The Jersey Boys

For the first time since the show opened in 2008, all of the Four Seasons have been replaced. I was commissioned to shoot the new cast in rehearsal at the Piccadilly Theatre. 

Sky Garden

Something a little different - I was commissioned to refresh images at 20 Fenchurch Street (the "Walkie Talkie"), both of and from their lovely rooftop Sky Garden. It's well worth a visit - and it's free (but you do have to book). 

Avada Kedavra!

Bees

I covered a series of pubic events at Victoria for Land Securities. The most interesting of which was a beekeeping session. Actually, even 'fascinating' doesn't do the lives of bees justice - they are incredible little creatures. Anyway, there's a happy colony at St. Ermin's Hotel‎, living on a balcony space, making honey and generally having a good time.

From the archives

I'm going through a bit of a phase where I'm reassessing my portfolio - there are a large number of images I like, yet which remain on my hard drives because they're not as strong - or didn't feel so at the time. Or perhaps it's just that I already have something similar in my portfolio. Here's one such picture. Usually I prefer a naturalistic look to my work, but going a little bit further and away from my usual ways of processing, this gets a new lease of life. And all of a sudden, I like it. 

Kaspersky - Alex Moiseev

I was commissioned to take a series of portraits of Kaspersky Lab's Europe MD, Alex Moiseev.  

Melanie Stephenson

Professional sprinter and Diabetes UK ambassador, Melanie was invited by Medtronic to try out its groundbreaking insulin pump.

Noma Dumezweni

Noma has been cast as Hermione in the stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which will open in July.

Victoria

I was invited to East London Dance to cover Collabo, an annual collaborative and interpretative showcase between performers and choreographers.

Egosurfing

I posted one of my photos of Julia Donaldson recently. I was thinking about when I've searched for my work online (photographers have to keep track of their images), and she always appears on page one. So I wanted to post three of my most Google-friendly* shots. 

For the past four years (at least), when I search my name, the image that's usually on the top line is (a version of) astronaut Tim Peake:

As for viral, one photo from a set I took of War Horse's star, Joey, among the poppies at the Tower of London (Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red) has been everywhere, with thousands of shares and likes on Facebook**:

Finally (drum roll...) my most "shared" photo is from 2006 of two Sphynx cats, Dream-maker and Felicity. They are not only beautiful, but they appear to be kissing. As such, it wins the Internet most days:

*By 'Google-friendly', I usually mean shared. And by shared, I mean infringed, a euphemism for stolen. 

**Alas, the value of a picture credit is zero.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

We took Sion Daniel Young, who plays Christopher Boone, away from the West-End's Gielgud Theatre for a shoot at Paddington Station. In the story, Christopher, who has Asperger's syndrome, makes a difficult journey to London by himself intending to see his mother, but is completely overwhelmed by the rushing commuters, the bustle and the noise. 

This Girl Can

Blue Rubicon commissioned me to photograph some of the ladies featured in Sport England's hugely successful "This Girl Can" campaign (www.thisgirlcan.co.uk), a celebration of active women. Here are a few from the shoots:
