve this ?

I come to your house and take between 100 to 200 pictures to guarantee we get some funny and sweet shots. My calm and relaxed approach ensures the animal to feel the same. I love making a fuss of the animal before I start and slowly begin taking pictures when the time is right and we all feel more settled.

How far do you travel ?

I work all over London and about 30 miles north from Harrow.

How long does a session take ?

It generally takes between one and two hours. If we go for a walk in the park it could take a bit longer. All for the same fee. I love walking too !!
