Haybury is an Executive Search Consultancy. They focus solely within Life Sciences, locally […]
Kenny Knight is a stuntman, actor and choreographer, we spent a cold December day photographing him and his bike on Brighton seafront. This was my last shoot of 2021 and it was a pretty cool way to end the year. The bike photo had some heavy editing to remove people, cars and traffic lights. The actors headshot was simple natural light, not even a reflecter was needed as I wanted to promote his edge. Camera: Canon R5 Bike: Godox AD600Pro […]

Before winter set in, I photographed Taylor Lally, a musician and singer from Northern Ireland, who is studying in Brighton. We spent a cold, but sunny afternoon in the woods at Friston Forrest, creating imagery for her upcoming gigs. Taylors ethereal beauty was at home in the natural surroundings, which matched her unprocessed music and visual style. I shot most of this on an 85mm f1.8 sometimes wide open, using the softness as an advantage. Moving around the forest we […]

The shoot was Lisa going about her daily role in a pharmaceutical warehouse, with mixed to murky lighting and in their laboratory which was bright, but had limited space.

In the midst of a hot and hazy Brighton summer, Slurring Words Theatre Company have performed Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in the gardens at Stanmer House. This magical play was a joy to photograph the production stills for. The material and characters are accessible and sumptuous. The actors a pleasure to work with when documenting one evening before a dress rehearsal. Photographing around sunset delivers a soft, direct light which is magical, as long as you move quickly, the window […]

His subject matters are depression, failure and suicide, ideal subject matter for comedy. Ideal subject for portrait photography. Charlie has a one man stand up show inhabited by many characters, we photographed each of them. No costume changes, just a few props. There is the Chef Preston Blumenthal, the priest is Pastor Ted Bear and the […]
