Wedding photography in Battersea SW11 and Clapham SW4 London
I am very excited about some special wedding photography coming up this summer when I’ll be photographing my friend and fellow wedding photographer Charlotte’s big day. It is both an honour – and also rather extra adrenelin-inducing – to be asked to photograph another photographer’s wedding, but mostly I am just so excited and happy [...]
Portrait photography in London: Stephen
Part of the work and services I offer as a photographer is portrait sessions with adults. These range from individuals who want a simple headshot for their business, spotlight entry, Facebook or other social media page - in fact all sorts of places where a good strong portrait is useful to them – to [...]
Business & publicity portraiture in London: Stephen at the Royal Society of Arts
A huge part of the reason that I love being a photographer, and especially a portrait photographer, is that I simply like meeting and photographing people I have never met before. I suppose on a simple level I’m just fascinated by people but there is also the personal challenge for me with every commission I [...]
60th wedding anniversary and family portraiture photography
A mixture of event and family portraiture for Mary and Ian’s gathering of family and friends to celebrate 60 years of marriage last Sunday. It’s been pretty cold recently but Ian and Mary were blessed with clear skies, mild temperatures and some lovely light so we kicked off with some images of their children’s families before heading [...]
Lucas Hatch,RHS Young Gardener of the Year 2012: Publicity & PR Photography

Lucas was representing his school where he has for the last few years worked all spare hours spearheading the creation of the school’s garden. He was up against [...]
Photographing children: the decisive moment in the ordinary and everyday
When I’m photographing children, I always allow lots of time so that I can maximise time observing them doing things that are natural to them and capture them within that. With younger children I mix it up - positively joining in with their play and integrating into their activities as well as standing right back [...]
Family and children’s portrait photography in Suffolk
In my experience as a Children’s portrait photographer, young children love going out in bad weather, and as long as they aren’t cold, barely even notice it. Yesterday I posted some images from my children’s portrait photography session (in the rain) with the Vinton family in Suffolk to show what can be achieved. Being a [...]
Who says you can’t get great shots in the rain? Family and children’s portrait photography in Ipswich and Grundisburgh, Suffolk
I had the pleasure of returning to the Vinton family last week – a family of three children aged 2, 5 and 8. A couple of years ago I photographed the children’s christening at Grundisburgh church, near Woodbridge Suffolk so it was lovely to go back especially now their youngest is on her feet and [...]
Portrait Photography in Suffolk: Derek is 100
I think I would like a full time job photographing people who have been around for a long time. There is something very special about being with older folk. Its something to do with a lack of pretence, nothing to prove/at peace with the world, a calmness, honesty and wisdom. And how often does this [...]
Wall products: Oak Box Frame and Contemporary multiaperture frame
For today’s post a couple of recent products I’ve produced for The Shah family whose baby Faris I photographed in the autumn starting off in London’s Hyde Park before returning to their home in Queensway. They chose two products from my range: the Box Frame which comes in a choice of three mouldings: oak (as [...]
