Working Late

It’s hard to believe it’s already two years since my first collaboration with Harry in Birmingham. Here’s a look back at some images featuring a ‘businessman working late’ vibe which are still some of my favourites. 😎

The Steam Master

A look back to my shoot with model Nigel. We had a set of images ideas we wanted to work on, but when Nigel started to vape, well, I saw this homage to Tom of Finland...

Afterglow

A beautiful pairing of models Harry and @tonyxavierphoto.bsky.social from our recent collaboration in London. The golden light streaming into the room was amazing, really elevating the mood and expression of our shots. More to follow!

Past, Present / Private Investigator

You may be thinking I’m based in London or the UK, but I’m actually based in Ireland 🇮🇪 and travel for most of my shoots. Here's Irish model Richard a couple of years ago. Richard has the most amazing eyes!

A look back to a fantastic, creative shoot in Dublin with Irish model Michael 🇮🇪 I decided to swap my camera gear from Fujifilm to Sony the day before - so no stress!

You Can Leave Your Hat On...

Model Steve brought a vintage Policeman's helmet to our shoot. I love the vulnerability and emotion he gives these images - a reluctant participant of 'The Full Monty'...

Hey, Harry, why don't we cut up that shirt and tie? Okay! Here are some cheeky shots with model Harry, his clothes just keep falling off!

Autumn is Here

Some golden hour shots of model Liam a few weeks back. The orange jacket, the walls and the buttery light all make for some Autumnal themed images.

I shaved my beard off a few weeks ago and let the new one grow into a feral horror - Happy Halloween!

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk

When you've shot everything on your list - get the milk out! A few cups of milk splashed across Harry closed out our shoot :-)

Milk Tray

You need to be of a certain age to remember the Milk Tray commercials, but a pop of colour and the black and white was enough for my mind to go there… Here’s a one light fashion set-up with Harry.

“Sex and Politics” explores the intersections of sexuality, representation, and power in contemporary photography. The exhibition features artists whose work engages the body, desire, and the cultural ideologies that shape them.

Thrilled my image will feature!

On our last shoot, Harry and I mixed in some female clothing into our set-ups. We have done this before, but these pieces were particularly glitzy and glamorous! There was only one thing to do: ramp up the camp to 11 😎✨🤩

Harry effortlessly oozes sex-appeal.

An Englishman in London

Playing with the rim light and silhouette in this shot of Harry10_London from our collaboration with @tonyxavierphoto.bsky.social. I love the stern look and closed body language in front of the London skyline.
