PHOTOGRAPHY

Stunning visuals that capture of the heart of what you do.

I specialize in creating images that connect with real people - whether that's documenting the electric atmosphere of a club night, showcasing the personality behind your brand, or capturing the community spirit of your festival. Every shoot is about understanding your vision and delivering images that work as hard as you do.

What I Shoot

Day Events & Festivals

Sports events, day fairs, art festivals, multi-day festivals, food events, Christmas markets, firework displays, BBQs, private parties, staff celebrations, birthday parties, dance shows, exhibitions - any event you want to capture, remember, and promote.

Your event happens once, but great photos make it live forever. I'm there for the moments you're too busy organizing to catch - the genuine laughter, the crowd going wild, the behind-the-scenes chaos that somehow comes together perfectly.

Business Photography

Teams, facilities, behind-the-scenes culture, product photography, and showcasing everything that makes your business unique.

Stock photos don't tell your story. Your team, your space, your process - that's what makes customers choose you. I capture the real stuff that happens when you think nobody's watching (but in a good way).

Personal branding

Perfect for coaches, mentors, freelancers, teachers, consultants, and creative entrepreneurs ready to show their authentic personality and connect with their ideal clients.

Forget stiff corporate headshots. You're building a business around your personality, so let's show it. Whether you're camera-shy or a natural, we'll create images that make people think "I want to work with this person."

Music & nightlife photography

Club nights, concerts, multi-day festivals, and live music experiences that demand to be documented with the same energy they create.

Dark venues and strobing lights don't phase me. I live for capturing that split second when the bass drops and the crowd loses it, or when an artist hits that perfect note. These are the shots that sell tickets and build legends.

What’s Included?

Pre-Shoot Consultation

We'll discuss your vision, goals, and how the images will be used. Understanding your story is crucial to capturing it authentically. We can also compile and greenlight a shot list and brief so we all understand the scope.

A Positive Experience

From start to finish, I always strive to provide the best, positive, most engaging experience that aligns with your goals. If you need me front and center, talking to people, making them feel comfortable, I can. If you want me to step back and capture from the sidelines, I can. It’s based around what you want and need.

Flexible Usage Rights

I own the images, but you get full rights. It’s like buying a pair of socks. You can use images on your socials, website, promotional materials, to hang in your office or studio, your phone wallpaper. It’s up to you. I’ll use images on my own socials and website as portfolio pieces and proof of work. However, these are flexible.

Professional Equipment

I use a Nikon D7500 with a variety of lenses, including a Sigma 17-50mm, Nikon f1.8 35mm, Nikon f2.8 70-20mm (which is an absolute workhorse), a Sigma Contemporary 150mm - 600mm, and a Sigma 105mm Macro. I also have studio lights, tripods, and flashes.

High-Resolution Edited Images

The final gallery is completely hand-selected and professionally edited to bring the most out of the image. The aim revolves around your goals, usually along the lines of enhancing the natural energy, looking attractive and inviting, and maintaining realism.

Quick Turnaround

Because I understand the fast pace of event marketing, I aim to deliver up to 10 initial shots within 48 hours for you to share, then the rest within 10 days. Business shots and fully galleries can take up to two weeks. I strive to ensure it’s as soon as possible and never longer.

Pricing

Pricing starts at £180 for a half-day (four hours), £300 for a full day, and includes all travel, editing, shooting, a pre-shoot call, and an edited gallery. Custom packages available upon request.

Let’s get the ball rolling.
