I’m a Manchester-based photographer and director with more than 20 years’ experience creating commercial imagery for agencies and brands.

My career began in high-end retouching, which gave me a strong technical understanding of image-making that still shapes the way I work today. From there I moved behind the camera, developing a particular specialism in food, drink and still life, alongside increasingly complex motion and directing projects.

That mix of photography, post-production and moving image has taken me from carefully controlled tabletop shoots to high-speed composites, product campaigns and integrated advertising work across print, digital, social and broadcast.

Over the years I’ve worked with brands including Xbox, Aldi, Yeo Valley, Fox’s and Magnet, collaborating closely with creatives, producers, stylists and production teams to take ideas from concept through to final delivery.

I’m currently Head of Photography at McCann Manchester, where my role combines photography, production experience, creative problem-solving and the delivery of commercial work across multiple platforms.

In 2026, I was a finalist in the World Food Photography Awards in the Food Portraiture category, and was also shortlisted for the British Photography Awards in both Food & Drink and Commercial Product.

Alongside stills, I direct moving image and broadcast work, particularly across food, drink and tabletop.

Whatever the scale of the project, the aim is always the same: to find the strongest way to execute the idea and create work that is visually distinctive, technically resolved and commercially effective.
