Italy shoot for Telegraph/Walkers

Last month I had great fun shooting celeb chef Tom Aikens for an advertorial promoting a new range of Walkers crisps. Commissioned by Telegraph media group, I shot Tom in Modena, Italy. The brief was to photograph Tom in this rural region best know for its balsamic vinegar, an ingredient used in Market Deli, the new premium range from Walkers.

Here are a few images from the shoot.

Images of Rio de Janeiro

All eyes will be on Brazil over the next month for world cup 2014. Over the years I have been lucky to shoot in Brazil several times, both for my own projects and on commissioned jobs. I was there last october for ten days shooting a magazine story and I have to say that it one of my favorite places to be.

Here's a selection of images of Rio from my archive.

South Africa shoot for Lonely Planet Traveller Magazine

Hot off the press today is the latest issue of Lonely Planet Traveller Magazine featuring a story I shot in South Africa. Arriving in Cape Town, my first task was to recce a suitably dramatic landscape in the Hex river valley so that I could shoot the Blue Train - South Africa's answer to the Orient Express - as it travelled south the following day. After bagging the shot the next morning I then raced by car back to Cape Town to join the Blue Train for the next twenty-four hours as it speed its way north to Pretoria. The next leg of our journey took us to Kruger National Park where I managed to photograph four of Africa's big five in just a day and half. We then had a gruelling ten hour drive to the Zulu battle fields of Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift followed by hikes in the Drakensburg Mountains. We finished off our trip in the surreal landscape of the Wild Coast.

New travel folio

Brazil for Lonely Planet Traveller Magazine

Last month I spent two weeks in Brazil shooting a story for Lonely Planet Traveller Magazine.  Starting off with five days in Rio,The first objective was to shoot the huge statue of Christ the Redeemer for the cover of the magazine. We took the door off the helicopter and I was strapped in with my feet dangling out as we ascended to get the best view looking out over the beaches of Rio and beyond. Over the following days I shot the vibrant beach life of Rio and then travelled further afield to capture the arts scene of colonial Tiradentes, the beautiful beaches of Isla Grande, a national park, and finally an ecological reserve.
