Work With Me

I have a decent camera, why do I need a professional photographer?

Yes, modern cameras have come a long way! However, many are limited with a single built-in flash and a standard zoom lens and although most are capable of creating good image quality under the right circumstances, not all shoots are under 'ideal' conditions. Lighting is also paramount to a good image. As a professional photographer, I have a large selection of various lighting equipment, and 'professional' cameras and lenses. However, as a famous photographer (Ansel Adams) once said -
“The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!”, and I totally agree.


I have many years' experience of taking photographs, the right equipment for the job, and the knowledge to carry out any task required of me - and to provide excellent images for my clients.

As someone who makes his living from taking photographs, you can expect:
  • a professional, friendly service.
  • a quick turnaround of work.
  • all our prices are clear and up front - no hidden costs.
  • all your requirements will be taken care of - we spend time with you getting to know exactly what your requirements are before a photograph is taken. Totally flexibility - we are happy to work 'out of hours' (without additional charges) to get the job done. We understand that sometime it is just not convenient to have photos taken when staff are on site so we don't mind working early mornings or late evenings - or even through the night!

    Corporate and Event Photography
  • we are available for corporate events and hospitality. We capture the atmosphere of the event, along with a record of the people who attended.
  • we also photograph public relations and product launches.



    Weddings
  • we offer the full wedding package - from the bride and bridesmaids getting their make up and hair done through to the shots at the end of the evening.

    Please contact us for more information, samples and a price list



    Portraits and Head Shots
  • it is a matter of course these days to have headshots of staff in your company, with a fully equipped mobile studio it is easy to set up temporary site at your premises with little disruption to yourselves.
  • personal portraits - these days many people prefer to have informal portraits taken of themselves in familiar, outdoor surroundings - often partaking in favourite activities.
