Recent advertising photography commission for Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru for their upcoming Welsh language production of Eugene Ionesco’s ‘Rhinoseros’. The brief was to conceptualise, plan, shoot and edit a featured rhino-man to be the key central character which would form the key elements of the advertising campaign. The shoot started life as sketches, moodboards, Pinterest boards that were shared between myself and the client - we worked around several ideas and decided upon 2 or 3 main concepts -all that we’d aim to capture on the day of the shoot. The shoot quickly evolved and with the he ..read more

So, I finally bought a drone. Woop woop. Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t automatically make me a ‘commercial drone pilot’ and I’m keeping it very much for fun at the moment. That said, I’ve officially registered with the Civil Aviation Authority - so at least I’m all legit!. Anyhow, this was my first proper outing with my latest bit of kit and where else better to go and practice shooting other than Penarth Pier. It’s not perfect, there’s lots of things I’ll do again differently but it was a great and remarkable scary feeling getting the footage. Oh, and if you do need a great drone pilot, I ..read more

This was a recent visit to Clarke’s Automotive in Swadlincote to meet the main man, Tom (Head Honcho) at this specialist VW garage which painstakingly restores and maintains some classic old school aircooled Volkswagen vehicles. We’re talking beetles, split screens, the odd Porsche and many more. Whilst there, Tom showed us round and gave us a bit of an impromptu tour - fortunately I had my ..read more
