Last year, Eastman hired me to cover the Goodwood Festival of Speed and create a set of videos, photographs and social media content to accompany the launch of their new product. As you can imagine, the opportunity to work for a renowned company at such an iconic motorsport event was something of a dream assignment. It was also one that I knew would require a very different and dynamic approach!
Read MoreWorking as a photojournalist, you sometimes find yourself covering stories the entire world is talking about and in 2003, the Iraq War was on everybody's minds. On a very hot summers day in August, I was sent on assignment to the Royal Navy Base in Portsmouth to photograph the return of HMS Liverpool.
Read MorePhotographing traditional and often long-forgotten cultural events and festivals is something photographers like me love to document. These local traditions vary from region to region and, often here in the UK, are specific to a county, town or even a village. Steeped in history and often a little quirky, these cultural festivities are usually kept alive by a small group of dedicated people who are determined the customs from the past should not be forgotten.

Read MoreI've enjoyed documenting people's lives and sharing their stories from the moment I picked up a camera. And one subject I've continually revisited is the fishing industry; having always lived by the sea, I guess I have an affinity with their way of life. On this photo assignment, I photograph the fishermen of Spain.
Read MoreUnderstanding my client's needs is essential for a successful commercial photography shoot, and I work hard to achieve this before, during, and after a photography shoot. This image is taken from a set of photographs I created for a global software company that develops products for military, intelligence and national security, healthcare, financial, public and private sectors.
Read MoreThere's always something to photograph, especially in March when back in 2017 I visited Denia to document this traditional fiesta. Fallas marks St Joesphs Day and runs from the 17th to the 19th of March, with the last day culminating in a wild night of music, fireworks and bonfires.
Read MoreI first became interested in photography when I was about 11, although looking back, I think it was already written in the stars. My father was a professional photographer, and mum helped him run his photography business over the years, so I was exposed to the beautiful art of seeing the world through a lens from day one.
Read MoreUK Street Photographer, Scott Ramsey travels to Seville in Spain to photograph the city's famous April Fair. During my many years working as a professional photographer, I've learned to step away from the centre of the action/story for a moment. And this photo demonstrates why I work like this, perfectly.
