The largest PR photography commission I took on recently was for SEVENTEEN location photographs for entries to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) North East Renaissance Awards ceremony at Newcastle Civic Centre .. with organisation, photography and delivery of images for use at the evening (and 700+ miles) it was completed in 5 days, weather wasn't great and both the organisers and I could have done with a little more lead up time, but we did well !

Jonny Wilkinson is a top bloke! I spent over three hours with him on a commission for the NSPCC , and he was every inch the 'boy next door'. He's obviously very close to his family and extremely media savvy.

I have recently invested in the latest Lastolite Trilite system .. it allows you to wrap around three gold or silver reflectors to give an even lighting for corporate headshots or portraits of celebrities .

The quality of light is fantastic and I'm using it all the time now, as it adds three highlights to the eye and really lifts the image.
Ask for Trilite photographs when you order!

I completed a two day stock photography commission of ethnic minorities in Newcastle for a national charity. These are a couple of the many hundreds of images taken in the city.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL: "....Brilliant photography and brilliant service. We will definitely be in touch for future photographic jobs..."
