A few months back I did a job for the Mud Dock Cafe  and Bike Shop. The brief was great as it was very open and I was encouraged to get to know the place then photographs it how I see fit.

I often have a set list of many photos I have done in previous restaurants before to repliacte in some way or another, but tried to not use the list as this job was more about capturing the place and the Story behind this very unique Lifestyle Bike Establishment. It was a bit of a challenge at first as I was trying to go back to the way I used to shoot years ago before taking photos commercially.

After a few Visits I started to get some ideas and thoughts on the people, place and story and then Knew that it would be a great short book documenting the three areas of the establishment – Workshop, cafe and shop.

I have had a bit of time on my hands recently so have collated a load of photographs from the archives and made a specific restaurant portfolio. I have photographed so many restaurants in the past I cant really remember how many or which ones but its fair to say I am quite confident making pictures within cafes and restaurants so I decided to make this as a promo to try and get a bit of work for the high end local eateries.

I have just finished putting together a Food Photography Portfolio Book. Its quite long but im happy with it as there are many areas of food I have photographed. The book follows the raw ingredients all the way to the plate and shows every step along the way.

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.

While looking through all my old hard drives (from my previous post) I realised that I have alot of architecture photography that I really like and in an ideal world I would get alot more architecture work. I decided to make a portfolio of just architecture work and after doing a bit of research I found that most architecture photographers have a few main sections usually divided into the use of the building. So here is my Architecture Portfolio.
