Friday Photo: Bride Interrupted
Friday Photo: Bride Interrupted What can you say about a happy accident? It was a happy accident. What you can do of course is recognise what that accident has thrown up, and ask how its random effect speaks to you in a much deeper way than you'd been expecting,...

Friday Photo: Still Life
Friday Photo: Still Life So I thought I'd make this week's Friday Photo a change of pace and mood from last week's knotty discussion about the meaning of art. It's a nice day, the sun's out, let's have a nice sunny picture, right? So that's why I've chosen this...

London Wedding Photographer MC Motors
London Wedding Photographer MC Motors So I should probably tell you up front that this wedding is a year old -- in fact, Gemma and Lewis have already Facebooked their anniversary -- but the only reason that I haven't posted before now was that this wedding got so much...

Friday Photo: Up Close and Personal
Friday Photo: Up Close and Personal Robert Capa said, "If your pictures aren't good enough you aren't close enough." But then Robert Capa also said a lot of dumb macho things that he's not remembered for, and then he got blown up. Still, it's always a good line to...

London Documentary Wedding Photographer
London Wedding Photographer - Fliss and Jon at Shakespeare's Globe Okay, so this is the wedding between the utterly charming and delightful Fliss Walton and the equally charming and winningly louche Jon Edgley Bond. Fliss and I go way back, bonding over the perils of...

Film Wedding Photography
Film Wedding Photography In October last year I shot a roll of film on a Nikon FE I'd just bought on eBay. Just one roll because a) have you seen the price of film/processing these days...? and b) because I was just trying it out and didn't want make a big deal of...

Friday Photo: Storytelling by Omission
Friday Photo: Storytelling by Omission So today's Friday Photo forms a companion piece to a previous blog post which you can read here Creative Storytelling and could very well go on to be part of a series with the working title: Storytelling Without Heads, or maybe...

Friday Photo: Girl in a Box / Film
Okay so I haven't posted this year and I probably should. I mean it's May for FFS. So in keeping with my go-slow web presence I thought I'd post about go-slow photography. Otherwise called, shooting on film. Now I don't subscribe to the idea that with the...

Friday Photo: Less is More
Friday Photo: Less is More So the first Friday Photo of 2016 kicks off (do you see what I did there?) with 'Less is More.' It's a simple effective maxim for any kind of storytelling really. Okay, the keen-eyed among you will have noticed that sometimes my photos...

2015 A Year In Review
2015 A Year In Review You know it's actually quite daunting when you look back at all the weddings you did the year before. All the places you went, all the photos you took. Most wedding photographers are absolutely done in by the end of the year. Banjaxed,...

New Years Eve Wedding Photography
New Years Eve Wedding Photography So it's possible I may have overdone playing the long-game in terms of choosing to hold on to this wedding until today. I could have blogged this wedding any time in the last year. But I thought, no, I'll be obtuse. I'll wait....

18th Birthday Party Photography
18th Birthday Party Photography The beauty of this job is you never know what's around the corner. About four years ago now, from absolutely nowhere, I was suddenly shooting the wedding of Felix Barrett, the creative director and genius behind Punchdrunk Theatre....

Alternative Brighton Wedding Photography
Alternative Brighton Wedding Photographer I thought I'd blog this one quickly while Halloween still hangs in the collective memory like firework sulphur. This was the first Halloween themed wedding I've shot, and while Charlotte and Daniel were careful to be subtle...

Friday Photo: An 18th Birthday Party
So let's just start by saying that even if I could remember my 18th birthday party, this is not how I would remember it. This party was held at No.1 Mayfair, and involved limitless pre-dinner cocktails, canapés, a three course meal, magic acts, limitless...

Destination Wedding Photography
Destination Wedding Photography I'm calling this one destination wedding photography because even though it was only in Ireland I think I got to the wedding I shot in Hong Kong easier than I got to Donegal. Delayed flights, lost luggage, long, long, winding country...

Friday Photo: Ben Johncock
Ben's debut novel The Last Pilot has been variously described as "The one about the space race," "Out now in hardback," and "the book I've been reading with that amazing author photo on the dust-jacket." And as we're talking about that author photo.. I took that. I...

Friday Photo: Be Ready
I've called this blog Be Ready, but that's really only because calling it Just Because Some Random Guy With a Stack of Chairs Walks into Your Frame Doesn't Mean He's in Your Way was a bit too long for SEO purposes. For me wedding photography can often be a bit too...

Classic English Wedding Photography
Classic English Wedding Photography So today, up on the blog, we have, as the title so neatly suggests, A Classic English Wedding. A beautiful old church in Dean, and a marquee wedding reception at the family home five minutes walk away up a gently wending country...
