Lucie is a sponsored free surfer and lovely to work with, even when the weather wasn't exactly tropical!
Some of the shoot involved wearing a bikini and then running and splashing around in the slightly 'chilly' water, she was 100% committed and with a massive smile on her face as well, a true professional.
I was commissioned last year by the lovely people at Poden Farms to create an image library of their beautiful horses and great staff at work for use in the UK and USA.
On the day of the shoot we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather and a light breeze, this was handy as we did some aerial footage as well.
The staff at the farm were great and really up for a laugh during the shoot, the horses were the stars of the show though, very calm with flashes going off and drones flying around, it just shows how well they have been trained, yet getting a bit cheeky when the camera was pointed at them (see pic 5)!
Below are some of my favourites images from the day.
Yes that is a treadmill for a horse!
Typical, when you want a horse to be serious.

A lovely commission for Premier Inn to shoot their Junior Hotel Inspectors. A group of children were let loose on the hotel for the day to test the food, beds and staff.
A very busy, hectic day with filming and stills going on at the same time, multiple room and area shooting meant lifting and shifting lights and equipment all over the hotel. this is where having a good strong assistant comes in handy!

Before anyone says anything I know I have spelt 'Color' without a 'u' but it's originally an American event so it's spelt the American way.I love covering this event for Wembley Park, as the atmosphere is amazing and people love having their picture taken, some even demand it!

I was asked to photograph a few cars last week and being a car lover of course I said yes, what I didn't expect was the range of beauty and savage power between them all.
Unfortunately the Aston is a pure track car with one seat and nothing else, so I was offered a ride in the WRC Escort Cosworth. What I noticed as I climbed in was the lack of, well, everything! I clipped myself into the 5 point racing harness and heard the loud growl of the 360bhp engine start. As we started off I was told not to touch the handle next to my right hand, this was the hydraulic brake, that allows for handbrake turns on the course and is very effective!
Pulling out onto the road I'm pushed back into my seat, leaving my stomach behind, as the turbo kicks in with savage force. The noise is deafening and amplified with all the stripped back to metal cockpit.
What can I say about the little Cosworth, it was unbelievably loud, cold, uncomfortable (not used to harnesses) and smelt of petrol but what it did do was put a MASSIVE smile on my face, one of the best driving experiences of my life, I want to go rallying now!
Commissioned by NBC Universal to shoot their International Television global sales team while they were all in London.
All shot on my Canon 5d mk3 and lit with Elinchrom lighting.
Here are a selection of images from my shoot with Jenny Eclair, not only great fun with an amazing house but lives just round the corner from me, who knew!
Here is the editorial I shot a couple of months ago for the spring/summer Specsavers hearing magazine.
Jean-Christophe was a lovely guy and very patient over the day, especially with numerous clothing and set up changes. It was a great day in a beautiful apartment, tasty food and awesome crew.
Here are the Mini Moves, Got to Dance finalists 2013, shot for Specsavers at the Royal Opera House ahead of their performance at the Spectacle Wearer of the Year event.
These girls were fantastic to work with, full of energy and up for jumping around which made for some great images.
Here is the layout of Oliver Proudlock in the Autumn / Winter 2013 specsavers magazine.
We shot the autumn / winter spread at the height of the UK summer heat wave. Oliver was a lovely guy and a true professional soldiering on wearing autumnal clothing when everyone else was melting in shorts and flip-flops!
I have posted an edit of this image on my blog before but this is the final edit.
I am pleased to announce Sir Ranulph's portrait has been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, London, for their collection.
