The day the hairdressers opened

That’s my best effort for a catchier title than ‘Corporate Portraits’, which wouldn’t have brought you here. But then, this is an entire gallery dedicated to recent office photography. With subject matter like this, it’s plain wrong to tantalise anyone with even the most slight clickbait-y title.

So why would I do such a thing - and at Christmas? Well, since nobody had had a portrait for over a year, and with so many staff changes on top, it was inevitable it would occupy a lot of my work (98.8% to be precise) once restrictions were lifted. So while I’d not normally post so many pictures of people in suits, it makes sense to share them as I’ve been doing so much of this kind of work. So, “Sorry, not sorry,” as they say:

Recent work - February 2019

Here’s a selection of recent work , mostly with a commercial / event angle:

We took Joey up on the roof at dusk to announce the return of War Horse return to the National Theatre.

Also for the NT, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was moving to the Piccadilly Theatre. We took the scene where Christopher is lost and bewildered on arriving in London, and shot it at Piccadilly Circus lights. It was probably the least unusual thing going on there, despite Toby being a real rat on this occasion (we’d used a puppet previously).

Also for Mousetrap Theatre Projects, I photographed a Relaxed Performance of Motown - The Musical. These performances are designed for families with children with special needs.

I ran a (very) informal photography session, and took photos of visitors, at Facebook London’s annual ‘Take Your Parents to Work’ day. This is me - and I don’t like having my picture taken.
