Unit stills from the short film Roy, I got to work with the lovely BAFTA award-winning David Bradley, such a wonderfully kind man.
We were on a lovely set in a small cottage, within a picturesque village. So much fun was had with lots of laughs!
The photos can also be seen on the On set section of the site!

Happy New Year!
2019 has been another brilliant year in photography, from shooting portraits at the Hermit studio in Nottingham studio to behind the scenes on short films with amazing actors such as Stephen Graham, to photographing for events and working as a photographer at Boots!
I’m so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had this year and I look forward to 2020 and all that it brings!
See below for a selection of some of my favourite photos that I have shot through the year!

I had the opportunity to work as a Unit stills photographer recently on a BFI short film called Pop which is about identity and gender, the short needs some support to get it to completion.
The talented Director Laura Margo Roe and DOP Bartholomew Bazaz did an amazing job on the film as well as the rest of the crew, and it was so much fun to work on, I had the pleasure to work with the wonderful Stephen Graham and the young lead Jake.
So to get it through post-production they have a crowd funder which can be seen below, So get yourself a perk and help it get to the final stage, even a share is a big help! Take a look at some of my stills from the film while your there and some can be seen in this blog to!

I worked on a little Commercial last week doing behind the scenes photography on a Farm in Rugby it was an interesting shoot with tractors and a robot arm for the camera, which was called the Milo! It was very fun to photograph, and watch manoeuvre around the actors to capture the scene.
Here’s a few photos from the shoot, I met some lovely people and leaned how to sneakily get my shots without being hit by a gigantic mechanical arm!
Who needs a mirror!
I’l now be moving onto a short film next week doing more Behind the scenes!
Thanks

First shoot of the year was shooting Behind the scenes photos on a commercial for Glide. It was a lot of fun and a great start to 2019! The commercial can be seen here Glide-Typical Student.
I have some exciting shoots coming up this year which I look forward to sharing in time!
But for now here’s some of the BTS photos from the Glide shoot, more can be seen at the Unit Stills section of the site!

I’ve been quite busy lately on a few film sets. From working on music videos in Ireland to short films in Manchester!
I love working on set and documenting the events of the day, I did Unit stills on a great little music video for Hazey eyes with Director Simon Diamond, and amazing actors Erin Kellyman and Tom Blyth, Stills from this can be seen below and on the unit stills page!

I worked on another music video in Ireland for musician Daithi and Director Lochlainn Mckenna, which is on the low down till the video is released, so I’m unable to share photos for this at the moment. But I can share the music video I worked on in the summer for Daithi, which is here: In my Darkest Moments which has won 3 Shark awards since its release!
I also just came off doing Unit stills on a Short Sci-fi at the weekend, the photos for this are in the editing process at the moment.
And last but not least, I worked on a great little short in Manchester called Lippy, which is a short horror for FOX’s Hulu, Huluween film festival. It was great to work with Director Lucy Campbell DOP Phill Wood, and Actress Kierston Wareing. Stills can be seen below, and on the unit stills page.

It's been a busy couple of weeks, I've worked on a few Commercials, headshot shoots and also photographed the behind the scenes on a short film for the 48-hour SCi-fi challenge.
The 48 hour Sci-fi film challenge is an exciting one, as you only have 48 hours to make the film from the script to final edit, so not much sleep is had, but it's a lot of fun all working together to get it made in time. My job was to document the weekend and the spirit of making the film with behind the scene shots!
The final film from this shoot can be seen following the link: https://vimeo.com/263838480
Below is a few Unit stills from the set to!

I do love being busy, some of the photos from these shoots can be seen on the website in the Unit Stills section and here's a few BTS of me on some of the jobs.
