Working 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 MoreAlong with my work as a photographer, I also love to create storytelling videos to promote my client's services or products, but this recent video project was slightly different. Littlehampton Town Council hired me to create this tourism video to highlight the fantastic attractions the town offers and to promote it as a perfect destination for a family staycation.

Read MoreIt's not every day you get the opportunity to photograph a reconnaissance mission with the British Army, but that's precisely what I found myself doing during this commercial photography shoot.

Having photographed Mel C, Bon Jovi, Elton John, Stereophonics and the Manic Street Preachers, all in concert. I've definitely noticed similarities.
Read MoreA great set of staff headshots can make all the difference to how a corporate company appears to their clients; after all, first impressions last. And unlike some corporate photographers, who rush a photoshoot and speed through the staff, almost as if they were on a conveyor belt, I take a more professional approach.
Read MoreRecently I was hired for a Commercial Photography shoot in Kent. Safe Home Security, a Kent business that specialises in home security, needed some new photographs to promote the business and showcase its services. So with the help of my assistant, Mihai, I spent the day creating a set of photographs perfect for my client's needs, and here's a selection of some of my favourite images from the photoshoot.
Read MoreWorking as a documentary photographer, I create photographs that tell a story. Sometimes I create a collection of photographs that form a photo essay; another time, it's one stand-alone photo that often captures a split second in time others don't see.
Read MoreThe weather tends to be a hot topic of conversation here in the UK. To feed this insatiable desire with weather-related news, I've often been tasked by a picture editor to head out (sometimes literal into the storm) and get some weather photos.
