Fly Fishing with Marina Gibson and Weber UK

A day with Weber UK means great food and great stories. I have been photographing the Weber chefs spend a day with fly fishing queen, Marina Gibson. It is incredibly satisfying to see the excitement that fishing brings to people. Documenting the whole narrative throughout the day, from lake to lunch! We were fortunate to be in the company of some amazing chefs: @melissafood @jonrfinch @huntergathercook @tbone_chops @danielcooperbbq

We enjoyed a variety of dishes, from cold-smoked trout fajitas to grilled trout and salads, making it one helluva feast next to Longstock lake on the @leckfordestate.

Capturing the lifestyle elements of the day in the form of stills and film with the Canon R5 and the RF 24mm - 70mm lens. The aim of this short film was to capture the journey of the day at Leckford Estate with Marina’s guidance and the joy that comes from good food, good grills and good company. Short film to be released soon.

Filming in the Outdoors with Presenter Lizzie Daly

It has been an exciting week in North Wales capturing new and exciting outdoor content for Lizzy Daly's new project 'EVOLVED'. This project is about encourage people to gain confidence in the outdoors, from being self sufficient in the mountains and at sea to building confidence in different habitats and environments. It has been a three day successful shoot and plenty of belly laughs. From mountains to coasts, all in beautiful grey grey skies and sideways rain but we made every shoot day count.

Behind the Scenes of the Shackleton SS23 Shoot

It was a great achievement to be given the opportunity by Shackleton to photograph their SS23 campaign. Shackleton required UK / Dorset content using my Landrover Defender and a range of Shackleton outerwear. The focus would be keeping the ‘luxury’, ‘gentleman’ connotation that Shackleton has built within the outdoor range but adding the ‘adventure’ and ‘endurance’ element to the story.

A two day lifestyle content photoshoot was created, delivering a selection of engaging lifestyle, luxury imagery to bring the collection to life. This included a mixture of natural storytelling from real life adventures and close ups of manufacturing and craftmanship. A mixture of outdoor scenarios and coastal adventures to show off the elements of outdoor wear.

The shoot is to took place in a range of locations around Dorset and aims to tell the story of a gentleman finding his clarity before the working day begins. The shoot began at sunrise travelling via WINDY boats to Old Harry Rocks, an iconic destination using navigation and skills to tell the narrative and visually indicate how the outdoor range can support this type of adventure and environment.

I was using the Canon RF 50mm with the Canon R5 for the first time and I can honestly say, what an improvement to the quality of my work! Here are some behind the scene photographs shot by @cycletog

CONTENT TRIP: 16th May - 20th May The Dolomites

Photography is an important part of a brands visual identity and I work closely with my clients to capture their brand’s story. For my next content trip, I will be spending 4 days exploring the breath-taking mountain ranges in the Dolomites located in North Eastern Italy with a small creative team. The Dolomites offer some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. We will be driving from Venice to Cortina D’Ampezzo where will be base ourselves for the duration. From there, we have designed a route exploring a variety of landscapes and terrains, capturing some of the most popular viewpoints as well as the hidden gems. I have wanted to explore the Dolomites at this time of year for as long as I can remember. The landscape promises amazing peaks, light and adventurous conditions, and I am excited to create some dramatic stories. With all of the valuable lessons and experience’s I’ve accumulated, this following content opportunity can be a platform for consistency and adaption for creating inspiring content to support your brand. I want to showcase my journey with your products in an active style, that compliments your brand and brings your products to life. In the form of video and stills, the goal is to capture the natural, the believable lifestyle moments and the breath taking views that are faced along the journey. A product test and a true story.

Who Is Involved

Keeping this adventure small and tackling this project in its entirety. I want to make this adventure believable and realistic to portray the story and adventure we are about to face. I will not only be behind the camera but also in front to create the story of two people exploring dramatic rock formations, 3 mountain peaks and several of secret viewpoints for 4 days. The team will provide female leads for this expedition. We come from creative and rural backgrounds with adventurous spirits, uniting to capture this journey that is going to be nothing short of epic.

SW1 Street style

SW1 Street style with actor, singer, model, Arteeva.

Test photography shoots are always fun, especially when you want to practice some ideas or just get creative. I was working with Base Models UK in London for this one. I’ve not photographed much street style and I thought shooting in the centre of Pimilco would give us plenty of quiet areas to explore.

My initial plan was to use the private gardens here to have a more ‘outdoors’ vibe and use a model to create a springtime fashion shoot. With some complications, I had to change this plan last minute and use the city environment.

I want to get more into fashion this year so working with Arteeva and Base Models was the perfect opportunity to practice model direction and angles.

Using the Canon R5 and a 35 - 70mm to shoot 3 different scenarios produced a few really pleasing shots. Being winter the light disappeared really quickly that afternoon but we made use of the last few gaps of light.

Pumped and Exfoliated

5 content filled days in Dubai! Defenders, bikes, new environments and connections turned out to be a great experience. This series was taken from a 6am start in the Desert with Chirenj Chandran and his Defender friends Sandy The Landy. I got in contact with Chirenj through Instagram 3 years ago when I needed advice for my MotoTote Bike Carrier and now managed to hang out and create some great content!

I landed in Dubai with little plans or expectations. I realised how much Instagram has connected me with such amazing people all over the world. I took a spontaneous trip to gather new inspiration and some ‘adventure’.

Time to start planning 2022

Time to start planning for 2021! It is already looking like exciting, heading into the new year with a content trip... hopefully! 🤞🏼 Overall, I’m looking forward to exploring with new brands! Stay tuned!
