Prints. Workshops. Books.

Have you met the ‘Little People’ yet? These tiny figurines have travelled the globe more extensively than I have as they continue to make it into publications and onto walls all over the world. Each figure stands at only 2cm tall meaning that creating this work is a rather delicate (yet incredibly rewarding) process.

My Light Paintings are all created using very long exposures and are created under the cover of darkness. I use various tools to create light sculptures and I am present in each image the whole time the photograph is being taken.

I currently have two eBooks available for download: ‘A Step-By-Step Guide to Light Painting’ and ‘A Step-by-Step Guide to Miniature Worlds’ – both can be found in the online shop.

I love injecting a bit of humour into my photography! I have been creating art work using toys for many years now and this portfolio showcases some of my favourite works. These figures stand at approximately 6 inches tall, making Doll’s House furniture of particular interest to me. Patience and an active imagination are the key ingredients for this work.

I have been lucky enough to have worked with some of the world’s biggest brands over the years. If you have an enquiry or idea that you feel could benefit from my knowledge in Light Painting or Macro Photography I’d love to hear from you.

Over the years I have created bespoke artworks for companies like: Adobe, SONY, Lexus, THREE UK, Aida Cruises, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Noor Riyadh and many more. Most of my portfolio is also available for image licensing purposes.

I occasionally send out useful photography emails with some new tutorials, upcoming events and featured exhibitions. No spam ever!
