I have recently had a few jobs doing Office Reportage where clients wanted some realistic photographs of their teams and businesses. These jobs are often combined with more formal headshots which can be seen here

I very much enjoy doing the reportage style photographs as I feel it plays much more to my strengths for taking observed informal photography. I also love black and white photographs as it was what I was largely bought up with through university in Newport.

There was more Rioting in Stokes Croft Bristol last thursday. There was a police helicopter circling a large area and I could see policemen and women changing into riot gear on my road so I decided to go down to have a look with a few friends and my camera.

I have edited these ALOT after numerous warnings from hooded groups worried about online images being used as evidence against them, which is fair enough. I don’t condone the attacks against police however I don’t work for them either.

I have been taking photographs along the Glamorgan Heritage Coast in South Wales for years. It is mainly a therapeutic process of getting outside and taking a few photos which are not work, where there is no pressure involved.

I have been doing little bits of post to them here and there and when I had a look the other day there seemed to be a good little edit so I made a book. Please view it in full screen as it is best viewed on black.

A year or so ago I had the opportunity to shoot some photographs with the Cape Town Opera. I had not done much Theatre Photography before so was exited to give it a try.

Kiran Ridley who I was working with at the time has done lots of backstage documentary photography with various performances both Musical and Theatre, so he was covering most of the backstage stuff, but I did get a few photographs backsatge in intervals. Alot of the photographs of the performance I took are on my events gallery on my website but I didnt feel there was space to put up the backstage photographs so here are a few that I got.
