Delighted to be invited by Studio52 to photograph this unique light sculpture that they designed. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it before, the design, the engineering and the craftsmanship are quite spectacular and brings life to a space otherwise quite void. You need to read the details behind this to appreciate it more, you can find them on this link to Studio52’s summary here https://www.st52.com/
The start of the year is a great time to review work and one thing I have noticed is that during my architectural and interiors assignments just how important the details are. They add context, quality, colour, graphic and purpose and capturing them as images helps our clients with the narrative that allows them to illustrate the project and its value as a whole.
These images come from a wide variety of assignments over the past two years and I would be more than happy share the detailed story behind them, or take look at a few notes on my approach at the foot of this post.
My approach to capturing this type of image recognises the following; (i) an understanding of the project brief, (ii) a good eye, (iii) speed (iv) and understanding of light (v) a notebook and (vi) a proven method of capture. I always walk the space to set out my key shots that will need time to curate. At the same time I look for the those points of detail that will support these key images. These are pretty much all taken handheld using a camera and lens combination that has fabulous stabilisation allowing me to shoot down to 2 seconds when required.
Delighted to be commissioned by BDG architecture+design to photograph their design for WPP’s Paris Campus. A spectacular environment fashioned within what was originally the Citroën 2CV factory in Levallois-Perret, a western suburb of Paris. WPP’s Campus programme brings together a number of agencies under one roof providing space that can foster greater communication and working together.

A dream assignment for me mixing work and sports. Quantity Surveyor’s RLB in preparation for the surveyors sevens tournament in May brought staff from across their UK offices to Saracens home at the Stonex Stadium in North London. Warm ups, touch rugby and netball followed by a social at the F1 experience in the evening. Such a great way to bring people together, promote team works and demonstrate some of the RLB principles

What a great assignment, photographing WPP’s recently opened Campus building in Manchester, designed by award winning BDG architecture + design. A dynamic space occupied by welcoming people … an office where pride in their new workplace is evident. The building comprises eight floors offering a variety of collaborative and dynamic co-working areas for the 550 people from 8 WPP agencies.
