BULA!

A couple o weeks back, I had the amazing opportunity to work on still and motion content for Fiji Airways through some of my favourite people at FLIPP Management. There was a lot of Fijian pride abuzz all over the island as Fiji were hoping to win their first Olympic medal in the mens rugby sevens. Fast forward a week and it was GOLD for the small island nation! Huge congratulations to the team, and all our Fijian friends we met along the way!

Our trip was a full on few days of running around Nadi Airport but we were super happy with the results, given our small team, logistics and time constraints. The motion piece is below and the stills are up on the Fiji Airways Facebook page...

Fiji is beautiful in many ways, but the friendliness and hospitality of its people is what really sets it apart. Bula vinaka!

the house that rich built...

Earlier this year, in the middle of winter, I gave a few days of my time to work on the building of a good friend’s house in Cornwall. It was amazing to watch the place grow, from the felling of trees, to the creation of beams and boards, through to the erection and assembly as it began to take shape. Inspirational as always Richard Stewart! Hope it was a superb summer!

Sending big love across the oceans to you and yours…

istrategy conference...

Not too long ago I was approached to cover an event called Istrategy, held at Stamford Bridge in London's south west... The focus of the digital marketing and social media conference was to inform and educate attendees on the latest trends in all manner of digital disciplines, care of various experts and big brand CEOs... It was a really positive two days of shooting and a great opportunity to listen to insights from some great minds in business, especially Redbull Media House CCO Alex Koppel...

documenting art...

I was approached recently to photograph an upcoming exhibition at FOLD gallery in Clerkenwell in London. It's something I think I'll really miss about the city. Private views strewn throughout the streets of the east end. There's not too many better ways to spend an evening with friends, taking in some creative work with a couple of beers and a bunch of banter...

angie porter - shine...

I had the opportunity, not too long back, to work with DOP Charlie Herranz on a music video for artist Angie Porter called "Shine". I was a long day on set, but it was a good crew and I really enjoyed the chance to be in full control of gripping. Below are a few pics from the day and the final product...

Soooo windy...

High five!

barclays...

Last year I was commissioned to shoot some in-house and behind the scenes images for a new Barclays Bank campaign promoting their new app... It was quite a funny concept in hindsight; bank managers in suits and ties, playing with giant building blocks to promote a financial institution... 

Ahhh the joys of advertising...

The vibe on set was relaxed and organised which made for an enjoyable days shooting... Thanks to Torie and Angharad at Redwood agency for having me onboard...

Lights, camera, ACTION!
