🎥 New project live!

This short highlights film was part of a full day of hybrid event coverage I provided at Hazlewood Castle for a recent summer staff event. As well as delivering a suite of stills, I filmed throughout the day to capture key moments in motion - giving the client a wide range of content to share.

You can view the full project with example photography, the final film, and insight into how I handled both formats at once here:

If you’re planning an event and would benefit from professional photography and video captured in one seamless shoot, feel free to get in touch - I’d love to help.

📷 In Shadow & Light #71 we learn what it’s like to document the war in the Ukraine and discover the vibrant street photography of Leleo Lopes. We take a look at a portrait of a fading Californian college town and we find beauty in the vistas of waffle houses.

Hope you like it!

Storytelling is at the heart of all great photography - and it’s something I bring to every shoot, whether I’m working with families or brands.

In my latest blog post, I explore how these cinematic principles, often used in film and video, can be applied to stills work. I share examples from a recent commercial shoot for Evri and also reflect on how the same approach adds depth and narrative to family sessions.

📸 🎥 Hybrid Event Photography & Videography at UKREiiF 2025

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work with Winvic Construction and Jennie Holland PR at UKREiiF – one of the UK’s leading events for the real estate and infrastructure sector – capturing both photography and video across their outdoor pavilion in Leeds.

As a solo shooter covering both formats, this project involved:
✅ Capturing photography and video throughout the 3-day event
✅ Delivering edited images from each panel session within hours for real-time social coverage
✅ Producing a branded highlights video for ongoing marketing use

It was a fast-paced and rewarding shoot, and a great example of how hybrid event coverage can deliver serious value for brands.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Client Testimonial

I pride myself on creating a relaxed and comfortable environment so families can just enjoy themselves. It's the secret to beautiful, natural family photography.

🎥 New Video: How I Shoot Photos and Video Solo at Live Events

Ever wondered how to juggle photography and video at the same time — solo — at big, fast-paced events?

In my latest behind-the-scenes video, I take you through exactly how I do it. Filmed during a recent shoot with Jennie Holland PR and Winvic at UKREiiF 2025, I break down my full setup and share practical tips on:

📷 My dual-camera setup (photo + video)
⚡️ Switching between formats quickly
🎯 Staying efficient without missing key moments

If you’re into event photography or hybrid shooting, you might find this interesting.

Throwback to last week at UKREiiF working with the very lovely Rebecca and Jennie from Jennie Holland PR. It was a really full-on few days capturing both photography and videography but with a great team in place everything ran like clockwork. Thanks for having me!

📷 In Shadow & Light #70 we explore at how one photographer explores the lingering effects of war and look at life inside one of El Salvador’s notorious prisons. We see a project exploring girls on the cusp of adulthood and see Tina Turner as you’ve never seen her before.

Hope you like it!
