A week or so ago I sat down with Olga to capture some relaxed and honest pictures of her in our home.

Jason Atherton

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton in his brand new restaurant in Mayfair The Litte Social. Although we only had a short time I managed to squeeze in a couple of looks, it was nice to meet the very driven and busy man and hear about his approach to food.

Strangers in Clapham

_MG_8110

Recently I found myself sitting at my desk not feeling so good: I had spent way too long sat behind a computer and not enough time with a camera in my hand. The light outside was beautiful so I grabbed a camera and headed out the door. These are the people and sights I met when walking around Clapham Common.

Roadtrip to Brighton

_MG_5974

I love shooting in great locations with the freedom to embrace them. I am expanding my lifestyle portfolio to include fashion images that capture this feeling. Road trips to random fun places rock, so I thought I would show this in a photoshoot. After a good chat with the stylist who would be working on the shoot, Vivienne Masters, I decided a road trip to Brighton would fit the deal. In my head I had warm seaside images portraying a summery trip to the seaside. On the day things worked out a little different as it was tipping it down with rain for half the day and blowing a gale. In the end I think I preferred it this way, there was so much emotion in the weather and the crazy wind gave the images a real sense of adventure and freedom.

Thomas Koch - Claridge's General Manager

_MG_0145-Edit

For a recent edition of The Mayfair Resident I photographed the general manager of the world famous Claridge's Hotel. Although we had very little time the surroundings did make things quite a bit easier for me, there are many very beautiful backdrops in the hotel, so I just had to choose the right ones and then settle Thomas Koch into the portrait session.

Many thanks to Thomas for the fun shoot and to the hotel for being so helpful.

Seb Emina coauthor of The Breakfast Bible

_MG_7660-Edit-2

It was a tasty pleasure to meet and photograph Seb Emina. Since a discussion one morning over some bad tasting yet expensive plates Seb and his friends decided not enough was written about morning eating and decided to start a blog. This turned out to be rather successful and they have now written a book about all things breakfast related called The Breakfast Bible. I got to photograph Seb whilst stopping him from tucking into his favourite of breakfast meals, the full english, and then afterwards we all sat down for a good bit of food from The Brockley Mess (my second breakfast that day). A fine morning indeed.
