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.

A few months ago I was involved in a music video with some of my good friends FTO Films and Zeroscale. Zeroscale are a multi discipled design, web and creative sevices company based in London. They are good friends who I grew up with and seem to be able to do just about anything in their industries to a very high standard.

The music video was in a huge old disused barracks in London I went down to shoot behind the scenes and general stills of the band but went early to help with the set build etc. It was great to be surrounded by a load of other young professionals as I nearly allways work on my own or with one or two people to help being a stills photographer.

Please take the time to have a look through the Zeroscale website.

Zeroscale is a West London based Web Design and Creative Media studio that work on projects that span from corporate video, short films and music pro-mos to websites, graphic design and event coverage. We are a young company that pride ourself on our close relationships with all of our clients and our constant pursuit of projects we personally find exciting and engaging.

I also did a timelapse of most of the set build

Took a few photos with Actor Michael Sheen a month or so ago. He was working with students at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. There was quite a bit of waiting around but eventually I was able to get a few minutes to take photos of the meeting they were having. Im not too sure what the photos are being used for, hopefully the new prospectus but whenever a star as well known as Martin Sheen is visiting its allways worth getting on record for future press/publications.
