Studio/ Office: The Maltings, St Mary's Gate, Wirksworth, Derbyshire. DE4 4DQ. UK

I'm based in the UK on the corner of the Peak District National Park with great access to major road networks.

I also work in London, Sheffield and on location.


Overview:

My studio work centres on crisp, dramatic lighting to highlight precision‑engineered products, often contrasted with natural textures.

I also create lifestyle imagery for high‑profile brands, many within the performance apparel and cycling industries.

Creating ideas around a brand’s vision is central to my process, often in collaboration with stylists, videographers, and CGI artists.

If you’ve got a project in mind, I’d love to hear about it.

Clients include:

Lowe Alpine / Berghaus / Hedkayse / Rab / Henmores / Podsacs / Leedum / Singletrack World / Goalfix / The American Mountain Co / Schades / Outdoor Designs / Shovai / Images Costumes / Focx / Sue Carson Saddles

+ I am also proud to have worked for a range of creative agencies and magazines.


Biography:

Photographer & creative. Mountain biker & outdoor adventurer.

Building dens, playing in fields and exploring on my bike (a Raleigh Burner with yellow Skyway mag wheels) were the activities I loved most as a kid. Since then my adventures have got bigger and the bike is much more capable, but my spirit to have fun and explore remains the same.

My first foray with photography was as a teenager but I've been a creative all my life.

I’m inspired by the natural world/ dramatic landscapes and great human endeavours. I love my family & friends, mountain biking, climbing, adventure, exploration, chess, Jaffa Cakes, drinking tea (mainly Yorkshire), helping people, and taking pictures.

It is my goal to be creative with whatever I do, and help others reach their full potential along the way.

Thanks to Steve Gregory for my mugshot - Castleton, Cave Dale loop.

If you've got a project you wish to discuss, that's great. Just get in touch; I'd love to hear from you.
